Hello, I've a new inspiron 6400 running FreeBSD 6.1 and I can't get Wireless to work. It works on WXP using the Dell WLAN drivers at http://ftp.us.dell.com/network/R115321.EXE
I've followed the instructions at http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/05/freebsd-howto-ndisulate-windows-drivers/ but no ndis driver shows up after kldload if_ndis. ifconfig -a looks like: bfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::215:c5ff:feb8:39e%bfe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 172.16.1.42 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.16.1.255 ether 00:15:c5:b8:03:9e media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active fwe0: flags=108943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::304f:c0ff:fe9c:7541%fwe0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0xff000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255 ether 32:4f:c0:9c:75:41 ch 1 dma 0 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 It seems as if the fwe0 devices wants to be the wireless, as the bfe0 driver is my "wired" ethernet card. pciconf -lv gives vendor and class as "Broadcom" and "network," but does not show the device information, so I'm stumped.
