Hey all,
I installed the iwi-firmware and iwi-firmware-kmod ports and I am now
trying to load specific firmware on the iwi adapter but it keeps failing.
The port installs fine and puts the firmware to /boot/firmware. The docs
for iwicontrol state to load firmware for a specific function issue a:
iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss
Every time I issue that command I get an error saying it cannot load
firmware: Invalid argument.
The system is FreeBSD 6.2 with an Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG adapter. I
have the most up to date stable source and ports tree.
I also tried the ipw-firmware port but that did not pick up my adapter
when I loaded the kernel module.
Any ideas?
here are some examples from my laptop, an IBM T42, with the same wireless
adapter as yours.
in /etc/rc.conf:
ifconfig_iwi0=DHCP WPA
iwi_enable=YES
iwi_interfaces=iwi0
iwi_mod_iwi0=bss
in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid=network
psk=wpa-passwd
}
and in /boot/loader.conf:
# Wireless Network - Intel BG2200
if_iwi_load=YES
wlan_acl_load=YES
wlan_wep_load=YES
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
wlan_tkip_load=YES
wlan_xauth_load=YES
and finally, the port:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ pkg_info |grep iwi
iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_2 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Firmware Kernel Module
hope this helps,
jonathan
