Thanks so much! This is great news!
After ‘install-wifi-firmwares.sh’ and selecting preferences>network> should 2 drivers or apparatus show ie one for wired & one for wirelees/wifi???
I find only one which may be for my ‘wired’ connection.
After running ‘install-wifi-firmwares.sh’ I now get the terminal saying ‘Compiling b43-fwcutter for installing Broadcom’s firmware…’
but nothing happens!
@ plumtreed:
Use this link, see if one of the two Broadcom drivers is for your card and follow the instructions. Make sure you copy the folders/drivers to the correct locations. Hope this helps.
Thanks, Anyedge, but I can’t see a link…

I apologize about that! I copied the link, but forgot to paste. Try now.
Thanks for the tip but I have BCM4312, device 4315. I do get wired so that is something!
I can confirm, that after disabling the wired net, the wifi 2200 indeed does work (previously locked the machine). IBM Thinkpad X31, wifi upgraded from 2100 to 2200.
Has anything regressed in the last few nightly builds (latest I tried was 6th August)? Whenever I run setwep, I get errors: something like SIOCS80211 error (from memory). I used:
setwep /dev/net/atheroswifi/0 myssid 0xMy26ByteHexWEPpassword
(obviously with the correct ssid and password 
I am on an eeepc701 4G - previously no problems. I don’t really want to go back to alpha2, as the nightly versions have fixed lots of bugs
I don’t know about wireless, m’Lord, but since Axel committed most to his work to the trunk a week back or so, networking is quite broken for me. Using static IP instead of DHCP worked for me once but then no more…
I’m back to r37437 or thereabouts.

Good call Humdinger! Went back to 37437 and it all works again I found the 15 July WebPositive version works wih this version, so I now have wireless and web (bezilla is just too slow…).
Still looking around for software that is compatible, but thats another story Its great to be back in the BeOS/haiku world again…
Cheers
Yeah, the Haiku world is currently a bit in termoil, if you like to try out new stuff. You have the locale stuff moving under you, requireing sometimes updated apps. Axel’s networking may force you to downgrade again to get online, which in turn may revert some locale changes… Best to hold on to an older working revision until everything has settled down some more.

Does Axel’s wireless stuff have a GUI yet?
no
Not only is the thread you’re replying to ancient, your information is incorrect.
There is a GUI for selecting networks and entering passwords now.
I’ve tested recent builds on two different eeepcs. When attempting to connect to any encrypted network, wpa_supplicant crashes. anyone else have this problem?
Yes but I havn’t tested it any more than that 
myob said: …the thread you’re replying is to ancient…
…ähmm yes thats the point…
thats what I mean… not only the thread is an old problem…
– where do I find the GUI? where to enter the passwords…do you have screenshoots?
thx for your attention
I’ve just updated the Haiku nightly on my EeePC 901 from r42804 to hrev43592.
Whereas wifi (WPA2) worked perfectly on the earlier nightly, I can’t get a wifi connection at all in 43592 as wpa_supplicant keeps crashing just as kvdman described.
Any update on this problem?
I’ve opened a ticket: https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8268
Just to confirm your earlier observation, I installed nightly r43152 on the same EeePC 901 and now wpa_supplicant works perfectly.
So, somewhere between r43152 and r43592 wpa_supplicant appears to have become unusable on this machine.
