NEW-TO-FREEBSD&UNIX: About My Broadcom Wireless BCM4315
NEW TO FREEBSD:'BROADCOM BCM4315 DRIVER' ASK FOR HELP
First of all, as a Chinese and do not learn enough, my English is very poor.
And I must learn how to use FreeBsd for some reason. This is my first time to take a post here, if you have any bad feeling of my writing, please be patient.......
After installed, everything of the machine looks like perfect except Broadcom Wireless BCM4315. To install the BCM4315 dirver, in 4 days, I tried every way shown in the forum and other website through google, But I just got nothing to work.
With ngis - I've tried almost every version including official and third drivers from 2004 to 2010, with bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl564.sys, sometimes .ko did nothing, sometimes cause fatal error, and every bcmwl6.inf and bcmwl664 cause fatal error.
With bwi in the ports, it seems did nothing. pciconf always shows none...
With bwi of "http://paradox.lissyara.su/bwi.02c.tar.bz2", cause a fatal error, some infomation is "has 4 cores......"
With bwn(4), can not kldload if_bwn, after kldload ssb, the BCM4315 shows none1 to ssb0, but can not work anymore, and sometiems, after kldload ssb, cause a fatal error.
I'm sure I have kldload every thing for ngis in the ngis way, and kldload firmware for bwi in the bwi way, and firmware bwn in the bwn way.
after all above, I called HP's technology support phone, and the answer is THERE IS NO SIGNED OR CERTIFIED BROADCOM DRIVER FOR UNIX, so they can not give any support to me.
DOES ANYBODY CAN TELL ME HOW TO INSTALL THIS DRIVER?
Though I can get the net through my LAN card, but it is very bad idea, as my work evn is wireless.
My computer is HP 4416s 171. FREEBSD is 8.0 REALESE
