The command 'apropos broadcom' only returns a couple of wired ethernet drivers, a crypto accellerator and a bleutooth device. DragonFly BSD has a bwi(4) driver that supports the BCM430x/4318, but no mention of the 4311. <snip> > Interestingly on the same laptop, there is a ethernet card of RTL > 8139, which is also not detected by FreeBSD 7.1 . However, lets not > worry about that for the time being. Both the RealTek 8139 and the RealTek 8139C+ should work, but they use different drivers. See re(4) and rl(4).
