wireless connection help

[toysoldier]

Hi,

I just recently purchased a computer with linux and am having trouble connecting via wireless. i have tried to connect to two networks and it connects immediately but cannot the next day.

ifconfig shows this

have you tried "dhclient eth1"?

First, read through this sticky, linked below, and post the info that it asks for:
http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/wir...tart-here.html

This is the wireless:

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller [14e4:4315] (rev 01)

It is a little confusing to me. The card calls itself a 4310, yet the ID says 4315. Which one is it? More info on the driver for this can be found here:
b43 - Linux Wireless

My initial impression is that your wireless may not yet be supported. But I will hold off on that until you provide all the info that I asked for. I particularly want the distro and kernel version that you are using. Also, the firmware messages would be needed.
