Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
I am using Network Manager on Gutsy with a Dell Inspiron 6400. It's with
the firmware that comes for the bcm43xx card within the Gutsy
distribution from the Restricted Drivers Manager. It works OK @ home
(Linksys WRT54gl) but the speed is somewhat low - about 8-10Mbit/s, when
the card is working in 24Mbit/s mode. Also, very often when I try to
connect to some other network, when I choose the network, the manager
tries to connect, but after some time (if the network for exemple only
authorises by MAC address, so it does not return a dhcp offer) the
network manager causes the bcm43xx module to stop functioning - the
light representing the wireless on the laptop stops. Even if I do rmmod
bcm43xx and then modprobe bcm43xx there is no difference - I have to
restart the whole machine to make it work again.
