X-Operation-Sytem: FreeBSD Cc: Attilio Rao , Aditya Sarawgi , Gonzalo Nemmi , Andrea Di Pasquale Subject: Call for Test and Review: bwn(4) - another Broadcom Wireless driver X-BeenThere: freebsd-current@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: Weongyo Jeong List-Id: Discussions about the use of FreeBSD-current List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 23 Dec 2009 03:53:37 -0000 Hello, Now bwn(4) is available at the public and waiting test and review. The status of this driver is *alpha* so could make panics, warnings and errors. Please let me know if you encounter problems. The following NICs all I have are only tested on the little endian 64bit machine and big endian 32bit machine. - Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless - Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless I tested basic RX, TX and WPA association as STA mode and checked it worked. As you might know there are still a lot of TODO in the driver so you could see some verbose messages during testing so please ignore or let me know it makes problems. == How to build and load == # cd /usr/src/sys # fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~weongyo/bwn_20091222.tar.gz # tar xzf bwn_20091222.tar.gz # cd modules/ssb # make && make install # cd ../.. # cd modules/bwn # make && make install # cd somewhere # fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~weongyo/bwn_ports_20091222.tar.gz # tar xzf bwn_ports_20091222.tar.gz # cd sysutils/b43-fwcutter # make install clean # cd ../.. # cd net/bwn-firmware-kmod # make install clean # # kldload ssb # kldload bwn_v4_ucode # kldload if_bwn regards, Weongyo Jeong
