https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=202501 eb30750@gmail.com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |eb30750@gmail.com --- Comment #3 from eb30750@gmail.com --- The support for Broadcom devices is limited as Broadcom has not made their code available until recently and then maybe not the latest. I have a Broadcom BCM4365 wireless controller (it is believed to mislabelled as the 4366 driver is used) version 6.30.223.271 (r587334). And a bluetooth controller BCM 43142A. I have the kernel source code and driver for the 4365 wifi and the driver for the 43142A bluetooth, The kernel source code compiles, is loaded as module "wl" and runs on linux. Would I be able to do the same on FreeBSD? I run this on an HP laptop computer. I have a keen interest in migrating to FreeBSD which I have used in the past. I want to move away from linux and VMware and migrate to the BHyve hypervisor which represents an integrated solution for multiple running VMs. But, if I can't get my communications devices to work with FreeBSD then all is moot.
