Re: NetworkManager CVS detects bcm43xx as wired

["Steven Cote" <steven cote gmail com>]

I'm having the same problem. I'm using NetworkManager 0.6.2-2.fc5 and
the bcm43xx driver from kernel 2.6.16-1.2111_FC5.

It does say that it is a wireless card, here's the relevenat output that I get:

Given that, do we know why it might be coming up as a wired card? I
had the previous version of NetworkManager installed and it worked
fine. Also, it will work now if I turn all encryption off on my
wireless network. I'm not sure if that information helps, but there it
is.

If there's any other information you'd like me get for you, I'd be
glad to do it. I'd love to see this bug fixed.
