This other thread, gives some insight about the different construction of the bcm4313 card.This thread, shows that adding the PCI Vendor id will just probe the hardware, but will not work.A 3rd part port of ndis to OpenBSD could be a solution. Implementing this Broadcom Wireless driver will need a huge effort to get done, and many of the users are using wifi dongles or converting ndis (Windows XP version) drivers to get wireless conectivity.Īre there any patches floating through the internet that would enable ndis on OpenBSD, so I could "convert" this driver as a workaround like the one used on FreeBSD?ĮDIT1 - The intent here is not to "stick with FreeBSD" or question the OpenBSD binary policy, and that is why i´m looking for guidance. Is there any hack/tip/trick to make this specific Broadcom Wireless work with OpenBSD?Īfter digging some FreeBSD-wireless threads and OpenBSD-tech/OpenBSD-misc, I noticed that adding the PCI vendor to any specific driver will not work since this specific device have differences on it´s hardware construction compared with Broadcom 4312 or Broadcom 4318. ![]()
