I have a Broadcom BCM4365 wireless controller (it is believed to mislabelle= d 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 43= 65 wifi and the driver for the 43142A bluetooth, The kernel source code compi= les, 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 pas= t.=20 I want to move away from linux and VMware and migrate to the BHyve hypervis= or 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.
