Hello,

I'm trying to configure my Acer Aspire 5024wmli wireless card (pciconf
-lv told me device: BCM43XX Broadcom 802.11b/g) but without any success.

I use ndis with windows drivers and it is correctly loaded:

kldstat

Id Refs Address    Size     Name
 1   24 0xc0400000 906518   kernel
 2    2 0xc0d07000 e750     if_ndis.ko
 3    3 0xc0d16000 1aa10    ndis.ko
 5    1 0xc0d94000 1bdc     wlan_xauth.ko
 6    1 0xc0d96000 2ec0     wlan_acl.ko
 7    1 0xc0d99000 6a32c    acpi.ko
 8    1 0xc44f4000 22000    linux.ko
 9    1 0xc4699000 62000    bcmwl5_sys.ko
10    1 0xc47c9000 21000    radeon.ko
11    1 0xc47ea000 f000     drm.ko

and I have a ndis0 interface but when I use this command line: ifconfig
ndis0 up scan it returns me anything!

Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

network={
	ssid="wireless"
	scan_ssid=1
	key_mgmt=NONE
	wep_key0=XXX
}

and my /etc/rc.conf:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Created: Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
hostname="herlock-bsd"
keymap="be.iso"
linux_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 17:07:34 2008
#ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
hostname="herlock-bsd"
ifconfig_ndis0="WPA DHCP"
gnome_enabled="YES"

And it doesn't work...

Can anyone tells me how is it possible to make this card works on
freebsd ?

Thank you.

Gaƫtan.
