Trying to run an old Compaq Armada 7750MT with freeBSD 6.2 and a Buffalo
wifi card. The pciconf on the card is BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN
Controller.
I have only been able to get one of the drivers to compile with the
ndisgen utility. That was a Dell driver version R102319. Everything else
I has tried fails to complete. Anyway the resulting bcmwl5_sys.ko loads
as well as if_ndis.ko and ndis.ko.
Doing a ifconfig ndis0 scan pulls up my the wifi connection I need to
use.
SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS
XXXX XX:XX 6 54M 130:0 100 EP ??? ??? ??? ???
??? RSN ??? VEN
I have the connection info in /usr/local/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf as far
as the SSID to connect to and psk to use. However wpa_supplicant never
can complete a connection to it. Is there something else that should be
loaded? Do you need the printout of a connection attempt?
Thanks,
Jim
