List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2016 12:09:36 -0000 Dear Adrian, I set the mentioned option (BWN_GPL_PHY just below the bwn driver) in the kernel config file and recompiled the STABLE kernel. Now the additional message about BWN_GPL_PHY is gone, but there is some 2-3 features listed as unsupported. The driver gets attached to the network card as siba_bwn0, but no interface is created by ifconfig. What should be the name of the interface in /etc/rc.conf - siba_bwn0 or bwn0? Otherwise, paradox added a link to some Broadcom device datasheets from Cypress: http://www.cypress.com/search/all?f[0]=meta_type% 3Atechnical_documents&f[1]=resource_meta_type%3A575&f[2]= field_related_products%3A110101 I had a quick look and although bcm4321 and bcm4322 are not on the list, bcm4318, bcm4319 and bcm4325 are. Might be relevant to further testing and writing drivers in general. Best regards, Andy
