Wireless Network Adapter (WIFI)

Cisco/Aironet 802.11b wireless adapters (an(4) driver)

The ath(4) driver supports all Atheros Cardbus and PCI cards, except those that are based on the AR5005VL chipset.

The bwi(4) driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:

Apple Airport Extreme

Apple Airport Extreme

ASUS WL-100g

ASUS WL-138g

Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S

Buffalo WLI-PCI-G54S

Compaq R4035 onboard

Dell Wireless 1390

Dell Wireless 1470

Dell Truemobile 1300 r2

Dell Truemobile 1400

HP nx6125

Linksys WPC54G Ver 3

Linksys WPC54GS Ver 2

TRENDnet TEW-401PCplus

US Robotics 5411

The bwi(4) driver uses the older v3 version of Broadcom’s firmware. While this older firmware does support most BCM43xx parts, the bwn(4) driver works better for the newer chips it supports. You must use the bwi(4) driver if you are using older Broadcom chipsets (BCM4301, BCM4303 and BCM4306 rev 2). The v4 version of the firmware that bwn(4) uses does not support these chips.

The bwn(4) driver supports Broadcom BCM43xx based wireless devices, including:

Apple Airport Extreme

ASUS WL-138g

Buffalo WLI-CB-G54S

Dell Wireless 1390

Dell Wireless 1470

Dell Truemobile 1400

HP Compaq 6715b

HP nx6125

Linksys WPC54G Ver 3

Linksys WPC54GS Ver 2

US Robotics 5411

Users of older Broadcom chipsets (BCM4301, BCM4303, and BCM4306 rev 2) must use bwi(4) because the v4 version of the firmware does not support these chips. The newer firmware is too big to fit into these old chips.
