cannot find windows driver for nic, please help
Greetings Bill, I own a linksys WMP11 with the following chipset. vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4301 802.11b IEEE 802.11b WLAN client chipset' class= network I am trying to get it working in freebsd 5.2.1, so i figured I could just goto the linksys website and download the windows driver. http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33scid=36prid=196 the problem is the driver contains the bcmwl5.sys file, but it does not contain the bcmwl5.ini file. Could you guide me to a place I could find the ini file that goes with the driver? Thanks for your help and thanks for writing this software.
