6.0-BETA5, kismet iwi ...
Hi list, I've just upgraded my laptop to 6.0-BETA5, hoping I finally would be able to have functional wireless.. things didn't go quite as I expected, tho. My wireless card is an Intel 2200BG, supported on FreeBSD by the iwi driver. I had it installed prior to upgrading by downloading from http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ , but removed it and added device iwi to the 6.0 kernel instead. Now it always complains about iwi0: Please load firmware. So, I went to damien's site again, only to find that the download link had been removed, and a reference to ports/net/iwi-firmware was there instead. I've tried to install the port, and it says I've already got iwi(4) support, and won't let install anything. I'm left with a iwi0 that has no firmware, an so is worthless. Is the firmware somewhere in the base 6.0 system ? The other problem is kismet. Looking at the (poor) kismet documentation, the best I could get from it was that I needed to define radiotap_bsd_x as my capture source on kismet.conf. The documentation isn't clear about what X is, so I've tried: - radiotap_bsd_x - radiotap_bsd_g - radiotap_fbsd_x - radiotap_fbsd_g Either way, it says the capture type is unknown. Then I tried with capture type ipw2200, and kismet said it wasn't built. So.. where is the iwi firmware or where can I download it (pkg_add -r iwi-firmware doesn't work btw), and how to make kismet happy about my iwi0 card ? Thanks in advance. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
