Hello,
Now bwn(4) is available at the public and waiting test and review. The
status of this driver is *alpha* so could make panics, warnings and
errors. Please let me know if you encounter problems.
The following NICs all I have are only tested on the little endian 64bit
machine and big endian 32bit machine.
- Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless
- Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless
I tested basic RX, TX and WPA association as STA mode and checked it
worked.
As you might know there are still a lot of TODO in the driver so you
could see some verbose messages during testing so please ignore or let
me know it makes problems.
