There is no wireless devices showing..! :(
Again its HP pavilion dv5178us
the wireless is a builtin, and its Broadcom Corp HP Integrated module.
This seems to indicate that your interface is the Intel 3945ABG chipset
which gives you the keywords you need to search for a driver. IIRC one
is in development, they are still discussing how to name it. Previous
chipsets use the ipw and iwi driver, check this website:
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/
Also, they mention the need to install ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod
Cheers, Erik
