Hello all, I downloaded, burnt and installed 7.0-RC1 (all torrent) on amd64 I downloaded the dell windows drivers for my laptop wireless card (which worked on i3686 6.2-RELEASE) and used ndisgen to create the .ko file (bcmwl5_sys.ko) and loaded it and then realised I had created the 32 bit driver so I re-did it and used the 64 bit file and loaded the 64bit .ko and at that point my laptop (Dell Vostro 1000) hung. I had put bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" in the loader.conf file I rebooted and now I don't get anything. As soon as it starts to boot it stops. There is a screen showing kernel dump info and I can copy it if needed but I have to burn the rescue iso otherwise I cant boot. Is this a known problem ? Does anyone have any advice ?
