Just download: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe Then install archivers/cabextract, and use cabextract to extract the bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5*.sys files. cabextract -q -L -F 'bcmwl5*' sp34152.exe Then use ndisgen to build the kernel module. ndisgen bcmwl5.inf bcmwl564.sys Then copy the kernel module to /boot/modules, and add bcmwl564_sys_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf. You also need to apply the diff from -CURRENT that adds several new functions to the NDIS kernel module, that are needed by the Broadcom driver. fetch -o ndis.diff \ "http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/compat/ndis/subr_ntoskrnl.c.diff?r1=1.87&r2=1.88" Then apply it and build the new ndis.ko module. cd /usr/src ; patch < /location/of/ndis.diff cd /sys/modules/ndis ; make obj ; make ; make install Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message.
