Subject: Linksys WMP11, ca. 2003.
I'm trying to coerce a new Linksys WMP11 802.11b card into working on a
FreeBSD install of 4.7-RELEASE. In looking through the freebsd-mobile
lists I've seen some discussion on this (from around this time last
year), but all of the resources included in that discussion
(particularly the patches to the wi driver) are out of sync with the
kernel sources I've got. I just cvsup'd 4.x-STABLE and -current and
didn't manage to find either the vendor ID or device ID reported in
dmesg in the driver code there. I was wondering if anyone out there
could give me an update on support for this wireless card? The posts
from freebsd-mobile
(http://www.riverside.org/archive/html/freebsd-mobile/2002-02/msg00038.html)
that were most promising mentioned commiting the patches to -current,
but I don't see any evidence of that in my kernel sources.
To top off my confusion when I boot I'm getting different dev/vendor
id's from the card than are mentioned in the post referenced above.
Here's my dmesg output:
pcib0: Intel 82845 Host to PCI bridge on motherboard
pci0: PCI bus on pcib0
pcib1: Intel 82845 PCI-PCI (AGP) bridge at device 1.0 on pci0
pci1: PCI bus on pcib1
pci1: NVidia Riva Ultra Vanta TNT2 graphics accelerator at 0.0 irq 11
pcib2: Intel 82801BA/BAM (ICH2) Hub to PCI bridge at device 30.0 on pci0
pci3: PCI bus on pcib2
pci3: unknown card (vendor=0x14e4, dev=0x4301) at 2.0 irq 11
xl0: 3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL port 0xac00-0xac7f mem
0xdfefdf80-0xdfefdfff irq 10
at device 5.0 on pci3
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:03:de:12:db
miibus0: MII bus on xl0
ukphy0: Generic IEEE 802.3u media interface on miibus0
ukphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
The linksys WMP11 is listed as pci3. Note that the vendor/dev ids are
different from those listed in the patch posted by Thomas Skibo
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to freebsd-mobile (as referenced above) which shows
the device as:
+ {0x1260, 0x3873, WI_BUS_PCI_NATIVE, Linksys WMP11 PCI Prism2.5},
So, the qeustion is, can I make this (actually these 10) cards work with
FreeBSD? Any help or pointers on this would be greatly appreciated.

Looking up your PCI IDs (http://www.yourvote.com/pci), I see that the
unknown device on pci3 is really a Broadcom IEEE 802.11b WLAN client
chipset.
Not sure which device driver should be extended to support this chipset.
