Vince Hi, I think you are talking about that one http://people.freebsd.org/~flz/local/wpi/wpi-freebsd-20061109.tgz about a less complete driver usable on 6.x. And, yes, I have tried it, but it did not work for me. (I don't know yet how it works for some people). In my case, with ifconfig, the status is still on no carrier. No associated status. Hi, Could be although i got it from a different source. About the following, http://www.clearchain.com/~benjsc/download/20070107-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz basically yes, it only compiles on -CURRENT. I have tried it and it works for me. As I wanted to stay on 6.x, I have installed a 6.2-RELEASE, and tried to make the 20070107-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz compiles. Here, you will find the result of my work : http://www.bsdmon.com/download/20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz Excelent, just got a chance to try this on an unsecured network (couldnt get wep to work but i dont tend to need it anyway,) works great, got more than the 6 meg connection speed the other one i was using gave me. To make it compiles, I basically started from 20070107-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz and took some code on wpi-freebsd-20061109.tgz. Now, this new one compiles and it works for me : status: associated on ifconfig output. Don't ask why I do this or that, in the code. I don't really know :p. First, I just wanted to make the latest package I found, compile. And, on the plus side, it works for me. In the package, I have kept the original file as .orig, so you will see what I have added and changed. My programming skill are limited to shell and perl (and limited even then) so i'll take your word for it. I have intentionally commented WPI_DEBUG and WPI_CURRENT. About WPI_CURRENT, this have to be commented, on 6.x. About WPI_DEBUG, it is just that I wanted to get rid of lots of output, in my daily use. Hope it helps ;) It does indeed. many thanks, Vince ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
