Broadcom Wireless BCM4312 Rev.02 (BCM4310 UART) troubles

Hello

I've got a problem with Broadcomm Wireless.
I have notebook HP Compaq 6720s with BCM4312. I disassemblied book and saw
there plugable Wireless Module but I'm lazy to do it again to werify
it's
ID.

Windows XP drivers works fine and says that is's

PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4312&SUBSYS_1371103C&REV_02\4&29E2C51B&0&00E1
MEMORY E4000000 - E4003FFF
IRQ 17

I've tried :

root@mason.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
And noting as i386 8.1 release.

Now I'm running:

book have a switch to turn on/off all radio and it's always on. also when
i'm switching it FreeBSD says nothing
Also I tried acpi_hp - no sense
And i didn't find any apropriate in sysctl

Moving next - ndis
I've tried couple of drivers
With WinXP that running on drivers v. VERSION: 7.10 REV: B from sp41680
And OS goes to kernel panic just when I kldloaded it.
No dump, sorry, but I don't think that it matters a thing

Another one - VERSION: 6.10 REV: A from sp34152 works a bit better
It converts and loads without panic but in debug:
kldload bcmwl564_sys.ko

and everything doesn't work again.

I think this as all info I can get, huh.
I've got only two questions:
1)Is there a way to determine what exactly microcode uses Windows Driver
(There's no info in devmgmgt.msc or I just don't get that it's info
I'm
looking for)
2)Have u got any advices to me how to get it all working?

  Why don't you try to play with wlan(4) on top of bwi/bwn?
An example is here: handbook / 31.3.3.1.1 How to Find Access Points.

NDISulator on amd64 is mostly broken. It can panic on driver
initialization (fixed in my git repo).
Also fpudna in kernel mode can cause panic (not yet fixed).

Interesting, that version of driver does not use symbols which cause
crash on driver initialization of older driver...

Of course most 6.X drivers dont have support for older NDIS 5.1 API.
