As | far as I know, there's no driver for it yet, and Broadcom are not | very responsive when it comes to asking for detailed documentation | to write a driver... Indeed. Broadcom seems very difficult to contact. If you email them, you just get an automated response telling you to use their web form. I filled one in on 2 January, but never heard anything. Maybe it would be better to try snail mail? Or perhaps one of the established FreeBSD developers might have more success? (Or would it even make sense to ask Dell instead?) | > > -----Original Message----- | > > From: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG | > > [mailto:owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Harald | > > Hanche-Olsen | > > Sent: 10 December 2002 15:16 | > > To: freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG | > > Subject: Dell TrueMobile 1180 802.11b | > > | > > | > > My new Dell Inspiron 4150 comes with what Windows describes as a | > > "Dell TrueMobile 1180 Internal 802.11b MiniPCI Card". | > > | > > Here is what pciconf -v -l has to say about it: | > > | > > none2@pci2:3:0: class=0x028000 card=0x04071028 | > > chip=0x430114e4 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 | > > vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' | > > class = network | > > | > > The wi driver does not recognize it. - Harald To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
