Connection bitrate show up as 0 kb/s #23

Closed wreckdump closed 2 years ago

wreckdump commented 2 years ago

I am using BCM43228 card, the connection is fine and it works, but the connection bitrate shows up as 0 kb/s. With an Intel card, it worked fine. My setup is like the following

OS : Arch Linux (5.15.12) Network manager : wpa_supplicant Windows manager : i3 WM with i3 status bar

i3status bar queries nl80211 driver output, I think. So, I tried forcing wpa_supplicant to use nl80211 driver, but nothing changed (network connection works, but still 0 kb/s for the bitrate). Even with wext driver option, the results were same.

@wreckdump there won't be any feature or bug fix implemented in this repository. The code is the property of Broadcom and I simply apply patches that make it work on recent versions of the Linux kernel.

With that being said, I see your card is a BCM43228. Wouldn't the b43 driver be more suitable for that chip?

Ahh! I was under the impression that broadcom-wl would work fine. I'll try b34.Thanks!
