Hey folks, So now I have a few macbook laptops, they would be really great to run FreeBSD except that the wifi isn't supported. The macbooks have a broadcom BCM43xx chip inside of it for wifi. Is anyone interested in a *free* (to keep) laptop(s) in exchange for finishing this driver? Getting FreeBSD running on older mac hardware would open up a pretty large niche of laptops that are starting to get on the second use market. Please let me know, I can drop the laptop off anywhere in the SF bay area, or possibly toss it into a USPS/UPS box and send it to you. My only ask is that after 3 months, if the driver isn't somewhat working you return it so that it can be donated to a charity supporting the homeless. thanks! -Alfred
