Hi all,
I'm having a problem with 7.2 on my laptop and I'm not sure what I can do to fix it, as I'm fairly new to BSD.
I install 7.2 and I'm having some major problems.
#1 during install it will not detect any sort of network card. My laptop has both wired and wireless.
so in order to try and trouble shoot this I installed windows to get all of the vitals of the card. Then I tried again. but still nothing shows up. neither the wired or wireless works, along with a pile of other things I don,t care about, ie: the card reader ect.
anyways to make a long story short, I installed ubuntu linux onto it and the wired and wireless works fine.
so my question is .. how can I set up FreeBSD to use the same networking drivers that linux uses?
ubuntu identifies it as a Broadcom STA wireless driver
I just wish to get a very basic install with networking, but I'm out of my league here..
Thank You.
