MACBOOK PRO 13 MID 2010 KEEP SHUTTING DOWN DRIVER
Need to rebuild the bwn() driver with the option to include GPL-licensed PHY code. Broadcom 4320 at /dev/bwn0 requires effort to get working, and throws warnings about resets and PHY TX errors even when it works. NVIDIA nForce MCP79 adapter works out of the box at /dev/nfe0. EFI boot partition appears to FreeBSD at /dev/ada0p1 macOS main partition /dev/ada0p2 macOS rescue partition at /dev/ada0p3). The machine is currently dual-booting a fresh install of macOS El Capitan (disk is partitioned using a GUID partition scheme. 250GB Samsung SSD works out of the box at /dev/ada0. Software is a fresh install of FreeBSD 13.0 AMD64 RELEASE using a memstick installer, with Xorg and XFCE4 installed as packages. The battery is the original, and only gets 1.5h on a normal load, but other than that the hardware is in good working order. Hardware is a MacBook Pro 5,5 (13", mid-2009) with 8GB RAM and the old physical hard disk replaced with an SSD. I got a lot of help from these forums, so I'm collecting everything I've learned here as a way of giving back. I've recently succeeded in installing FreeBSD 13.0 on an old MacBook Pro 5,5 from mid-2009.
