Hi, First let me say that I very much appreciate your work on bwn. Broadcom devices are, alas all too common :( Anyway I dug an old iMac out of storage and installed a recent CURRENT (r300836) since I knew the wifi chip in it to be some variant of the BCM4322. After uncommenting all needed lines (?) in the Makefile regarding GNU PHY support I loaded bwn_v4_ucode, bwn_v4_n_ucode and if_bwn. Upon checking dmesg I got this: siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless> mem 0xd0200000-0xd0203fff,0xd0000000-0xd00fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 siba_bwn0: warn: multiple PCI(E) cores siba_bwn0: unsupported coreid (USB 1.1 Host) bwn0 on siba_bwn0 bwn0: failed device_attach: bwn0 attach returned 6 So, the driver doesn’t attach :( Since my understanding of drivers is well, lacking, is there anything I could do to get this specific version of BCM4322 to work[1]? I would be glad to provide any information needed. [1] That is to get the driver to attach. I have no illusions regarding functionality, this is after all a Broadcom chipset! -- /Hälsningar Björn On Thursday 19 May 2016 at 09:01, Adrian Chadd wrote: > Hiya, > > I managed to get the BCM4321 and BCM4322 working.
