I have a MacBook Pro Retina 13" with FreeBSD11 installed to a USB key. During installation the option to set up ipv4 was not available as no network cards were found. This, I believe, is a bug of sorts as the Broadcom card in my machine should be supported by the bwn(4) driver. It should presumably, therefore, load on boot and recognise my card, enabling ipv4 setup during installation(?)
I can add
There is information available here and here which seems helpful, but not so much when you're trying to learn BSD and need to look up each of the steps involved. It becomes a very convoluted process of trying to guess what I'm supposed to be doing and potentially messing the system up in the meantime.
Is there a guide (or can someone let me know) how to manually configure the various files in order to get my wireless card to run (driver loaded at boot etc.)?
Thanks!
sysinstall
has been removed, which would have enabled me to run through the semi-automated process of setting up my wireless card. I can add
if_bwn_load="YES"
to /boot/loader.rc but that's only part of the process.There is information available here and here which seems helpful, but not so much when you're trying to learn BSD and need to look up each of the steps involved.
