I have a mid-2012 15” Retina MacbookPro10,1. I’ve been mostly successful getting FreeBSD to run on it (I’ll do a blog post on that later), but haven’t had any luck with the built-in wireless:
none4@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x00ef106b chip=0x433114e4 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
device = 'BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n'
class = network
Some googling led me to believe that although this chip isn’t supported by bwn(4), it ought to work with ndis(4). However, I haven’t had any success. Modules I load based on bcmwl664.sys (I’ve found and tried several different versions) just complain that there is “no match for” a bunch of function names and then I get “NDIS dummy called…”.
Modules I load based on bcmwl564.sys seem to identify the card, but then I get “driver attach returned 12” and no usable interface.
Does anyone have any ideas or pointers to a specific Windows driver that works with NDIS?
Thanks,
John Nielsen
