Hi folks,
Just started using Unix-type OS few days ago and now I have one problem. I can't get wireless device turning on (led is switched off) even though it's working on Windows. OS installed is PCBSD 8.1 so there should be no difference compared to FreeBSD. I have some kind of Dell mini wireless card (it must be Broadcom). Please tell me how to get more accurate information in terminal and I'll provide you with it if you need. For reference I used some parts of FreeBSD handbook.
Here's what I tried:
* Added if_bwn_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf.
* Did "make install clean" inside /usr/ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod directory
* reboot
* ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev bwn0
* ifconfig wlan0 up scan
Tried also bwi instead of bwn with no success.
What should I do to make my wireless work?
