I have a mid-2012 15=E2=80=9D Retina MacbookPro10,1. I=E2=80=99ve been =
mostly successful getting FreeBSD to run on it (I=E2=80=99ll do a blog =
post on that later), but haven=E2=80=99t had any luck with the built-in =
wireless:
none4@pci0:4:0:0: class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x00ef106b =
chip=3D0x433114e4 rev=3D0x02 hdr=3D0x00
vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation'
device =3D 'BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n'
class =3D network
Some googling led me to believe that although this chip isn=E2=80=99t =
supported by bwn(4), it ought to work with ndis(4). However, I haven=E2=80=
=99t had any success. Modules I load based on bcmwl664.sys (I=E2=80=99ve =
found and tried several different versions) just complain that there is =
=E2=80=9Cno match for=E2=80=9D a bunch of function names and then I get =
=E2=80=9CNDIS dummy called=E2=80=A6=E2=80=9D.
Modules I load based on bcmwl564.sys seem to identify the card, but then =
I get =E2=80=9Cdriver attach returned 12=E2=80=9D and no usable =
interface.
Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to a specific Windows driver that =
works with NDIS?
Thanks,
John Nielsen
