BTW I used now the newer driver 3.120.27 (R102320) Needed to convert the .inf file from unicode, since I got the international driver, where this file is in unicode. Assume you use the us driver. Implementation of wlan is a bit different in US and Europe. So I choosed the German driver suitable for my countries frequencies and standards. > 10) Add the following 3 lines to /boot/loader.conf: > ndis_load="YES" > if_ndis_load="YES" > bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" > 11) Add the following 2 lines to /etc/rc.conf: > network_interfaces="ndis0" > ifconfig_ndis0="DHCP" > Note: your network configuration may vary.

In the past I didnt get it managed to use DHCP and custom settings for SSID, wep/wpa password ... Either a long ifconfig line or using DHCP statement but then open lan. Some solution for this ?
