Broadcom 4306 initial OS install works out the box.........do updates and now won't connect.

Been a while since I wrangled with that issue but, IIRC, an update to GnuPG or the wireless packages (I'm reaching waaay back, here) will require at least a reconfig of the WEP key(s) and, (possibly) a run through ndiswrapper configuration.

I'm thinking of several threads, here, that you'll probably find easily with a search on ndiswrapper and bcm.

I have posted on this many times.

First thing is to make sure bcm43xx is in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

Set up first without encryption, get encryption working later

freejack, I'm not sure if you have a "new" problem or not. Just last week, on Friday, I did an update to my Dell Inspiron B130 laptop. Unfortunately, I have been unable to play with it this weekend because I was away. However, Friday night, when I tried to connect wirelessly, it did not work, even when it had worked flawlessly before.

I will try to test it over the next couple nights and see if I can isolate the problem to new software from an update, or a local problem on my end (my router's been flaky for some time now).

Thanks mdmarmer for the reminder too. I will check my blacklist once I power up my laptop. I also have a backup that I did a couple weeks ago (gotta make a newer one) and see if it changed.

I believe that you'll find that all of the modules will have to be removed again.
