Titel: bcm4306 (Broadcom driver) not working after reboot -
Hello,

Just did a dist-upgrade and all ok , notice now my Broadcom wireless is using a native driver not ndiswrapper , however I have to set up wireless properties everytime I reboot using the Kanotix Network GUI, then ok.

Why doesn't it start everytime and why am I losing my wireless settings ie : WPA channel etc...

thanks for any help , I am running Kanotix on a DELL 9100 Laptop by the way.

check /etc/network/interfaces.

Kano hat folgendes geschrieben::
check /etc/network/interfaces.


Thanks Kano,

This is what is there:

netmask 255.255.255.0

wpa_supplicant's config has changed and netcardconfig can't handle it yet.
try changing the eesid-line to
wpa-ssid trueblue
and change the last line to:
wpa-psk "yourpassphrase" or wpa-psk 00000000000000000000 (where the 0s are replaced by the key generated with "wpa_passphrase [passphrase]").

I think /etc/resolv.conf is always overwritten. Thats why i prefer DHCP.
