[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi all, So, I've been working a bit on the bwn(4) driver, updating it to support newer cards, but I've hit a bit of a dead end. I've successfully made siba(4) recognise the card, but much more mork needs to be done and it's a bit beyond my skills (at least without help). However, I _have_ ported the new(er) firmware, and it seems to work OK even on older cards. This will need more testing, so if anyone has a card currently supported by bwn(4) and would like to give it a go, the diff against net/bwn-firmware-kmod is below: Index: Makefile =================================================================== --- Makefile (revision 391018) +++ Makefile (working copy) @@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ # $FreeBSD$ PORTNAME= bwn-firmware -PORTVERSION= 0.1.0 +PORTVERSION= 0.2.0 CATEGORIES= net MASTER_SITES= http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ \ http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/ @@ -24,24 +24,11 @@ lp0bsinitvals14 lp0bsinitvals15 \ n0bsinitvals11 -FIRMWARES_LP= \ - ucode ucode5 ucode11 ucode13 ucode14 ucode15 \ - pcm5 a0g1initvals5 a0g0initvals5 \ - b0g0initvals5 b0g0initvals13 a0g1bsinitvals5 a0g0bsinitvals5 \ - b0g0bsinitvals5 \ - lp0initvals13 lp0initvals14 lp0initvals15 lp0bsinitvals13 \ - lp0bsinitvals14 lp0bsinitvals15 \ - n0bsinitvals11 - WRKSRC= ${WRKDIR} FWNAME= bwn_v4 FWFILE= broadcom-wl-${FWVERSION}.tar.bz2 -FWVERSION= 4.150.10.5 +FWVERSION= 5.100.138 KMODNAME= ${FWNAME}_ucode -FWNAME_LP= bwn_v4_lp -FWFILE_LP= broadcom-wl-${FWVERSION_LP}.tar.bz2 -FWVERSION_LP= 4.178.10.4 -KMODNAME_LP= ${FWNAME_LP}_ucode PLIST_SUB= KMODNAME="${KMODNAME}" \ KMODNAME_LP="${KMODNAME_LP}" @@ -54,9 +41,8 @@ tar xjf ${DISTDIR}/${FWFILE} mkdir -p ${WRKSRC}/bg b43-fwcutter -w ${WRKSRC}/bg \ - ${WRKSRC}/broadcom-wl-${FWVERSION}/driver/wl_apsta_mimo.o + ${WRKSRC}/broadcom-wl-${FWVERSION}/linux/wl_apsta.o ${TOUCH} ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4/ucode.fw - @${ECHO_CMD} "KMOD= ${KMODNAME}" > ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4/Makefile @${ECHO_CMD} "FIRMWS= ${FIRMWARES:C/.*/&.fw:${FWNAME}_&/}" >> \ ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4/Makefile @@ -63,20 +49,7 @@ @${ECHO_CMD} ".include <bsd.kmod.mk>" >> ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4/Makefile @cd ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4; make all - cd ${WRKSRC} && \ - tar xjf ${DISTDIR}/${FWFILE_LP} - mkdir -p ${WRKSRC}/lp - b43-fwcutter -w ${WRKSRC}/lp \ - ${WRKSRC}/broadcom-wl-${FWVERSION_LP}/linux/wl_apsta.o - ${TOUCH} ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4/ucode.fw - @${ECHO_CMD} "KMOD= ${KMODNAME_LP}" > ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4/Makefile - @${ECHO_CMD} "FIRMWS= ${FIRMWARES_LP:C/.*/&.fw:${FWNAME_LP}_&/}" >> \ - ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4/Makefile - @${ECHO_CMD} ".include <bsd.kmod.mk>" >> ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4/Makefile - @cd ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4; make all - do-install: @cd ${WRKSRC}/bg/v4; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} KMODDIR="${STAGEDIR}${KMODDIR}" make install - @cd ${WRKSRC}/lp/v4; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} KMODDIR="${STAGEDIR}${KMODDIR}" make install .include <bsd.port.mk> Index: distinfo =================================================================== --- distinfo (revision 391018) +++ distinfo (working copy) @@ -1,4 +1,2 @@ -SHA256 (broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2) = a9f4e276a4d8d3a1cd0f2eb87080ae89b77f0a7140f06d4e9e2135fc44fdd533 -SIZE (broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2) = 3888794 -SHA256 (broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2) = 32f6ad98facbb9045646fdc8b54bb03086d204153253f9c65d0234a5d90ae53f -SIZE (broadcom-wl-4.178.10.4.tar.bz2) = 5986780 +SHA256 (broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2) = f1e7067aac5b62b67b8b6e4c517990277804339ac16065eb13c731ff909ae46f +SIZE (broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2) = 13514651 Note that this one firmware replaces the two previous firmwares (standard and low-power). I would be grateful if anyone else could try this firmware out, and let me know if you have any issues. In the meantime, Adrian is going to help find a developer from the Linux b43 driver to maybe help us out a bit. But don't expect a working driver anytime soon :-) -- Felix Friedlander <felixphew0@gmail.com> [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAABCAAGBQJVk4nPAAoJEF/vKV6HaeOBT3YQAKi+sMdNhcL5zLzEpImHhbQ9 JJJGheT7GDcqL4e38l53FZm9EMZCM+9PP0J8ia9pSMev1K3HBQbc5OYZf5Gy+hay 3/O0j5V0QBbvVArabdbZvnJNMTCOdybkdnT70mLQsOkur6pXVJOpQnvkC1amFd9o X0AycSQgtAA9hMDlq/3AgMYOtBeVHxf9EiJfNnFPIeM5vnabfeaVGpmTSVGmpwg5 RKIPZcplyaNtQoH/lJQ9B+Bb2DdSRptpx/gMjej2EfbR7J4JjgXw17jx72V+8c0p DGtKEo1q9E7/NbzVwC188omjxuiAmpe5KCNb3N9ToZ7vYemgLOQ4qZd99/JRDzuD gK6rPH+oT2kkAiiVPdzJS4NlR0kdcjF7A15GInDrLCcXcbEsIzw12KjgEWUVKgB0 arwe7V8H46bKsrkZTEZanAF5CrIi0SCn3oNETFcJ98a5Zp81IxJb2qAwKjf0qPgr ixdke+tbgAtO1seZp7rLlbtXgDXvmaXV0vOPq1j/G94EAR2zhOcxBalbFnhGQp/e 13wedR9gfET1vwhLg8hrOLwqFh/sJIMTa2JoPpA7/q/woti6soW5sQsq7laFiZO1 tfVlXz0vynejI36KGNzQ+jN5i08vhVzs8nHl8oi22N1WtAC/rC/jbWtfglzshveq DUnH1/FeWvPqDAVaS6i/ =rr5h -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
