Hello,
I'm trying to configure my Acer Aspire 5024wmli wireless card (pciconf
-lv told me device: BCM43XX Broadcom 802.11b/g) but without any success.
I use ndis with windows drivers and it is correctly loaded:
kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 24 0xc0400000 906518 kernel
2 2 0xc0d07000 e750 if_ndis.ko
3 3 0xc0d16000 1aa10 ndis.ko
5 1 0xc0d94000 1bdc wlan_xauth.ko
6 1 0xc0d96000 2ec0 wlan_acl.ko
7 1 0xc0d99000 6a32c acpi.ko
8 1 0xc44f4000 22000 linux.ko
9 1 0xc4699000 62000 bcmwl5_sys.ko
10 1 0xc47c9000 21000 radeon.ko
11 1 0xc47ea000 f000 drm.ko
and I have a ndis0 interface but when I use this command line: ifconfig
ndis0 up scan it returns me anything!
Here is my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
network={
ssid="wireless"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
wep_key0=XXX
}
and my /etc/rc.conf:
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Created: Sat Apr 12 18:32:05 2008
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

hostname="herlock-bsd"
keymap="be.iso"
linux_enable="YES"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Apr 12 17:07:34 2008
#ifconfig_re0="DHCP"
hostname="herlock-bsd"
ifconfig_ndis0="WPA DHCP"
gnome_enabled="YES"
And it doesn't work...
Can anyone tells me how is it possible to make this card works on
freebsd ?
Thank you.
Gaëtan.
