Broadcom 4312 in BSD

Is there a way to configure Broadocom wifi 4312 in a bsd system, FreeBSD or OpenBSD. I will appreciate any kind of help.


Thanks in advance

Reading the man page for bwi on FreeBSD 8.0, it says it supports "Broadcom BCM43xx IEEE 802.11b/g wireless network driver"


Quote:

To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your
kernel configuration file:

device bwi
device wlan
device wlan_amrr
device firmware

Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the
following line in loader.conf(5):

if_bwi_load="YES"
