Greetings!

I got bwn to recognize my wireless card, I think there is still something
missing tho and it's left me scratching my head.

[root@blackdragon ~]# dmesg | grep -e bwn -e wlan0

amd64

I'm not sure what I missed but it won't recognize my AP or try to actually
associate it with ... (I do realize that this may still be broke on amd64 as
was my understanding from my last e-mail about this from the thread
'Broadcom Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'.

If I've missed anything, let me know...
