bwi driver

[Eitan Adler]

I have a Lenovo G530 laptop with a broadcom wireless card.
I downloaded the drivers referenced here:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=170
I installed them and loaded them.

However pciconf -lv|grep bwi produces no output and ifconfig does not
mention any wireless cards.

What should I try now?

If the driver didn't attach because IBM chose some exotic OEM PCI ID,
then the grep wont find it.

You really should post the full pciconf(8) and dmesg(8) for us, as well
as kldstat(8) -v.

uname(1) -a would also be helpful.

I sent an email previously which may have been caught by some spam
filters as having too many links so I'm resending this.
The links include dmesg, kldstat -v, and pciconf -lv
