Good to know ! I=B4ll install FreeBSD 8.0 tomorrow and give your driver a go and as soon as I have something, I=B4ll report back to you :) >> Should I try your module instead of bwi(4)? > > No. =A0ssb driver is a kind of bus driver that it's not a wireless driver > so can not use. =A0But I'm working on new driver (aka bwn(4)) for > replacing bwi(4) that it uses v4 firmware (latest firmware) and supports > more H/Ws. =A0It's almost done that it works to associate with AP and > pings for RX/TX but not public yet. =A0When it's available let you know > for testing. :-) That=B4s even better than I expected because bwi(4) simply doesn=B4t support my hardware! So what shoudl I do? Load it alonside bwi(4)? Just load it and see what I get on /var/log/messages and dmesg and report b= ack? And since you are writing a new driver, can I help to make it work with ACPI from the get go? >> >> And just in case you find it usefull, in ssb_pci.c, { >> PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4315, "Unknown" }, is actually =A0a 'Broadcom >> Wireless b/g (BCM4315/BCM22062000)'.
