I've downloaded http://paradox.lissyara.su/bwi.01.tar.bz2 (it's sources from some p4 branch that is actually dragonflybsd bwi driver port) but still no luck, cause all modern broadcom cards need v4 firmware. I also extracted/built v4_150 broadcom firmware (http://opticomspb.ru/~savetherbtz/freebsd/bwi/bwifw_v4_150.tar.bz2) and found site with it's cpecs http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/ on which Linux driver is based But with my knowledge of C i can't write driver =( FreeBSD forums thread here http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=170 Is there any work going that way? Or Broadcom Wi-fi will always be unsupported on FreBSD.
