Re: wireless 3945 status?
Hi all, This would really interest me as well. I was forced to put linux on the laptop for the time being so that I could use the wireless. Even with that I had a small struggle. Is this Microsoft doing a old boys network with the hardware vendors, or is it just that the hardware vendors are too lazy to support open source? On another machine I had to fight with the bloody ATI video card. Does not seem fair, I am sure that there are more and more Freebsd and linux desktop users out there, why can't the vendors just give us a choice. cheers G ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I didn't see any new Centrino laptop comes with Intel 2200BG anymore, most of them come with Intel Wlan 3945. Atheros isn't widely deployed in laptops come with Duo and Duo 2. Now I see laptops with AMD cpus come with broadcom chips, not Atheros too. If you look to USB Wlan too, few ones use Atheros too. So FreeBSD guys, are you coming to laptops world since it takes over in home instead of desktop pcs? I wish you do so before it's too late.

I had partial success with the wpi driver on Toshiba Satellite A105-40??. I need to systematically write the steps the output post about the problems to the -mobile@ list. In short, before I recompiled the kernel (6.2-PRERELEASE) with kdb, more importantly with WITNESS INVARIANTS support, after loading the driver, system used to go in panic on shutdown or reboot. There definitely was a working connection during my unstructured testing. Will post again w/ more details. - Parv -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
