Hello, help me, please. I have a laptop (Dell Vostro 3500) and it has "Broadcom WiFI network card". I have FreeBSD 8.2 Release. I have read many forum posts, but..bwn(4).
My /boot/loader.conf
I download broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2 and b43-fwcutter-012.tar.bz2, but I do not know how to install.
FreeBSD 8.2 does not have an Internet connection. I cannot use ports.
