>How-To-Repeat:
actually it's not a bug per se. its more of a problem i have with my new laptop a Compaq C551UT model with a BROADCOM 802.11 b/g wireless device, that is not properly detected by FreeBSD6.2.  I hope your development team can find a way to help those similar individuals working very hard to have a healthy BSD installation on their laptops.  Especially a work around on such problems. Thanks and more power!  Oh yeah, google doesn't help at all with this type of problems on wireless issues especially on Unix systems. Cheers!!!
