Hi, I having problem with my wireless built-in card (Broadcom 43xx "14e4") on Inspiron 600m. Was trying to compile bcmwl5.inf and ...sys, got ndis0 device but it did not fire up physical device. Also was trying to manage ndis0 options with sysctl and did not get any result. Can somebody let me know(links also good) where to download right <<bcmwl5.inf and ...sys>> files, i would really appreciate this. (PC-BSD - i386, INSPIRON 600M).

Thank You.
Ross

Rostyslav, 
please ask questions on the mailing lists (we have several of them and they 
have a legitimation). 
GNATS is our bug database and neither a chat system, nor some kind of a forum. 
As a first shot to your question: 
For using project evil drivers, you need to get some Windows drivers for 
your device. We (the FreeBSD project) does not distribute Windows drivers. 
Thank you for your understanding!
