I've installed LMDE last week and everything works fine except for the Wireless LAN. I have a Broadcom BCM4313 card in my laptop. I tried several drivers but the only one which seems to work so far is brcmsmac as it's the only one which makes the wlan0 device appear in iwconfig's output. NDISwrapper would probably work, but I wasn't able to find a suitable WinXP 64bit driver yet. wl and b43 don't work at all.
iwconfig:
Code: Select all
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=off
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:on
Code: Select all
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid <my-ssid>
wpa-psk <my-key>
Another problem is, that rfkill says that wireless LAN is hard blocked. I have a key with a red light on my keyboard, but pressing it does not unblock WLAN and as far as I know, there are no other hardware switches. Is that a driver problem or another configuration issue?
I hope you can help me.
