Broadcom Wireless adapter freezes randomly

My Acer Aspire 3000 series's, Broadcom Network Adapter 802.11g's
(BCM4318) driver is 3.100.46.0 as default came with my Acer notebook.
After having freezing problems when browsing the net or downloading
with no chance to reach 192.168.1.1 also, i decided to update to a new
driver also supports 802.11n, but after updating successfully(although
i can browse sites successfully), the Wi-fi LED indicator which is
built on to my notebook went CRAZY!!! It lits randomly and irregularly
after rolling back to old original driver, Wi-fi LED went back to
normal but i want to get rid of this strange freeze problem.

The problem i'm having about freezing: While i'm surfing or
downloading the net smoothly, randomly the data transfer(receive and
sent, bi-directional) stops, no packets are received or sent anymore,
I use Wireless Zero Configuration of XP Home SP2. But the connection
does NOT seem disconnected and no logs in event viewer about this. I'm
on channel 11 with my US Robotics 9108 MaxG router. Also there are
some several wireless networks around my building.

Then after searching for a long time, i'm forced to update to a new
driver, but i'm furious because there's no newer drivers in Acer's
supports site for my wireless adapter, even in Broadcom's site.

The driver which is suited to my adapter but Wi-fi LED went crazy by
flashing irregularly and intermittently:
http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/23...-download.html

What do you think?

Is freezing after connecting or surfing for a while related to router
or drivers of my wi-fi adapter?

NOTE: The only solution is to disable/enable wireless adapter from
''network connections'' or to use ''repair'' option, then the
connection establishes successfully. Also i'm using WPA-PSK with 22
digits.

Thanks for the help.

Regards...

That sounds like a driver bug. I work on the Linux bcm43xx driver, which is a port of Broadcom's
driver. Coding the LED's is not very complicated. You might try other drivers. For example, the
Linksys WPC54G V3 contains a 4318 chip. Getting the driver from their website would give you another
option. The driver is bundled with Linksys's configuration programs, etc. that you will not need,
but the bcmwl5.sys and .inf files should work.

As you can use 'repair' to restart communications, the problem is likely to be with your adapter.
Have you tried changing channels to see if that helps? You didn't tell us which one you are using,
but it is likely channel 6. Change your AP configuration so that it uses either channel 1 or 11, and
see if that helps.

Hi Larry and thank for the quick reply,
I'm on channel 11 both for router and adapter. I couldn't find a newer
and better driver than 3.100.46.0. With this driver the wi-fi LED is
health and connection establishes successfully. But as i mentioned
above, i experience odd freezes i cannot explain. My integrated wi-fi
adapter listed as ''Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter'' in device
manager.

Where can i find the newer and better? As you know Broadcom does not
provide driver support for their integrated wi-fi adapters and Acer(my
notebook) does not have newer on the support site.

Thank you.

I still do not think it is a driver problem. The main change between the 3.xx.yy.x and 4.xx.yy.z
drivers is the firmware.

Your loss of connection could be some interference on channel 11. You need to try channels 1 and 6
to see if they also have the same problem. If not, it was interference. If they do, it could still
be interference, but it might be your hardware.

Do you have a portable phone with a 2.4 GHz carrier? How about any Bluetooth devices? Does the
hangup correspond with the use of your microwave?

Hi Larry, If i try channel 1 and 6, will i be able to use
54mbps(802.11g) ? No Bluetooth device in my home. No microwave owen. I
have Panasonic high-quality (made in japan) cordless phone but it's
just powered on with no use when this freeze happens.

Also, what do you mean that updating drivers make change on firmware?
Firmware changes device inside software as it flashes newer and it can
destroy. I know drivers are different than firmwares, drivers only
talk between OS and device to function properly. Installing a new
driver does not mean that i flash my device's firmware as far as i
know. So?

Thank you.

Some cordless phones scan the spectrum even when not in use. Yes, channels 1 or 6 work equally well
with 802.11g.

The firmware for a BCM43xx chip is _NOT_ in flash memory. It is stored in some sort of RAM, is
embedded within the Windows driver, and is reloaded every time you start the device.

Hi again Larry!,
Thanks for the support so far. I changed channel number from 11 to 6
inside my router (192.168.1.1).

But i think i also have to change some channel settings of my Broadcom
driver from ''device manager'' in Windows.

There are 2 settings in ''advanced'' tab in my Broadcom wi-fi
adapter's driver settings, they are:
IBSS channel number
WZC IBSS channel number, they are set to 11 still. But my router is
changed to 6 and i can surf with these settings.

But do i have to ALSO change the channel numbers to 6 inside drivers
settings and which ones above?

Thank you,

Regards...

I'm not a Windows user any more, but if I recall correctly, one selects the ESSID when choosing a
network. If "i can surf" means that everything works, don't worry about it.

So, is a channel change on router enough? I had freeze problems again
when the channel is set to 6 instead of 11 in the router settings.

Also, do i also have to set the channel set 6 for Broadcom wi-fi
adapter to be sure i'm on channel 6? I don't know how to determine
which channel i'm running wi-fi on.

Additionaly, i found IBSS (independent basic service set) is about
computer-to-computer ''ad hoc'' networks and about 802.11b(not G)
networks. So does it mean there is relationship with my router's wi-fi
operating at 54mbps(802.11g) ?

Thank you.

I do not believe you have any ad-hoc networks set up. If your AP is set on channel 6, believe me
that your adapter is running on channel 6. When the driver wants to connect, it scans all channels
by sending probes on each channel that is legal in your locale to find which ones have AP's that are
active. That is the list that shows up in your Windows configuration. If the adapter were to try to
associate and authenticate on a channel that did not contain an AP, absolutely nothing would happen.

As to the loss of connectivity on channel 6, you could be affected by the same source of
interference that hit channel 11. Please try channel 1. If that also has problems, do a Google
search for sources of wi-fi interference. You may also have hardware problems.

What _exactly_ does "freezing" mean? Does your laptop lock up? Does
the browser lock up? Are you getting error message(s)? If so, what are
they (_exactly_)?

How do you know that? What happens when you click Repair?

When this "freezing" happens, open a Command window; run "IPCONFIG
/ALL"; and post the _exact_ results here.

Why are you forced? Why are you furious?

Hard to say with so little detail, but probably due to interference

If Repair works, then you almost certainly have interference. See the
wikis below for possible sources of interference.

Hi, i came to post and saw your message new.
I can explain the freeze: I connect the net via wireless through my AP
and wireless data transfer freezes, i mean, data transfer and also
ping do not respond.

No error messages, no dialog boxes and no lock up for notebook,
browser and all of applications work. This freeze is only about
wireless. The notebook responds commands clearly but when i have this
strange freeze i cannot ping anywere including my router (AP) ! %100
packet loss occurs.

I usually do ipconfig /all and i saw there is no difference with the
values when freezing occurs or does not. The values are the same of
''ipconfig /all'' when freezing exists or when there is a normal
connection. It doesn't differ. When the freeze occurs, the only system
problem is not to browse, not to download or not to ping any
destination including my AP.

I'm nervous because of Broadcom's driver laziness, there is no
information or explanatory for their chips like BCM4318 including
driver change-logs.(history)

Also event viewer shows nothing as error.

I tried channel 11 and 6 with same freeze problem, haven't tried
channel 1 but i don't have hope neither.

My notebook has Windows XP Home SP2 and i do not know it's a XP
problem,especially SP2's.

Also i have licenced McAfee Enterprise 8 virus software and has the
latest update on it.

When i click ''repair'' button on the taskbar, everything works fine
and connection becomes stable until next freeze.

Thank you for your care.

Regards...

Ping of your wireless access point?
The _exact_ error message is "time out"?

(It really helps if you give _exact_ details -- paraphrasing is a
serious obstacle.)

No error message from ping? If so, then you have a system problem, not
a wireless problem.

So there _is_ an error message?

Is there some good reason you're not posting the _exact_ output,
as I asked?

Turn that off and see if it has any effect on the problem.

Dear John, if you are asking ping results, yes there are %100 packets
loss. That's why my wireless internet connection freezes. When i do
''ping 192.168.1.1'' i receive , error message: ''request timed out''.
That's a very normal message for a not working internet connection as
you know.

I have no grudge about sending details because there are so much
details about that problem, the only solid data for this problem is
''request timed out'' and that error message shows the result. It does
not help for the problem i think.

I also turned McAfee off but i think that didn't help. But i am not
sure its McAfee's behaviour (i stronly don't suppose)

Here are results of ipconfig for a working wireless connection, but as
i mentioned previously, these values are the same if freeze occurs:

Windows IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : acer
Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . :
Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Unknown
IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No

Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-16-CA-2E-F2-88

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 193.140.83.251

Is that all what you want?

To explain better, when the freeze occurs, Internet Explorer opens
fine but cannot open page ''this page cannot be displayed'' as well.

The wi-fi data transfer indicator which is on the Windows taskbar,
stops flashing, because data transfer stops, freezes and never lights
up until i click ''repair'' or ''re-enabling wi-fi adapter'' as i
said.

Sorry, but I can't read your mind, so I don't know what you're thinking
of and what's actually happening when you say things like "freezes" and
"cannot ping". You also said "no error messages" but now you say there
_are_ error messages. This makes it much more difficult to help you.

The "solid data" is what I asked for. You need to let me be the judge
of what I need to know, OK?

Let's just find out, shall we? As Jeff says, "Assumption is the mother
of all screwups."

>Here are results of ipconfig for a working wireless connection, but as

I don't want that. What I want is when it freezes.

>i mentioned previously, these values are the same if freeze occurs:

You're done a binary compare? Or just a quick scan? Why not just post
what I asked for?

Why do you have DHCP turned off?

What I want is that same thing for when it "freezes".

Unfortunately, Microsoft error messages are pretty unhelpful. Let's
just start with ping. Then we can move on to nslookup.

FYI, "freezes" is normally taken to mean the system has locked up and
become unresponsive.

How do you click "re-enabling wi-fi adapter"? Is that just a message,
or is it really something you are clicking?

When the connection "freezes", can you connect to the wireless router
over a wired connection? If so, what does it show for wireless status?
What does it show for Internet status?

Hi again John,
I want to clarify.
By saying freeze: Computer, programs and devices respond normally
except wireless connection. Wireless data connection stops, it dies,
the taskbar wi-fi icon stops flashing as a result of freeze or i can
call this problem ''unresponsive or non-reaction wireless connection''
although it still seems connected. (Duration counter of wi-fi icon
continues)
By saying ''no error messages'' i meant: When freeze happens i
receive no error messages like dialog boxes or connection lost.
Connections seems resuming on the icon of taskbar, but data transfer
is stopped and dead.

By saying ''error messages'' I meant: I receive error messages as a
normal reflection of computer if i do ''ping 192.168.1.1'' resulting
with %100 packet loss, and ''the page cannot be displayed'' for IE
WHEN freeze happens.

the values which i sent about ''ipconfig /all'' are the ''same'' when
freeze happens. Also what do you want from me to send you except
ipconfig /all ? Also i haven't done a binary comparision. How to do?

I haven't disabled DHCP inside my router, i just associated an IP for
my wi-fi adapter, so it seems ''disabled'' due to manual IP
configuration. Does it differ?

I re-enable my wi-fi adapter by going ''network connections'' windows,
right-click to disable, then i right-click again to enable called ''re-
enabling'' wi-fi adapter(Broadcom).
As it helps for freezing, also ''repair'' function helps.

I haven't tried your trick yet, when i try wired connection i post the
result of plugging CAT5 cable when wireless freeze happens.

Thank you for your detailed and close care again...

Regards...

For now I just want the "IPCONFIG /ALL" when it "freezes".

Per IPCONFIG, DHCP _is_ disabled on your wireless adapter. Why???

You left out the Disable part. Please try not to leave stuff out.

OK, i will complete your requests. (ipconfig /all when freeze).

I haven't disabled DHCP for my wi-fi adapter or router. I use a static
IP (manual IP config) and because of this DHCP seems disabled. If i
use ''auto ip assign'' feature, it seems enabled. Additionaly, DHCP
does not effect on my freeze problem. I run OK with these settings if
wireless works stable.

Also i want to ask as off-topic, is there an obligation for setting wi-
fi adapter's IP to 192.168.1.10 or 11? If i turn DHCP on, router
assigns 192.168.1.11, but i can set also 192.168.1.2 or 3 or 4 or ....
11 manually which works without problem. This question was off-topic.
Don't mess up your mind with my freeze problem please...

With my regards...

Thanks again.

Hi with updated news:
I again experienced freeze with wireless, then i did not click
''repair'' button, upon this freeze, i plugged ethernet cable as you
suggested, with wired ethenet connection the internet works very
good.

Then i entered wireless client list of my router, my wi-fi adapter
does NOT seem in the client list! That proves the connection is lost
although the wi-fi taskbar icon shows connected and duration counter
resuming counting seconds.

Here is your requests:
In this screenshot ipconfig /all describes these values when FREEZE
happens:
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1...therneths0.gif


In this screenhot ipconfig /all describes these values when connected
via CAT5 cable which works the internet great.
http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/534...pluggedkt3.gif


Summarized, i tried channels 1,6 or 11 with no luck.

Windows XP SP2 causes this? Connection is lost as wi-fi adapter does
NOT seem in ''wireless client list' when freeze happens. But taskbar
wi-fi icon says still ''connected'' and duration counter resumes ''as
if'' the wireless connection is available...

Thank you.

Thanks.

>I haven't disabled DHCP for my wi-fi adapter or router.

You actually have in the client, perhaps by accident -- as per IPCONFIG:
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No

>I use a static
>IP (manual IP config) and because of this DHCP seems disabled.

It actually _is_ disabled in the wireless client.
Why are you manually assigning the IP address in the client?

I suggest you stop fighting with your wireless router. Start over at
manufacturer defaults; set your wireless client(s) for DHCP; and let the
router do the work.

I'm not surprised. I asked you for the router status screens.

So, what is your sugesstion for solution further? I have no problems
about DHCP or assigning IP to the client.
As you requested, i tried plugging CAT5 cable when wireless freeze
happens, tried channel 1,6,11 with no luck, posted ipconfig /all
results with screenshots when freeze happens or when it's normal.

As i prevously mentioned, wireless clients list does not list my wi-fi
adapter when this freeze happens, when wireless connection is stable,
wireless client list of router shows my adapter normally.
Interestingly, Windows does NOT say i'm disconnected as all of
statistics seems normal although my connection freezes and data
tranfer stops bi-directionally.

Screenshot of what i'm talking about:

Is there a router fault or wireless adapter signal problem? I never
get signal level below than ''good'' and the notebook is 1.5 metres
away from my router in the house.

So what is your conclusion or suggestion further?

Thanks with my regards...
