Hello all,
I am trying to get the Airport Extreme (Broadcom BCM4318) to work
under FreeBSD. This was working fine under Debian, but I'm having some
problems getting it to work here.
First of all, adding the line to /boot/loader.conf, as the bwi man(4)
page says, did not give me the device. I tried to find the bwi kernel
module, but couldn't find it. Maybe I was looking for the wrong name?
Then, I decided to go for option 2 and rebuilt the kernel with the
devices defined as mentioned in the bwi manpage. That went ok. I also
built and installed the bwi-firmware-kmod as per the manpage's
instructions.
When I boot, the device gets reconised, but the loading of the
firmware fails with the error message "cannot register image
bwi_v3_pcm5, firmware table full!" after which the MAC init fails.
A copy of the relevant entries in the /var/log/messages is attached.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Rob
