Hi All! I'm using { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4320,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless Lan"} network card. I have a little problem with bwi wireless driver at FreeBSD 8.0 RC2 (the same problem was at RC1 too). It doesn't worK for me: According to man bwi instructions, I have added if_bwi_load="YES" into /boot/defaults/loader.conf, and install /usr/ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod port. Next, i have ran pciconf -lvcb to check hardware, and found the following output: none4_at_pci0:1:4:0: class=0x028000 card=0x12f8103c chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = '802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller (BCM4309)' class = network bar [10] = type Memory, range 32, base 0xff7fc000, size 8192, enabled So, the hardware is recognized by system. Next, I have tried to find new bwi interface at ifconfig, but it wasn't appeared there. The results of kldload if_bwi were very strange: can't load if_bwi: No such file or directory Finally, there is no the appropriate file at /boot/kernel. So.. I suppose I need to use another method from man and compile this driver into kernel. But there is very clear information at man bwi instructions: " Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): if_bwi_load="YES" And it doesn't work. Is it a some kind of bug, or mistake in documentation? Thanks in advance. Sincerely yours, Dmitriy A LebedevReceived on Sat Oct 31 2009 - 20:25:40 UTC
