Broadcom WLAN on HP dv9000

[Emmanuel Mie]

Hi,

I have exactly the same problem on a Dell Inspiron 640m (proc : Core2Duo T5500).

I downloaded the 32-bit windows drivers, converted it with ndisgen (following this tutorial (in French) http://oregnier.developpez.com/cours/unix/freebsd/wificard/?page=page_3#L3.2 )
Ndisgen worked just fine, generating bcmwl5_sys.ko with no error at all.

When I try to kldload it, I get a kernel panic and the same errors as "BSDUser", although I don't know how to redirect the output (kldload bcmwl5_sys.ko > logfile resulted in an empty file).

I tried to kldload ndis and if_ndis before loading bcmwl5_sys.ko, same errors.

Is there a way to get this device working on my computer, or should I switch back to some evil OS ;-) ?

Regards,
E.Mie
