Sorry. I really don't know. I was just throwing that out there. I got a BCM4312 somewhat working on my Dell Mini using the bwn driver. I have no idea what your error message is about though.

Thanks. That's good to know.

Should be able to edit my posts any day now! But I thought I'd update and say I don't think that was it. The keyboard just works sometimes and doesn't work others. I guess I'll just be living with it for now.

Not sure what's going on here, but I moved the line linux_enable="YES" above the lines containing the dbus, hald, and gdm initializations and it's working again, for now.

Have you tried using the bwn driver? That's how I got it somewhat working on mine. You'll need to install the siba and firmware packages too.

Unfortunately, I celebrated too soon. The problem has reappeared after installing the linux flashplugin. I can't figure out why that would break it. Something tells me it working was just a fluke. So any suggestions would really be appreciated.

I figured out that the keyboard works if I start gnome manually using only: /usr/local/etc/rc.d/gdm onestart I tried deleting the line gnome_enable="YES" from my /etc/rc.conf file and now it works! I now have gnome and my wireless working on my machine. Almost there!

After a long, painful process, I have managed to get FreeBSD and gnome2 installed from the ports tree. Now I can't get gnome to recognize my keyboard to accept my password at the gnome login screen. I have installed Xorg and enabled hald and dbus in my rc.conf file. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I would gladly test on a BCM4312 (low power) Dell Mini. bwn is close on this one, but I still am having problems.

Thanks. I did try fsck_ffs -y but I did not know about any /lost+found. I've decided to reinstall one last time, but it's not looking good. I still get an RX decryption attempted error after my wifi starts. I have a feeling this card might not work with FreeBSD. I appreciate the response.

What would be the cause of this panic? I get the message: Panic in ffs_valloc and my computer just restarts. I can only boot in single-user mode. It may be related to a bwn driver or maybe an incorrectly unmounted USB. I really don't know, but I'm running out of ideas and patience.

I am receiving the message: RX decryption attempted (old 0 keyidx 0x1) using a Broadcom BCM4312 (Dell Wireless 1397) and the bwn siba driver. The message repeats many times even after I have logged in. I have searched the forums and seen others with this problem, but I have not been able to...

Well, I managed a workaround bypassing ndis altogether and using bwn instead. You can see how I did it here.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. How would I make this custom script? Would I simply add the kldload command to it? Once I make the script, how do I get it to run at boot time exactly? Would it be a line in /etc/rc.conf? Thanks for your help.

I am trying to configure the wireless on my Dell Mini. I created a driver module bcmwl5_sys.ko that I can get up and running issuing the commands: kldload /boot/modules/bcmwl5_sys.ko dhclient wlan0 However, I have the following line in my loader.conf that causes kernel panic...

I'm sorry about all the posts. I managed to edit my /etc/rc.conf. I found that you can execute: unload at the loader prompt. After that I issued: load /boot/kernel/kernel boot And I was able to boot after that. Hopefully, you've heard the last of me on this issue. Thanks!

Thanks. I still can not boot in single user mode. I receive the same message I received in message #1. Could set be of any use in the loader prompt?

Well, here I am again. I found out what command was crashing my system after a reinstall. So I'm back to the same problem. Luckily, I have a working USB and can enter the shell through sysinstall. Now I just need to be able to edit my rc.conf. Is this possible to do? I'm assuming that I can if I...

Sorry for double posting, but it appears my USB drive had become corrupted. I got a new USB drive and the reinstallation is working. So we'll save everyone some heartache and I'll just reinstall. I appreciate your help. I have a feeling you haven't seen the end of me! Thanks!

Exactly the same thing happens in single user mode. I can't get to a command prompt. I had recently edited my rc.conf, loader.conf, and wpa_supplicant where I had successfully started wifi using /etc/rc.d/netif start. I should have rebooted then! Now I can't get it to mount my USB where I could...
