However, following the handbook, I turned off enable security (on the 2wire router) to test things, hence, using wep (not as authmode shared or authmode open) and it works using the following in /etc/rc.conf: wlans_ath0=wlan0 ifconfig_wlan0=ssid Mynetname DHCP Mynetname is different -- of course. I can browse the web and ping with 0% packet loss. I have not delved into using a /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf yet, I was hoping i could get it done in rc.conf with ifconfig.

Any help appreciated, I can provide further info and things I've tried -- most things in the handbook wireless section, minus wpa_supplicant.conf. Should adding nwkey key to ifconfig_wlan0 line above be enough? Key may be in ascii or in hex (in which case it must start with 0x).

The only problem is that my builtin wireless is a bcm432b which is PITA to make work in any non-propietary system.I know for other bcm43xx cards there is the bwi driver, but mine isn't supported. I've tried tried - Ndisgen on bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl564.sys - Ndisgen on bcmwl6.inf and bcmwl664.sys - ndiscvt bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl564.sys to ndis_data_header.h and compiling ndis.ko Here's what I noted - bcmwl564_sys.ko creates an ndis0 interface which seems to work except it doesn't communicate with the router - also, when loaded from loader.conf somewhere in the boot sequence the computer reboots - bcmwl664_sys.kp does nothing - The new ndis.ko also does nothing This is not my first attempt at FreeBSD on my macbook. The last time the major stumbling block was the gpt and sysinstall. Now the big problem for me is the wireless because I keep the router in another room. As extra info, in Debian Lenny broadcom's wl driver works but iwconfig will NOT work. In Ubunu 10.04 broadcom's wl works too but iwconfig won't work and it's very slow. I'd rather waste space on a networkless BSD. So if not i'll erase the partition, install linux(debian), and try FreeBSD in a year or two. Give more useful info, like AP setup.

This problem exists whether KDE is running or not. The cdcontrol player will open and close the door on the device; however, no sound is emitted.

Any hint?
You got any output from wpa_supplicant and console?
You could check this NDISulator code:
http;//gitorious.org/NDISulator
I did some work on new state switching on net80211 layer, so if
connection get lost for any reason it will try to reassociate (code on
HEAD fails badly in this scenario almost always).
I also did support for wep and wpa(2) via bsd driver (you can still
use ndis driver - I'm talking about wpa_supplicant _drivers_) but I
did not tested it much.
You should also run ndis_events(8) so that events from ndis driver are
passed to wpa_supplicant(8).
What version of driver are you using? Newest ones (=5.1 API) I tested
exibit at least one bug in NDISuator which I did not resolved yet.

Currently you can not pick only intel agp code, agp module have support for other vendors too. I made patch but it was never committed because it saves only few bytes of running kernel memory and thats all. Because bunch of new agp* modules are created it increase kernel size on disk, if you build all agp modules.

When it fails it doesn't recognize this device, and even ? doesn't list it as one of the available devices. If we reboot, it's likely the problem won't occur again.

I'm not sure what you mean by UTF-8 support. FreeBSD itself does reasonably well, and the quality of third-party ports varies. I would be glad if the responsible packagers or anyone else was willing to engage in this. At least I will have to think about my engagement in terms of community support for precious issues like this one. It's unclear what you mean by this.

Just for YT I don't need Flash. That's true. I love youtube-dl too, as it helps me keep a local .flv copy, even for videos that have been removed for one reason or another. However, there are other video sites like dailymotion. What downloader do you use for these? clive, and it can pass url directly to mplayer, so it works with lynx and elinks too. (vlc and xine should also work ...) clive also allow to pick quality of video. And remember, youtube-dl is a hack. It can break anytime YT changes its embedding. I wished YouTube would switch to HTML5, or at least added this as an option. The need, to illustrate that, is often nothing more than a useless barrier built by people who don't seem to know better. As I said before, most things that Flash can do could be achieved with standardized (!) and free means. And often, Flash is (ab)used to do idiotic things like simply providing animated buttons. I've talked with the IT department of a company recently who had to switch from perfectly usable barrier-less HTML to Flash. Actually, the IT guys didn't want to, but their management was adamant. The main reason wasn't buttons or little animations, but something much more mundane: the graphics design company they hired to create their new corporate identity insisted that the only way to get a 100% pixel-precise layout was with Flash... and management fell for it. Basically, they wanted to duplicate their glossy brochures 1:1, and didn't care about reduced usability and accessibility. Incredibly silly move, but their company, their decision. With the upcoming HTML 5 standard, there's even a chance that Flash will be ignored by the rest of the world sooner or later. HTML 5 isn't the problem, that will be easy to implement. It's about picking the right video codec. There's no high quality codec available that is both ubiquitous in hardware, and unencumbered by patents.

I successfully compiled the Windows XP driver with ndisgen(8). The driver loads and the device is there. On the FreeBSD EeePC wiki it says it's a 8191 chip, but when I look at the driver download from Asus and dmesg it's reported as 8192. The driver seems to work at least in some way since I'm able to scan for networks and get a list. But I cannot connect to a WPA2 network. Association with the network always fails in wpa_supplicant(8). Maybe there is some kind of timeout, I could send you small patch to test it.

The Expresscard shows up as a PCI device and works fine, How are you using NDIS and when system panic what is displayed? I tried to use ndisgen with the internal Dell 1397 card. I don't have details available right now, although if you need them I can try it again. When I did the kldload the system spit out error messages about unknown symbols and then panic-ed. I did some searching of the archives and found a message describing the same symptoms, and the response posted was that it indicated that the Windows driver made API calls that were not implemented in the NDIS wrapper. This was a 64-bit Windows driver and an amd64 FreeBSD system. Similar results in both FreeBSD 7.2 and 8.0. It appears that kern/132672 is describing the same or a very similar issue. It also suggests that there is a more fundamental problem than the unrecognized symbols. I can try to reproduce the problem tonight if you want me to. Thanks, If you have debug kernel, then make breakpoint for MSCALL2 (kldload ndis.ko before that): `break MSCALL2' Should be `break w86_64_call2' Then load ndisgen module. Then single step it with `s' it should panic after few steps. At least this is issue I'm experiencing on amd64, it fails in DriverEntry(). with the same virtual address as in kern/132672. I fixed bug that caused panic on amd64 in DriverEntry().
