[CentOS] Dell vostro 1550, BCM 4313 wireless, not connecting to net
Hello All, ?I have a Dell Vostro 1550 laptop. i3 core, 64 bit, 8gb ram etc etc. I had a nic interface, but some how the wired nic is not working. So I am trying to use the BCM 4313 wireless chip, of this system, to connect to the internet. ?I have Cent os 6.5 (64 bit) installed with the required libraries and kernel sources, headers etc. I got the source code of the driver, hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_141.tar.gz. Extracted the tar, and compiled. Normal compilation errors: # make?????????????????????????????????????? ## Errors # make API=CFG80211????????? ## Errors # make API=WEXT???? ---------> Compiles fine. # rmmod bcma echo "blacklist bcma" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf # modprobe lib80211 # modprobe cfg80211 # insmod wl.ko Network Manager shows all surrounding wireless network, and I select my wifi network and enter the key. Authentication required by wireless network (Dialog Box) Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'giri' Wireless security :? WEP 40/128-bit key (HEX or ASCII) Key? :?????????????? ********************* When I hit the <Connect> button of this dialog box, the network manager shows the rotating signal in the network connection at the top of the Linux desktop status bar. But after a few seconds, once again this dialog-box "Authentication required by wireless network" pops up, and keeps asking me for the key/password. Rhel 6 (64 bit), I built the same driver, and make (only just make - without parameters) for compiling the driver, created the driver, without any problems. Insmod the driver, and upon selecting the wifi network and entering the key, rhel 6 64 bit version, perfectly connected to the net, on this same laptop. Can anyone let me know, why the centos 6.5 kernel/Network Manager is asking for the (wireless security) key every few seconds, again and again, and not connecting to the internet. Thanks in advance.
