Hello Camaleón,
I did not see anything unusual in the provided 'ps -A' output.
I want to find out what the result of a scan is, specifically the RSSI.
In that way I can judge if this is a signal reception problem.
Can you do the following:
- unload brcmsmac driver (or simply don't load it)
- 'sudo service network-manager stop'
.. this gets network-manager out of the way, perhaps it is related to
the 'resource/device busy' message
- load driver
- 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up'
- 'sudo iw wlan0 scan'
Thanks, Roland.
