No worries my friend. If anyone else can give me some hints, i will be very thankful.

Hello! I am trying to install the bwn driver in nomadbsd and I have faillled several times https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bwn(4) can anyone help me? my first basic problem is that i cannot find the kernel configuration file XD

Have you installed ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod?

Have you installed ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod?

no

because I am trying to follow what is said here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bwn(4)

actually, I think that it is already installed

octopkg says that the package is locked...

because I am trying to follow what is said here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?bwn(4)

From that man page: This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. The ports/net/bwn-firmware-kmod port needs to be installed before ifconfig(8) will work.

it is installed

it is installed

Alright

Next step is to load bwn_v4_ucode kernel module then

To compile this driver into the kernel, add the following lines to the kernel configuration file: device bwn device bhnd device bhndb device bhndb_pci device bcma device siba device gpio device wlan device wlan_amrr device firmware To load the driver as a module at boot, add the following lines to loader.conf(5): if_bwn_load="YES"

this?

try : kldload bwn_v4_ucode

If your /boot/loader.conf has the last line you have posted, then it should load at boot time

Maybe this thread can help: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/problem-with-if_bwn-at-install-stage.74744/

This?

That's correct yes

ok

i will reboot :)

Nope

It didn’t work

I tried to load the drivers too by hand

And this is the result

devinfo -v

please

Veeery long

Tell me what to look at :)

as file?

Thanks for the help btw :)

Thank you for your suggestion

That'd be funny yep

I am pretty sure that I didn’t XD

But who knows...

Did you check the photos that I sent?

It appears as none and no device so...

Maybe it has been asked earlier but, which laptop is it?

No laptop. It is a desktop computer with an Asus ac88 card

Broadcom BCM94709R4366AC You can try both bwn(4) and bwi(4) although it's not a BCM43XX so maybe it isn't supported yet. I have no clue since I've never used wifi with FreeBSD outside my thinkpad.

It is a Bcm 43

4366

The installation procedure is to install the package and then load the module on the kernel, right?

Yes, we need to bring more love on bwn+bhnd in terms of testing. If my understanding is correct, there are few missing bits like phy code for BCM4313. I have no this card, no usb-minipcie adapter, so I can't hack driver to make it working.

I'm familiar with bhnd code due to involvement into development of this driver from MIPS part, not wifi part.

Your help is more than welcomed :)

It is a Bcm 43

Oh, so it refers to the last digits then. I had my doubts. Thanks for clarifying

so FreeBSD 13 RC3 installed on my spare lap - it works great

Not only EU 😔 EU only excuse is bureaucracy but when one "european" country can't do this simple fix for itself it's a great shame.

cool!

looking at armv6 images there, and see armv6-RPI-B ( or close to that) but which RPi is that for! I've got both a 2B and a 3B, (the 2B hasn't booted a freebsd image yet! long story, never mind)
