Dear Sir/Madam
To make the 32-bit driver for Broadcom WiFi LAN for my new Compaq
Presario C713TU Notebook PC, first I made the 32-bit kernel for
OpenSolaris SXDE build 72 by editing the /boot/grub/mnu.lst as under:
(# commented lines)
#----------ADDED BY ALOK - DO NOT EDIT-----------
title Solaris Express Developer Edition snv_72 32 bits
kernel$ /platform/i86pc/kernel/unix
module$ /platform/i86pc/boot_archive
#---------------------END ALOK-------------------
This showed me a boot option on reboot, to enter into the 32-bit kernel.
I booted into the 32-bit SXDE build 72 kernel and issued the following
command in the terminal.
# /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v

I think from the above output of the result of /usr/X11/bin/scanpci -v,
I was correct in determining my WLAN PCI ID as 14e4,4311 for Broadcom
WLAN by seeing this:
_*pci bus 0x0001 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x14e4 device 0x4311
Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-PCI Card
CardVendor 0x103c card 0x1375 (Hewlett-Packard Company, Card unknown)

Then I extracted the ndis-1.1.tar.gz toolkit to /ndis
and from the ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp36501-37000/sp36542.exe
which I downloaded for Microsoft Windows Vista OS WLAN driver for my
NoteBook, I extracted the bcmwl6.inf and bcmwl6.sys files and copied
them to /ndis/ndis-1.1/i386 by issuing the following commands:
# cd /wlandriv/
# ls
bcmwl6.inf bcmwl6.sys
# iconv --f utf-16 --t ascii bcmwl6.inf > ndis.inf
# mv bcmwl6.sys ndis.sys
# cp ndis.inf /ndis-1.1/i386
# cp ndis.sys /ndis-1.1/i386
then I issued the following commands:
# cd /ndis/ndis-1.1/i386
# pwd
/ndis/ndis-1.1/i386
# ls

I then repeated the same steps for
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp31001-31500/sp31463.exe which was
recommended in the opensolaris wireless networking community at
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/ndis/, after issuing
# rem_drv bcmndis
and deleting the file /kernel/drv/bcmndis & /kernel/misc/ndisapi and
files from /ndis/ndis-1.1/i386/ directory except the "Makefile" file
but this attempt also failed. Kindly provide me a resolution. Where I
went wrong. Please help.....
Thanking in anticipation.
