Hello Folks,

I'm having trouble getting my Dell D610 to recognize my Broadcom/Dell 
miniPCI b/g wireless card.

What I've done so far is as follows:

1) I copied the drivers that windows was using successfully from my 
windows slice to my freebsd slice.
2) I made sure that the .inf file was ascii, after that I generated 
bcmwl5_sys.ko with ndisgen.
3) I loaded the module generated, it loaded successfully.

At this point I expected to see a ndis0 device popup, however sadly this 
wasn't the case.

Running after running pciconf -lv I think I've successfully identified 
the miniPCI card as PCI:3:3:0 and the driver appears to see it, however 
that's it.

Below is the snippit of my system log after attaching the driver. Below 
that is the pciconf -lv output

Any advice would is welcome.  If I can get the wireless card working and 
resolve an ACPI video issue I have, I will have just about everything 
that I'm interested in, fully functional.

Thank you
