Hello Guys,
now im so missed with my wireless settings,
I tried almost everything everyone has suggested.
output of kldstat
# kldstat

2 1 0xc0a97000 fa20 if_ath.ko

8 1 0xc6f33000 b000 if_ndis.ko
9 2 0xc6f3e000 13000 ndis.ko
loader.conf has the follow
if_ath_load="YES"
I even tried uploaded the .inf and .sys files and did the
ndiscvt -i W32DRIVER.INF -s W32DRIVER.SYS -o ndis_driver_data.h
then installed the driver module,
nothing isthere!!
I built the kernel with almost all the drivers i saw anywhere.. and still
ifconfig -a showing
fwe0: flags=108802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NEEDSGIANT> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 62:3f:02:6c:41:84

inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
ALso i tried the ndisgen way, to convert, and it built the driver as
w39n51_sys.ko and i kldloaded
# kldload /usr/home/admin/w39n51_sys.ko
after issuing this command, no devices showedup in ifconfig -a and
this is the result in /var/log/messages
kernel: ndis0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection> mem
0xd2100000-0xd2100fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6
kernel: ndis0: couldn't map memory
kernel: device_attach: ndis0 attach returned 6
There is no wireless devices showing..! :(
Again its HP pavilion dv5178us
the wireless is a builtin, and its Broadcom Corp HP Integrated module.
Im attached a file of my dmesg output,
I wish someone have any solution for this..
Note:
I googled... and found nothing, i eat the words in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-wireless.
and there is no case like this:)
