You can easily try it: # kldload if_bwn or # kldload if_bwi and also check the dmesg output. To verify the card, see # pciconf -lv | less for the card to be correctly recognized. But I cannot promise the bwn and bwi drivers are compatible to BCM94306MP... See "man bwn" and "man bwi" for details about hardware support. --=20 Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
