Can't load firmware
Hi all, I'm facing some problems with my IPW2200 NIC. It seems I can't load the firmware (from system log): firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss Both if_ipw and ipw_bss modules are loaded. This very same computer works fine with linux, including loading the firmware. I post this question here cause I didn't get any answer in the freebsd-questions@ list and because I read in the iwi man page that this shouldn't happen :). Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

No. I'm aware of the iwi man page, but after I did that I got a message in /var/log/messages complaining about the legal.intel_ipw.license_ack variable, not the one specified in the iwi man page. I set the last one to 1 but I got the firmware loading problem. If this has changed, I suppose it should be fixed in the documentation IMHO. Any more ideas? Any debugging hints?
