Re: [gmane.os.netbsd.current] Re: NetBSD on the Lenovo IdeaPad S10 ?



Thanks, I'll see if I can manage to configure it.

I checked on OpenBSD and in fact, it is recognised by dmesg but defined as
"not configured". bwi is enabled in the kernel and I installed the
firmware, as described in the manpage, but the NIC does not popup.

The information given but OpenBSD are:
 5:0:0: Broadcom BCM4315
        0x0000: Vendor ID: 14e4 Product ID: 4315
        0x0004: Command: 0006 Status ID: 0010

I'm gonna try modifying your patch on NetBSD and see what happens.
