Hi,
I've some broadcom wireless cards to test here (two BCM4318 and a
BCM4312). This week I tried the BCM4318 one (the 4312 is on a netbook,
I'll try it later, if the 4318 works some day).
First of all, I was able to use it with ndisgen on FreeBSD 7.1, but
since the 7.2, it doesn't work anymore. So, two day ago I installed a
8.1-RC1 and tried bwi(4), but a `ifconfig wlan0 scan` wasn't detecting
anything.
So I gave bwn(4) a try, and it detect perfectly my network, but I just
can't connect to it, neither with dhclient nor with a static IP.
Here's what I do to try to connect:
# kldload if_bwn
# kldload bwn_v4_ucode
# ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0
# ifconfig wlan0 up
# ifconfig wlan0 ssid myssid channel 6 wepmode on wepkey mywepkey
# ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500
ether 00:11:50:d0:2f:6f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps mode 11b
status: associated
ssid myssid channel 6 (2437 MHz 11b) bssid 00:60:b3:7a:5c:29
country US authmode OPEN privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF wepkey 1:40-bit
txpower 30 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250
roam:rssi 7 roam:rate 1 wme
# ifconfig bwn0
bwn0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 2290
ether 00:11:50:d0:2f:6f
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11b
status: associated
Then, for the static IP:
# ifconfig wlan0 inet 192.168.1.30 netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default 192.168.1.1
# arp -a
? (192.168.1.30) at 00:11:50:d0:2f:6f on wlan0 permanent [ethernet]
And I can't ping anything (except localhost and 192.168.1.30)
Or, with dhcp:
# dhclient wlan0
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 14
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 8
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 21
DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 2
No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.
Here's what pciconf -lv tells me about my card:
siba_bwn0@pci0:2:2:0: class=0x028000 card=0x70011799 chip=0x431814e4
rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'Broadcom 802.11b/g (BCM4318)'
class = network
And a dmesg | egrep "(bwn|wlan)":
siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless> mem 0xfdefc000-0xfdefdfff irq 22 at device 2.0 on pci2

bwn0: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0)
bwn0: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0)
bwn0: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0)
Also, when I start tcpdump on wlan0, and try to ping this computer from
another one, I see all the ping requests and responses on FreeBSD, but
the other computer don't get any response.
Does anyone knows what to do now ?

Quentin Stievenart.
