Hello,

I've updated one of my laptops to /head r250588; the laptop has a Wifi
chips which was not supported and I have had to use NDIS and the
generated kmod bcmwl5_sys.ko; before compiling it again now, I wanted to
ask if the chip is now supported in /head; if I load if_bwn.ko it says:

# kldload if_bwn
siba_bwn0: <Broadcom BCM4312 802.11b/g Wireless> mem 0x57100000-0x57103fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci1

and hard locks the laptop.

Any ideas? Thanks

	matthias
