Worked under Windows Vista. I installed freeBSD 8- stable, and see as the last line in dmesg ugen2.2: at usbus2 Ferreting with google suggests that 8.0 might have usb support for the ndis wrapper, but I am unable to get any joy either using the HP bcmwl5 drivers for the DV6000, or in attempting to use the bwi driver. (I have an old Compaq N1020 with a LinkSys wireless PCMCIA card, which I have successfully generated the ndis wrapper and works happily under 8-stable) Any thoughts?
