List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 11 Nov 2016 06:17:27 -0000 Fellow FreeBSD users and developers, I just returned to FreeBSD after some light distro-hopping and wanted to test drivers for the Broadcom wireless BCM4322 chip. bwi doesn't work at all, as it does not recognize this chip (no surprises there), however bwn recognizes the chip and both siba and bwn get attached. However, the driver throws some errors and detaches with exit code 6. Regardless, I feel like there is some hope in getting this to work! As I understood from previous discussions, Adrian is working on the bwn driver. How is it coming along? I know that me and a lot of other FreeBSD users are running FreeBSD on MacBooks (either natively or via virtualization) and it would be a major breakthrough if we could get the pesky Broadcom NICs to cooperate :). I would be more than willing to participate in a "pilot program", should end-user testing me of importance. Best regards, Andy
