Dear Adrian, Ben, sysctl.net.wlan.devices returns only the urtwn0 interface (from a TP-LINK USB dongle I use to get any connection). Below, please find the output of "dmesg | grep bwn": andy@mb-2008:~ % dmesg | grep bwn link_elf_obj: symbol bwn_nphy_op_allocate undefined KLD file if_bwn.ko - could not finalize loading siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless> mem 0xd3100000-0xd3103fff 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) How should I proceed?
