As I wrote in the previous email, I have pkg_add'ed the damien firmware.
this means that I did sudo pkg_add http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/packages/openbsd/iwi-firmware-3.0.tgz the files /etc/firmware/iwi-license /etc/firmware/iwi-boot /etc/firmware/iwi-bss /etc/firmware/iwi-ibss /etc/firmware/iwi-monitor /etc/firmware/iwi-ucode-bss /etc/firmware/iwi-ucode-ibss /etc/firmware/iwi-ucode-monitor are there and dmesg | grep iwi tells me that the adpater has been recognized during the boot process; what's more, I get *something* like # ifconfig iwi0 iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx nwid "" media: IEEE802.11 autoselect status: no network but I am missing the "powersave" line. I don't know whether this is related to the problem. It cannot be a hardware problem because the crashbox with the debian variant ubuntu recognised the chip and I was able to connect to my nwid I am wondering whether this has something to do with the encryption bit rate... I see that the maximum is 104-bit and I don't remember which rate I chose (the wlan modem is at home, I am in the office now) Mmmh... maybe I should try to switch off the wep and see what happens... 2006/11/28, Der Engel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
