Today, after leaving my Lenovo T61 on overnight to do some compiles, I
lost my wireless. I tried a few other things that what I've listed
below, but none of it worked. This is a dual boot machine - I also run
Windows XP, and don't have any issues with wireless on that OS. Any
clues would be appreciated.
# uname -a

r...@driscoll.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
First, in /var/log/messages, I found the following:
Sep 13 15:09:23 grimsqueaker kernel: wpi0: device timeout
Sep 13 15:09:23 grimsqueaker kernel: wpi0: link state changed to DOWN
Sep 13 15:09:24 grimsqueaker kernel: wpi0: could not set power mode
Sep 13 15:09:24 grimsqueaker kernel: wpi0: device config failed
So I tried stopping and starting netif:
# /etc/rc.d/netif stop
Stopping network:wpa_supplicant not running? (check
/var/run/wpa_supplicant/wpi0.pid).
lo0 em0 wpi0 fwe0 fwip0.
# /etc/rc.d/netif start

Then, I let the compile get as far as it could, and rebooted. While
rebooting, I noticed this on the console, and found these traces in
/var/log/messages:
