Hi=21

The support for newer broadcom wifi-cards is new to =46reeBSD-11. This me=
ans that you either have to install the latest PC-BSD-11 beta or wait for=
 the final release of 11 (which should be =E2=80=9Dsoonish=E2=80=9D) to f=
ollow these instructions.

=46irst you have to reconfig/recompile your kernel. This is done by addin=
g the following lines to your kernel config (found at /usr/src/sys/amd64/=
conf/GENERIC):

options BWN=5FGPL=5FPHY
options BWN=5FDEBUG

You then need to uncomment some lines in /usr/src/sys/modules/bwn/Makefil=
e, just read the comments in the Makefile and it should be obvious which =
lines.

Then run =22make buildkernel && make installkernel=E2=80=9D in /usr/src. =
If everything went right, you should then add these lines to /boot/loader=
.conf and reboot:

bwn=5Fv4=5Fucode=5Fload=3D=22YES=22
bwn=5Fv4=5Fn=5Fucode=5Fload=3D=22YES=22
if=5Fbwn=5Fload=3D=22YES=22



Now, with any luck, you should have a working BCM4321=21 Just remember th=
at it doesn=E2=80=99t do 802.11n yet. This however is far superior to no =
wireless at all=21

If you have any further questions, don=E2=80=99t hesitate to ask=21
