Hi all I'm trying to configure OBSD 3.8 on a compaq nx7010 laptop to use the built-in Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG (iwi driver). I've installed the firmware from http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/iwifw/OpenBSD/iwi-firmware-2.3.tgz. The driver loads ok (at least that is my understanding from the attached dmesg), but as soon as I try to attach the interface (ifconfig iwi0 up), the box freezes for all practical purposes. The only thing left half alive is the console that I issued the command from (which never returns the prompt), but it's irresponsive and won't let me ctrl-c or ctrl-z the hanging command.
I've asked Miss Google and some archives, but have not come across the problem anywhere else. Has anybody seen this? Does anybody have a hint for a clueless soul where to investigate? There's absolutely nothing in the system log :-[ thx /markus # ifconfig iwi0 iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lladdr 00:12:f0:b9:a1:86 media: IEEE802.11 autoselect status: no network ieee80211: nwid "" 100dBm #
