Thnak a lot for your answer! Actually I knew about this one: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=118975 but i wanted to know if it was already merged/solved/taken as officical/ or so... Basically, if it was approved or not in order to go witfbsd7 obsd4.3 (Dell vostros and inspirons both come packed with BCM5906M and I really don't have to duke it out with and ethernet card =P). Again, thanks for your answer!
