Hi all, FreeBSD on ARM states that the WiFi chip on the Zero 2W is unsupported ("Unsupported (BCM43438 Driver)"). Just wondering if: a) this is still the case, and if so b) if support is likely to be developed. I am happy to test if needed. In the absence of WiFi connectivity, does anyone...

Wireless card: BCM43225 FreeBSD version: 13.1-RELEASE Kernel built with BWN_GPL_PHY option Hello, so basically after I suspend/resume, it can't connect to wifi. Here's what I tried: 1. Networkmgr's GUI. It has button "Enable wifi", which doesn't do anything (and prints "service netif status not...

Hello. I'm trying to get wifi working on my laptop Samsung 700Z3A with a broadcom wifi adapter. sysctl net.wlan.devices finds no adapters (and ifconfig doesn't find it either). So that's where my adventure starts. Here's a list of what's given: if_bwn is loaded laptop's model is samsung...

Hi everyone, I have got an old laptop (hp pavillon dv7) on which I am dual booting Linux (artix) and Freebsd 13.1. My wireless chipset is a Broadcom 4312. I did some researchs on the forum, found all the required information and did my settings accordingly. The ending result is quite...

Hey y'all, I'm new to BSD and have just installed FreeBSD and KDE Plasma on my Dell Latitude E5420. My wifi is not working, but LAN is. I've read that my wifi card is not supported by FreeBSD (Broadcom) but that it could possible to create the drivers myself using XP drivers and ndisscvt. I...

Hi, I am new to freebsd, hence the command-line interface, I was having trouble using commandline interface so I am using GhostBSD with FreeBSD 12 for ease. However, I cannot figure out how to install Broadcom wifi driver and how to configure wifi, the FreeBSD page says to edit the kernel...

I'm trying to install a Broadcom BCM43236 Wifi USB on my laptop running FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE-p11. I'm getting an error message: bwn_v4_ucode5: could not load firmware image, error 2 bwn0: the fw file(bwn_v4_ucode5) not found I think that the firmware file is missing, so trying the command "pkg...

I would like to apologise in advance, if this is straight-forward, and/or answered elsewhere on the forum--I have tried for the past few hours to look hard before I dared ask any questions, and I combed through the WiFi section of the Handbook, etc. Basically, in short, I am using an EliteBook...

Hello, friends. I followed the directions in the FreeBSD Handbook and everything went really well. I made a mistake the first time and made a 32 bit module but I loaded it and unloaded, no problem, didn't show ndis0 under ifconfig but when I made the 64-Bit module, as soon as I kldload the...

Two years ago i bought a WLAN card model Bcm94352z with the BCM4352 Broadcom chipset to use it on macOS (Hackintosh). It turns out that the card worked properly on macOS but didnt work on Ubuntu nor on any Linux distro. 2 years later i managed to get it work on Linux by adding the "irqpoll" or...

Hello FreeBSD Users, I have installed FreeBSD on my old Apple MacBook Pro(2015). Before installing FreeBSD I have tried the Debian based Linux on my old Apple MacBook pro. Everything is working fine with Debian os. But I wanted to move it to BSD OS really badly. Now I have a problem to make...

My ageing Mac mini running macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 was finally hosed by Apple's Security Update 2018-001 (the one for the debug exception). Both 10.13.4 Recovery and 10.13.4 Internet Recovery failed to boot, but the 'D' built-in hardware test seemed to give the machine a clean bill of health...

I'm translating this over from the pfSense forum, since it appears to be more of an issue with FreeBSD. (https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=146029.0) I have had my pfSense router working flawlessly for over 60 days now running 2.3.3 (FreeBSD 10.3). I tried to upgrade on several...

Hello - Warning: I'm new to FreeBSD. I've looked at a lot of posts and cannot figure this out. I have done some debugging with the code to realize that it doesn't seem to pass the function call usbd_lookup_id_by_uaa in /usr/src/netgraph/bluetooth/drivers/ubt/ng_ubt.c. But to further debug, I...

I bought a Rosewill AC1300 (without proper research), and I have tried all the avenues of approach I can. ndisgen created a kernel module that would break my install using the supplied drivers. I also have tried bwn, bwi, if_bwn_pci, and have yet to find anything to get a workable solution...

I recently upgraded to 11.1-BETA3 due to its patch fixing ndis. However, I cannot get ndis to work. I am using the 64-bit Win2000/XP drivers downloaded from here (I'm on amd64), and the generated module loads with very little issue (except for no match for IoWMIOpenBlock and no match for...

Greetings, all. I was gifted a PCI wireless NIC, and just got the opportunity to plug it into a spare I had, to see how it worked. Sadly, FreeBSD didn't even notice it. :( OK, it's a Broadcom -- see closed source; so I didn't have unrealistic expectations. ;) But I do know that alot of work has...

Hi, yesterday I installed FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT and wanted to set up my wifi. I have a Broadcom BCM4313 and I read googleing there were some problems attempting to get this card working with the net/bwn-firmware-kmod, so some people used ndis to use the Windows' drivers. Because I wouldn't like...
