Apologies for the simple question. I have searched for hours and read
a lot of confusing documentation, but I'm afraid I still need help
with this.
I am adding a Broadcom 4319 Min-PCI wireless card to my ALIX 2D3 board.
voyage:~# dmesg | grep -i broadcom
b43-phy0: Broadcom 4318 WLAN found
Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PMLR, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
Can someone point to the proper directions for configuration?
Requirements:
1) This device needs to be an open Access Point, no encryption.
2) wlan0, eth1, eth2 should be configured as a bridge.
3) eth0 is already configured as the WAN uplink.
I did "ifconfig wlan0 up" followed by "iwconfig wlan essid OpenWifi"
but it doesn't appear to be sending any signal (signal level 0).
voyage:~# iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11 ESSID:"OpenWifi"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Tx-Power=20 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr=2352 B
Encryption key:off
Link Quality:0 Signal level:0 Noise level:0
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
Thanks,
