PCI WiFi card problem

Funny coincidence here, apparently Linksys has a Linux driver for these in their base stations, but aren't releasing the source and therefore in violation of the GPL. Not suprisingly the slashdot mob is yelling at them to release the source. But no, there is no driver in FreeBSD as of yet. Greetings: I just bought a card with the 'BCM4301 802.11b IEEE 802.11b WLAN client chipset. Has there been any advances in support for this card? Simon or Doug, have you had any luck with it? thanks, Brian ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

To be honest I actually now have an Atheros based 802.11a/b/g mini pci card installed instead. But the Broadcom one can be used nowadays using the NDIS emulation layer which was introduced after FreeBSD 5.2.1 (think people have got it working on that though). That basically allows use of windows network drivers under freebsd, search for Project Evil ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

These types of cards are supported by the ndis driver in 5.x, which provides emulation for Windows netowrk device drivers.
