Hi, =20

=46irst let me say that I very much appreciate your work on bwn. Broadcom=
 devices are, alas all too common :( Anyway I dug an old iMac out of stor=
age and installed a recent CURRENT (r300836) since I knew the wifi chip i=
n it to be some variant of the BCM4322.

After uncommenting all needed lines (=3F) in the Makefile regarding GNU P=
HY support I loaded bwn=5Fv4=5Fucode,  bwn=5Fv4=5Fn=5Fucode and if=5Fbwn.=
 Upon checking dmesg I got this:

siba=5Fbwn0: <Broadcom BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless> mem 0xd0200000-0xd=
0203fff,0xd0000000-0xd00fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3
siba=5Fbwn0: warn: multiple PCI(E) cores
siba=5Fbwn0: unsupported coreid (USB 1.1 Host)
bwn0 on siba=5Fbwn0
bwn0: failed
device=5Fattach: bwn0 attach returned 6



So, the driver doesn=E2=80=99t attach :(

Since my understanding of drivers is well, lacking, is there anything I c=
ould do to get this specific version of BCM4322 to work=5B1=5D=3F I would=
 be glad to provide any information needed.


=5B1=5D That is to get the driver to attach. I have no illusions regardin=
g functionality, this is after all a Broadcom chipset=21
