Title:
5 GHz networks invisible on 432b Broadcom chipset
Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Possible to connect by "connect to hidden wireless network"
Possibly due to the fact that my router is a Netgear WNDR3700, and you
cannot set a fixed 20Hz/40Hz bandwidth, only "up to 300 MBps". Not an
issue for 2.4 GHz networks. Yes, the 432b supports an just fine in
Windows 7 and MacOS.
I have not tried b43 yet, although I hear it is supported. It is not
a network manager bug, because the "scan" command for that interface
also only shows 2.4 GHz networks.
The worst part about this bug is that auto-connect does not work for
"hidden" wireless networks. My network is not actually hidden...it
just seems that Ubuntu thinks it is.
1. Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10
2. bcmwl-kernel-source:
Installed: 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu4

3. I expect to be able to view the 5 GHz network in network manager applet.
I also expect auto-connect.
4. I cannot view the 5 GHz network in network manager applet. Auto-connect
does not work because the system thinks the network is "hidden".
