I was extremely pleased to see this driver, so I could get off of the
flaky NDIS version.  I have a Dell Vostra 2510 with a LP bwn mini-PCI
card.  I have set if_bwn_load=3D"YES" in /boot/loader.conf.  I also have
bwn_v4_lp_ucode_load=3D"YES" set.

The firmware and driver loads.  However, if_bwn doesn't attach to the
card.  Once the OS is fully booted, I kldunload if_bwn, then reload it,
and the driver attaches just fine.  Once it is attached, however, I can
pass traffic just fine, but I get a large number of these messages on
the console, and the traffic rate is not what it was with the NDIS
driver:

bwn0: out of bounds of the square-root table (-770884)
bwn0: out of bounds of the square-root table (-225625)
bwn0: out of bounds of the square-root table (-240100)

When I boot with verbose mode, I only see the siba driver attach to the
card:

siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless> mem 0xf4000000-0xf4003fff =
irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci6

My pciconf output is:

siba_bwn0@pci0:6:0:0:   class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x000b1028 chip=3D0x431514e=
4 rev=3D0x01 hdr=3D0x00
    vendor     =3D 'Broadcom Corporation'
    device     =3D 'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'
    class      =3D network

When the driver does attach, I see:

bwn0 on siba_bwn0
bwn0: WLAN (chipid 0x4312 rev 15) PHY (analog 6 type 5 rev 1) RADIO (manuf =
0x17f
bwn0: DMA (64 bits)

s 36M

Am I missing anything to get this to attach at boot time?  Thanks.

Joe
