Comment 4 for bug 200696

Ok, here are the observations with b43 driver

b43 loads and sees access points. But the number of access points seen with b43 are much less than ndiswrapper.

ex: with ndiswrapper, i can see 10 APs but with b43 I can see only my own, just one.

However, no IP can be obtained on wlan0. I did not go through the steps I mentioned above to get an IP.

When I unload b43 and do the above steps, I see all APs and can get IP by following above procedure.

Hence I guess the problem is not with the wlan driver but the DHCP.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Thanks,
Kalyan
