I downloaded a driver kit from HP. It created
c:\SWSetup\SP32158A\
In that folder I found
bcmwl5.inf
bcmwl5.sys
bcmwl5npf.sys
and lots of other files.
The .INF file was UNICODE. But as far as I can tell the only
special characters were in the
[strings]
section for various countries. I cut off all the other countries
leaving just US and
forced it to ASCII.
ndiscvt gave no error messages.
The
make
make install
gave no error messages.
I added an ndis linen to loader.conf to load the .ko
dmesg shows no error messages. But it doesn't show ndis0: being
recognized either.
When I manually try
kldload ndis
it says it is already loaded.
When I try
ifconfig -a
there is no ndis:
When I try
ifconfig ndis0:
it says there is no interface.
I don't know what else to try.
Try using ndisgen to make the wrapper. ndisgen should create a
bcwml5_sys.ko file in the directory, then you need to copy that file to
/boot/kernel/
After that in your loader.conf add bcmwl5_sys_load="YES" along with the
ndis_load="YES". I beleive that the old way of creating the ndis drivers
is either broken, or being faded out for ndisgen.
I have the same wireless cards and this is the way i did it. So it
should work.
