--VbJkn9YxBvnuCH5J Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline I might be fighting a losing battle, but any advice on getting the Broadcom BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n working? This chip is found in Apple's MacBook and probably elsewhere. I'm currently running amd64 8.2-RC2. As best as I can see, HEAD has nothing that RELENG_8_2 doesn't have, as far as bwn(4) is concerned. As per the bwn(4) man page, I installed the net/bwn-firmware-kmod port. The firmware failed to load, giving a "firmware table full" error. Seems that others had this issue. Bumping the firmware table size FIRMWARE_MAX in sys/kern/subr_firmware.c was the suggested workaround; both modules provided by the port - bwn_v4_lp_ucode.ko and bwn_v4_ucode.ko - now load without error. Loading if_bwn.ko yeilds the following on console: siba_bwn0: <Unknown> mem 0x93100000-0x93103fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci3 siba_bwn0: warn: multiple PCI(E) cores siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (USB 2.0 Device) siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (unknown) siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (Internal Memory) siba_bwn0: unknown chipid 0x4322 for PLL & PMU init bwn0 on siba_bwn0 bwn0: unsupported PHY type (4) device_attach: bwn0 attach returned 6 siba_bwn0 appears in devinfo(8) output but bwn(4) is nowhere to be found. Any suggestions on how to get the card working?
