Hello, I recompiled the kernel and did a world rebuild to include the bwn code we discussed last time. There is some progress - now the bwn module does not complain that some features are missing. However, the firmware is missing. I installed the /net/bwn-firmware-kmod, though that does not seem t

Sounds reasonable, thanks! if you make the change and give the revision number, I will give it a go to see if the code compiles (can do it in a VM, which wont have wlan interface but I'd assume it is OK if the world can be built without any issues) the ddb(4) support included in net80211 (imple

Dont know how this code was leaked, but in the source files it is clearly stated that the work is proprietary and all rights are reserved. This prevents FreeBSD developers (or any open source developer - say Linux kernel guys) from porting the code into any open source project. Just compare the

Heh, well, I can't use it for porting anything to freebsd. broadcom aren't interested in open sourcing their reference driver. The only open source we get from broadcom is brcmfmac/brcmsmac, which broadcom manage. It's missing older chips (eg PHY-LP, PHY-G) and the PHY-AC softmac port (BCM4360.)
