I have an HP pavilion zd825us which has a Broadcom ethernet that appears to be supported by the new bwn driver. I have, for several years now, been using the NDIS driver based on Project Evil. Since bwn came out in 8.1, I tried it and it pretty much works but I get a couple errors sporadically. Here are the dmesgs: Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless> mem 0xc8206000-0xc8207fff irq 17 at device 3.0 on pci11 Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0 on siba_bwn0 Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: WLAN (chipid 0x4318 rev 9) PHY (analog 3 type 2 rev 7) RADIO (manuf 0x17f ver 0x2050 rev 8) Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: DMA (32 bits) Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: [FILTER] Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: firmware version (rev 410 patch 2160 date 0x751a time 0x7c0a) Aug 21 11:39:29 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: need multicast update callback Aug 20 17:01:37 laptop2 kernel: bwn0: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0x2) Occasionally, a message appears on the console indicating that mDNSResponder had an issue: Aug 20 19:45:42 laptop2 mDNSResponder: mDNSPlatformSendUDP got error 51 (Network is unreachable) sending packet to 224.0.0.251 on interface 127.0.0.1/lo0/2 Aug 21 11:39:56 laptop2 mDNSResponder: mDNSResponder (Engineering Build) (Aug 4 2010 09:50:01) starting And when I use the NDIS driver, I see this lock not held...
