Did you copy the bcmxxx.ko file to /book/kernel/ ?  If you did, make sure you 
have an entry in your /boot/loader.conf: 
bcmxxx_load=YES


I have my bcm driver called 'bcmwl5_sys.ko' and 'bcmwl5_sys_load=YES in 
my /boot/loader.conf.


Hope that helps

  
Yes, mine is bcmwl5a_sys.ko and I have tried to put it in the 
loader.conf. Actually, it is in the loader.conf now. I list it below:


%ls /boot/modules/bcmwl*
/boot/modules/bcmwl5a_sys.ko
%more /boot/loader.conf
nvidia_load=yes
bcmwl5a_sys_load=yes

Does yes differ from YES?

I think YES and yes are interchangeable although YES tends to be used.

whats the output of kldstat?
if it doesnt contain ndis.ko what happens if you
kldload ndis

Damm cant think of anything then, (I did exactly what you are trying
last night, and my full steps we just to download the drivers (was a
broadcom rebadged as belkin) point ndsigen at the appropriate files
(typically the inf wasnt a .inf but a .ntf for some reason) then kldload
ndis followed by kldload the created .ko (after moving it to /boot/modules)

Sorry I cant help more.

broadcom wireless card on FB7 using ndisgen, no ndis0 after kldload

2008-01-30 Thread Kemian Dang

Hi, everyone,

I have a laptop which using the broadcom wireless card.
I download the bcmwl5a.inf/.sys and use ndisgen to generate the .ko 
file, then I kldload it as the doc said.
I can see ndis,if_ndis and bcmwl using kldstat, but there are no ndis0 
when ifconfig.

I have tried add the bcmwl to the /boot/loader.conf, but still no ndis0.
And there no message in the dmesg about the ndis.

Have anyone installed this wireless driver and please give me some 
advice on how to make it work, thanks in advance.


Best wishes,
Kemian
