(Updated to stable from 5.4 Release this=20 morning.) Everything works great except for the wireless card. ndiscvt works properly= ,=20 and the kernel module loads just fine (an improvement over 5.4 release,=20 which paniced on driver load) I've tried a number of different drivers,=20 including: The generic 64-bit broadcom ones from here: http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/drivers.php 64 bit drivers from Acer at:=20 ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/ferrari_4000/driver/winxp64bit/802= 11g.zip pciconf -lv gives:=20 none5@pci5:2:0: class=3D0x028000 card=3D0x1355103c chip=3D0x431814e4 rev=3D= 0x02=20 hdr=3D0x00 vendor =3D 'Broadcom Corporation' class =3D network The acer drivers match the chip number exactly, as I found them on the=20 Ndiswrapper list=20 http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List (driver #31) The odd thing is that under Gentoo, the wireless card works just fine with= =20 Ndiswrapper, using the aforementioned Acer drivers. To compile, I'm doing=20 iconv -c -f utf-16 -t ascii bcmwl5.inf > bcmwl5.inf.ascii ndiscvt -i bcmwl5.inf.ascii -s BCMWL564.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.o make && make install And like I mentioned, the drivers compile and load just fine, but the=20 network interface isn't available afterward (ifconfig -a) Please send any suggestions, I'm not a big fan of Gentoo and I'd really lik= e=20 to get FreeBSD fully working on this laptop. :-) Thanks!
