Hello,

I have updated an older Acer Aspire One laptop to a recent CURRENT r300951.
Should the BCM4312 now working? It says in dmesg:

$ dmesg | fgrep bwn0
siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless> mem 0x57100000-0x57103fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1
bwn0 on siba_bwn0
bwn0: WLAN (chipid 0x4312 rev 15) PHY (analog 6 type 5 rev 1) RADIO (manuf 0x17f ver 0x2062 rev 2)
bwn0: DMA (64 bits)
bwn0: Using 1 MSI messages

$ ifconfig wlan0
wlan0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 90:4c:e5:00:06:ce
	nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
	status: no carrier
	ssid "" channel 1 (2412 MHz 11b)
	regdomain FCC country US authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpower 30 bmiss 7
	scanvalid 60 wme bintval 0
	groups: wlan 

in /etc/rc.conf I have:

wlans_bwn0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"

Do I miss anything? Thanks

	matthias
