Re: 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'

[Dmitry Krivenok]

I have the following card:

siba_b...@pci0:12:0:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x000c1028 chip=0x431514e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
  vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
  device = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
  class  = network

And it doesn't work with bwn driver (perhaps that's a configuration
issue though) on 8.1.

My Hiccup as the subject suggests is about my Wireless Card.
I have been following the handbook (
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/config-network-setup.html) on how to use
64-bit Windows drivers coupled w/ ndisgen to get my wireless card working. I
got ndisgen to generate a kernel module but it immediately caused my laptop
to reboot when the kernel was loaded. This left me scratching my head. I
think I might need firmware (I remember having to extract firmware from the
driver for linux).

pciconf shows the following:

[root at BlackDragon [~]# pciconf -lv | grep -A3 0x4315
none8 at pci0:8:0:0:       class=0x028000 card=0x137c103c chip=0x431514e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
    class      = network
[root at BlackDragon [~]#

The laptop is an HP dv2845SE and it's running FreebSD64-8.1. Let me know if
I missed anything.

 I'm assuming that by FreebSD64, you mean the amd64 version of
 FreeBSD.  Have you tried using a recent version of the native bwn(4)
 driver, together with the net/bwn-firmware-kmod port, rather than
 ndis(4)?

Problem with bwn and firmware (bwn0: the fw file(bwn_v4_lp_ucode15) not found)

[Dmitry Krivenok]

Hello!

I have the following wi-fi card on my Dell Latitude E6400:

siba_b...@pci0:12:0:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x000c1028 chip=0x431514e4
rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
   vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
   device = 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
   class  = network

Grepping for 0x4315 I found that my card is supported by bwn driver:

r...@olimpico-freebsd 22:08:00 ~ # [0] grep -r 4315 /usr/src/sys/dev/
| grep -i bcm
/usr/src/sys/dev/siba/siba_bwn.c:   { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4315,
Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless },
r...@olimpico-freebsd 22:08:01 ~ # [0 0]

I have recompiled my kernel (slightly modified 8.1 kernel) with the
following options set:
  device siba_bwn
  device bwn
  device wlan
  device wlan_amrr
  device firmware

Then I installed bwn-firmware-kmod port and now I have the following
modules loaded:

r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:57:25 ~ # [0] kldstat
Id Refs AddressSize Name
 19 0xc040 7bde40   kernel
 21 0xc0bbe000 37248if_bwn.ko
 31 0xc0bf6000 2b770bwn_v4_ucode.ko
 41 0xc0c22000 2cb24bwn_v4_lp_ucode.ko
r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:57:27 ~ # [0]

These modules were created during bwn-firmware-kmod build using
firmware extracted
from broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2 by means of b43-fwcutter tool.

I also noticed that bwn0 interface was created:

r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:57:37 ~ # [0] ifconfig bwn0
bwn0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 2290
   ether 90:4c:e5:21:44:ec
   media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
   status: no carrier
r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:57:44 ~ # [0]

My problem, however, is that when I run

r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:59:45 ~ # [0] ifconfig wlan create wlandev
bwn0 ssid olimpico wepmode on wepkey 0120119850 weptxkey 1 up
wlan0
r...@olimpico-freebsd 21:59:54 ~ # [0]

I see the following in dmesg output:

wlan0: Ethernet address: 90:4c:e5:21:44:ec
bwn_v4_lp_ucode15: firmware image loaded, but did not register
bwn0: the fw file(bwn_v4_lp_ucode15) not found
bwn-open_v4_lp_ucode15: could not load firmware image, error 2
bwn0: the fw file(bwn-open_v4_lp_ucode15) not found

Am I missing something important?

Thanks!
