Right now we have this line in GENERIC: #device bwn # Broadcom BCM43xx wireless NICs >From user POV all he need to do to make his broadcom wifi work, is to uncomment this line and recompile his kernel. But this actually not sufficient - he also need to add device siba_bwn, and then install net/bwn-firmware-kmod. But he will know that after recompiling his kernel when his wireless adapter will not work as expected :). So may be we need to also add siba_bwn (commented out by default) in GENERIC and some reference about net/bwn-firmware-kmod? >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
