Dell Vostro 3500 with Broadcom BCM4312 (as siba reports) accessing AP with WPA-PSK encryption enabled. AP is 2m away from notebook,directly visible. Loaded modules: if_bwn.ko siba_bwn.ko wlan.ko wlan_amrr.ko wlan_wep.ko wlan_ccmp.ko wlan_tkip.ko bwn_v4_lp_ucode.ko. Within first 1-2 mins after boot I get "bwn0: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0x2)" errors at tty0. Pinging access point with 1000 packages gives 20% to 50% packet loss. Loading Ubuntu LiveCD at the same conditions and installing offered 802.11 Linux STA driver gives 0% packet loss. How-To-Repeat: grep -E "wlan|bwn" /boot/loader.conf wlan_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_ccmp_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" if_bwn_load="YES" siba_bwn_load="YES" bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load="YES" grep -E "wlan|bwn" /etc/rc.conf ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" wlans_bwn0="wlan0" cat /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf network={ ssid="ittomsk.ru" psk="******" } ping 192.168.0.1 (AP address)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-amd64->freebsd-wireless Over to maintainer(s).
The BCM4312 doesn't support 802.11n created by default. You juste have to switch mode to 802.11b when creating virtual interface. FIX: #ifconfig wlan create wlandev bwn0 mode 11b
