>Description:
I'm trying to get my Broadcom BCM43XX based WNIC working on FreeBSD by using Ndisgen to convert my laptop's Windows driver into a FreeBSD Kernel module then loading it. But the process fails with "no match for IoGetDeviceObjectPointer" and a Trap 12 kernel panic upon unloading the module.
>How-To-Repeat:
> mkdir broadcom
> cd broadcom
> fetch ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe
> cabextract -q -L -F 'bcmwl5*' sp34152.exe
> ndisgen bcmwl5.inf BCMWL5.SYS
* Leave firmware question blank.
> kldload ndis
* -OR-
> kldload if_ndis
> kldload ./BCMWL5_SYS.ko
kernel: no match for IoGetDeviceObjectPointer
kernel: ndis0: <Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN> mem 0xd0000000-0xd0003fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6
kernel: ndis0: couldn't map memory
kernel: device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6
Then when I try unloading the module:
> kldunload BCMWL5_SYS.ko
Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode
