I have a Dell Vostro 2520 Laptop.
and
I have installed firmware for bwn(4) and added this to /boot/loader.conf
My wireless is not yet supported.
I had been using broadcom-wl-dkms while in Arch which worked well for my card. But I can't find an alternative for FreeBSD. I've tried converting Windows Drivers using ndisgen(8), that also didn't work. And I've tried everything in the other thread.
Any ideas?
