I believe people have had luck using the ndis(4) drivers. See below for links which may help: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/broadcom-ndis-howto.36611/ http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Wireless_Testing#Wireless_Devices_Needing_Drivers:_Does_ndisgen_Work_for_this_Device.3F Also, for future reference, wifi driver questions will probably attract a better answer from the developers if you send it to freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Regards, Ben -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@gmail.com
