Could you please check with hrev41559 or newer on trunk?

[saivert]

Still not working. same laptop as before.

[korli]

It seems the trunk bwi driver in FreeBSD doesn't support this revision either. First two numbers of the following array are the supported ranges.

{ 0x4301, 0x4301, 0x4301 },
{ 0x4305, 0x4307, 0x4307 },
{ 0x4403, 0x4403, 0x4402 },
{ 0x4610, 0x4615, 0x4610 },
{ 0x4710, 0x4715, 0x4710 },
{ 0x4720, 0x4725, 0x4309 }

FreeBSD don't suport 4311 but DragonFly does :)

I have similar problem with 4312:

I not see this broadcom in Network Preferences - ofcourse before I installed firmware

[taos]

I'm not really sure, but bcm4312 might be supported by bwn in FreeBSD (9-current). From ​FreeBSD bwn(4) man page:

The bwn driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:

Card             Chip       Bus   Standard

[...]
HP Compaq 6715b  BCM4312    PCI   b/g
[...]

I was looking for support of bcm43225 - no luck so far.

[modeenf]

You have so right. Was not if_bwi.c in FreeBSD but if_bwi_pci.c that had the information

{ PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4301,"Broadcom BCM4301 802.11b Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4307,"Broadcom BCM4307 802.11b Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4311,"Broadcom BCM4311 802.11b/g Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4312,"Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a/b/g Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4313,"Broadcom BCM4312 802.11a Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4320,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless Lan"}, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4321,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11a Wireless Lan"}, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4325,"Broadcom BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless Lan"}, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4324,"Broadcom BCM4309 802.11a/b/g Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4318,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11b/g Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x4319,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11a/b/g Wireless Lan" }, { PCI_VENDOR_BROADCOM, 0x431a,"Broadcom BCM4318 802.11a Wireless Lan" },

[korli]

Please test with a current revision.

[marcm]

tested with hrev45986 and installed wifi fw

bcm4312 doesn't show up in /dev/net

[korli]

Please provide a syslog.

[marcm]

Here it is:

Any hope it will be supported in the near future?

[korli]

@marcm it seems this device isn't supported by bwi but by bwn, which isn't ported yet. Furthermore it needs another module siba_bwn, which might need more work like other drivers. In anycase this deserves a new enhancement ticket.

[luroh]

Likely fixed and closing it as such, despite the lack of feedback. Hubert, marcm: Please open a separate enhancement ticket for your device if needed.
