Re: Broadcom wireless not working in statler 2011-12

It's working guys, now how can I do this automatically?

After restart, nm-applet says that the "device is not managed"

Re: Broadcom wireless not working in statler 2011-12

What modules are loaded?

You can try to get it working with network-manager, but it may be impossible.
With the setup you are using now, wlan1 will be brought up automatically on reboot, if you
disable network-manager:
sudo update-rc.d network-manager disable.
In that case, dont start nm-applet from openbox autostart, since its useless without nm.

Re: Broadcom wireless not working in statler 2011-12

To re-enable network-manager and nm-applet:

sudo ifdown wlan1
sudo invoke-rc.d network-manager enable

edit /etc/network/interfaces, comment out wlan1
edit ob autostart to start nm-applet
reboot
configure your wireless with nm-applet.
