BWN Driver

2011-12-19 Thread Chris Brennan 
I've got an HP Pavillian laptop with a Broadcom BCM4312 card. Below is
what I've loaded so far and the result from /var/log/messages.

I get a nice bwn0 device with ifconfig, but I am unable to do anything
with it and the little blue light on the front of my laptop stays red,
even after playing with the switch for my Wireless device. I've gotten
it to work in linux but not reliably and of course it does work in Windows.
So I am a bit stumped as to what is wrong or what I am missing.

I tried this as well, still no blue light.

Hi, I have the same card, so maybe I can help. Some Broadcom chipsets
are LP (low power) PHY, so you have to load bwn_v4_lp_ucode instead of
bwn_v4_ucode. That worked for me. You may want to check the man page

You stated that it works under Windows, no surprise there. Could you go
into the properties tab for that device in Windows and post what info
you find here. Seeing exactly how Windows sees the device might help
debug this problem.

There is a Linux driver
 supplied by
Broadcom. Perhaps you could modify it to work on your system.

When you say you are unable to do anything with it, what have you tried?
ie have you run though

ifconfig /wlan0/ create wlandev bwn0
ifconfig wlan0 up
ifconfig wlan0 list scan

to check that its not just the light thats not coming on?

Sorry if i'm asking stupidly obvious questions but the whole "create" thing 
still throws some people.

New bwn driver

2010-08-21 Thread Steven Friedrich 
I have an HP pavilion zd825us which has a Broadcom ethernet that appears to be 
supported by the new bwn driver. I have, for several years now, been using the 
NDIS driver based on Project Evil. Since bwn came out in 8.1, I tried it and 
it pretty much works but I get a couple errors sporadically.  Here are the

The closest port I find is

net/bwi-firmware-kmod


# locate bwn-|grep ports|wc -l
   0

When I searched for firmware using make quicksearch key="firmware" I
found net/bwn-firmware-kmod but it does not exist

ls -lao /usr/ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod
ls: /usr/ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod: No such file or directory

See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=bwn-firmware-kmod+&stype=all

You should have a directory under /usr/ports/net named bwn-firmware-kmod.
If you don't, then you need to update your ports skeleton.
You should also be able to just use a package, like:
pkg_fetch bwn-firmware-kmod

or with portupgrade -N bwn-firmware-kmod

I'm sorry, I read your post too quickly and missed where you clearly stated 
the problem.

You said:
> ls: /usr/ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod: No such file or directory
This indicates that you need to update your ports tree.  Do you know how?

I'm not familiar with portsnap, so I'll let someone else troublehoot that.
But I want to mention that the port was added to the tree six months ago...

I checked it out from CVS and installed the port. I'll test the wireless soon.

As I recall, I had to add this line to loader.conf because it wouldn't 
autoload it:
if_bwn_load="YES"  # Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11 wireless NICs

Someone may have fixed it by now.  I was doing this back during the release of 
8.1

I'm sorry. I cut the wrong line from loader.conf. It should have been to load 
firmware. I know you've gotten past it, but I wanted to set the record 
straight, in case anyone needs help...
bwn_v4_ucode_load="YES"# Broadcom BCM43XX firmware
