 Hello,

 I've updated one of my laptops to /head r250588; the laptop has a Wifi
 chips which was not supported and I have had to use NDIS and the
 generated kmod bcmwl5_sys.ko; before compiling it again now, I wanted to
 ask if the chip is now supported in /head; if I load if_bwn.ko it says:

 # kldload if_bwn
 siba_bwn0: Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless mem 0x5710-0x57103fff 
 irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1

 and hard locks the laptop.

 Any ideas? Thanks

What is/was the state of this? Has it worked once and only needs now
debugging and/or updating?

Thx

I'm not sure. Maybe? I've not really dug deep into bwn at all.

Sorry,

I'm struggling with the same chip, NDIS works for me so far. So if there is
any effort to make it work with if_bwn I'm happy to help, testing/debugging
etc. I'm not really familiar with wifi standards though.

Thanks for your offer.

But what we really need is a maintainer who isn't afraid to hack on code. :-(
