I may be wrong in some of the following. When building the kernel module, an executable, b43-fwcutter is used to extract a binary portion of the driver provided by the manufacturer. This is used as an interface between the FreeBSD kernel and the BCM4318 chip. The command line is like: b43-fwcutter xxx.sys FreeBSD uses the bwn driver as the interface between the TCP stack and the chip. The bwn driver is a wrapper around the code extracted from the windows(?) driver. Now, I am REALLY getting over my head. tomdean ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
