Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I had the exact |
| 13 |
same problem with the Dell bcm-based adapter in my Inspiron |
| 14 |
laptop. It would work fine for open wireless and |
| 15 |
WEP-secured wireless, but wouldn't associated with a |
| 16 |
WPA-secured access point. |

Eventually I spent about $30 to purchase an iwl3945 |
| 19 |
replacement from Dell, which worked fine, and never looked back. |
