Re: Any way to get the NDISulator working on 11.0-RELEASE?

[Kiernan Hager]

Update: I just realized I forgot to say this:
When I tried to load the generated module in 11.0, it panicked with
IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL
If it would help, I could probably get a core dump file within a couple days

What is this code I found in bwn?

[Kiernan Hager]

In gnu/dev/bwn/phy_n/if_bwn_phy_n_tables.c, i found this code lurking:

/* Auto increment broken + caching issue on BCM43224? */
if (siba_get_chipid(sc->sc_dev) == 43224 && 
siba_get_revid(sc->sc_dev) == 1) {
BWN_PHY_READ(mac, BWN_NPHY_TABLE_DATALO);
BWN_PHY_WRITE(mac, BWN_NPHY_TABLE_ADDR, offset + i);
}

Does this mean that there is some level of support for the BCM43224 in
the bwn driver? Or is it just something for identification?

Any way to get the NDISulator working on 11.0-RELEASE?

[Kiernan Hager]

I am the not-so-proud owner of a BCM43224 wireless card, which is in my
MacBook and, I am told, not easily replaced due to it having an odd shape.
I am currently using 10.3. I tried to compile it myself from the github
repository, but it gave me an error (I can't remember what it was). Does
anyone know if there is a way to make NDISulator or the built-in version to
work on 11.0?

Advice for writing wireless drivers?

[Kiernan Hager]

I was thinking of trying to port (some of) brcmsmac to FreeBSD in order to
support BCM43224, but I then realized that I don't know very much about
Linux wireless drivers. Does anyone know if there is a good resource
explaining the major differences between FreeBSD and Linux device drivers?
