Have you tried using ndisgen(8) and the Windows bcmwl5.[sys,inf] files to create the module bcmwl5_sys.ko? I have a Gateway with the Broadcom 4318, and that routine worked for me. You may have to try different .sys and .inf files (i.e. Broadcom, Dell, etc) to get it to work. If it does, then when you kldload(8) the module, you'll see something like this in dmesg(8); ndis0: <Dell TrueMobile 1300 WLAN Mini-PCI Card> mem 0xb8004000-0xb8005fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci6 ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:14:a5:80:f5:c9 Good luck, Patrick
