The WiFi is apparently Broadcom. I have tried ndisgen in the past and got nothing that worked. I recently downloaded a recent version of the driver. Here is the listing of the contents of the downloaded driver kit. Volume in drive C has no label.

When I did a kldload it crashed the system. ndisgen asks about firmware files. I don't know which files might be firmware. If anyone who has their WiFi working with bcmwl5 drivers would send me their kernel modules I would like to see if they work with my system. I"m running 6.1 RELEASE.
