Bwi driver and broadcom 4318
-
Hey all,
I am trying to install pfsense on a laptop. From what I've read the Broadcom 4318 should be supported.
I am getting errors similar to listed in this post http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=62750.0.
bwi_v3_ucode could not load firmware image, error 17 pfsense bwi0: request firmware bwi_v3_ucode failed bwi0: bwi_init_statechq: error 12 on MAC init
I've also see these errors:
firmware_register: cannot register image bwi_v3_ucode ... firmware table full!
bwi0: HOSTAP mode not supported
bwi0: need multicast update callback
From hours of research I have read about needing to install the bwi firmware called: ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod
But I think that is built into 8.3. If not, I need someone to help me step-by-step understand how to install it.
I have made it so my /boot/loader.conf.local looks like this:
if_bwi_load="YES" bwi_v3_ucode="YES" runfw_load="YES"
my kldstat looks like this:
1... kernel 2... bwi_v3_ucode.ko 3... runfw.ko 4... zfs.ko 5... opensolaris.ko
Notice that the if_bwi is not in there. I cannot find it in /boot/kernel either.
If I do kldload if_bwi.ko I get: kldload: can't load if_bwi.ko: No such file or directory
Please help. I hope someone has solved this.
Thanks in advance!
