Just to get the facts straight and assembled in one place: You are running a somewhat recent RELENG_6, have net/iwi-firmware-kmod installed and "device iwi" and "options firmware" built into your kernel? When do you get the "Can't load firmware" messages? What does kldstat [-v] say before and after that point? Can you try "kldload iwi_bss" before and see if that gets you up and running? > On 7/27/06, Mark Willson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Have you tried using the firmware from iwi-firmware-kmod, rather than > > iwi-firmware.

Hi, Max - I did so, and it appears that the module is already loaded. It seems that the problems occur because my system is also trying to load the old firmware somehow. A more disturbing issue is that my rc.conf seems to be being read twice. I see the kldstat reports (with my echo commands) being printed four times instead of the two I'm requesting. Attached are my rc.conf and dmesg.
