Hello, freebsd-questions.

I have Acer Extensa 5220 laptop with broadcom wifi inside:
card=0x04221468 chip=0x431114e4

I tried to compile NDIS driver for it, unsuccessfuly :(
Drivers' versions was 4.100.15.5 from Acer and 4.150.22.0 from
Broadcom. ndisgen fails to compile kernel module saying:

In file included from /usr/share/misc/windrv_stub.c:57:
./windrv.h:1831: error: excess elements in char array initializer
./windrv.h:1831: error: (near initialization for 'ndis_regvals[590].nc_val')
./windrv.h:1832: warning: braces around scalar initializer
./windrv.h:1832: warning: (near initialization for 'ndis_regvals[590].nc_val[0]')
./windrv.h:1832: warning: initialization makes integer from pointer without a cast
./windrv.h:1832: error: initializer element is not computable at load time

./windrv.h:1832: error: excess elements in struct initializer
./windrv.h:1832: error: (near initialization for 'ndis_regvals[590].nc_val')

and so on (about 2000 lines). Complete error message can be found on http://pastebin.com/f55202bbb

Have anyone managed to get this wireless card working and what drivers
should be used for it?
