Description b_koepke 2006-06-04 12:09:42 UTC 
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:
Distribution:Gentoo
Hardware Environment:bcm43xx
Software Environment:samba
Problem Description:bcm43xx driver allows me to use all internet related
resources exept samba. I can list hosts specifically with smbclient -L HOSTNAME,
however it prints:
Sharename Type Comment

Other XP laptops also cannot see the samba server I have running. (wl_apsta.o)
The exact same configuration works with ndiswrapper (bcmwl564.sys). (I can mount
smbfs)
Attempting to force mount complains about network not being able to authenticate
with bcm43xx, so this is definetly a kernel driver problem
Steps to reproduce:install samba, install 2.6.17-rc5 kernel and run samba and
attempt to mount a network share.
Comment 1 b_koepke 2006-06-05 16:16:57 UTC 
Updating samba to unstable build fixed the problem
