I wasn't that lucky :) I'm using FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE-p4 #12 This is my loader.conf configuration: legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 iwi_bss_load="YES" iwi_ibss_load="YES" iwi_monitor_load="YES" And in my kernel config I have: device pci device wlan # 802.11 support device wlan_wep # 802.11 WEP support device wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support device wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support device wlan_amrr # AMRR transmit rate control algorithm device wlan_scan_ap # 802.11 AP mode scanning device wlan_scan_sta # 802.11 STA mode scanning device iwi # For Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg device firmware # firmware assist module This is the output of ifconfig: iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:0e:35:fd:aa:0f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b) authmode OPEN privacy OFF bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7 roam:rate11b 1 bintval 0 After seting debug.iwi=1 this is what I get when I try to bring the interface up: $ ifconfig iwi0 up iwi_newstate: INIT -> INIT flags 0x0 enter FW state 1 firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss iwi0: could not load firmware exit FW state 1 iwi_newstate: INIT -> INIT flags 0x0 Any ideas?
