They should be, yes. I would try loading the modules (kldload) just to be sure. If loading the modules doesn't fix things, then it's safe to assume they were compiled in kernel.

If loading the modules doesn't fix things, then it's safe to assume they were compiled in kernel. (But then again, I'm certainly not an expert in this area.) I can't load the modules because they don't exist as modules. However, the wireless card is detected, so the driver should be in-kernel (in opposition to loading the GENERIC kernel which lacks the iwi driver and my NIC is not shown by ifconfig). The debug.iwi=1 doesn't help much. It just says it can't load the firmware, but it doesn't give any clues about the reason. Any ideas? PS: jut out of curiosity, where is the firmware in the filesystem? Is it also compiled in-kernel? Thanks in advance.

PRO/Wireless 2200BG.
After typing ifconfig iwi0, I get the following:
iwi0: flags=8802BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:16:6f:91:d5:58
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b)
authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF bmiss 10
scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7
roam:rate11b 1 roaming MANUAL bintval 0
Now I (repeatedly) receive the following error messages in my xconsole:
firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
iwi0: could not load firmware
My /etc/rc.conf contains:
ifconfig_iwi0=WPA DHCP
My /boot/loader.conf contains:
wlan_scan_ap_load=YES
wlan_scan_sta_load=YES
wlan_wep_load=YES
wlan_tkip_load=YES
wlan_ccmp_load=YES
After typing kldstat, I receive the following (note that iwi_bss.ko
exists):
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 18 0xc040 97f830 kernel
2 1 0xc0d8 6a2c4 acpi.ko
3 1 0xc3e3c000 22000 linux.ko
4 1 0xc408f000 6000 i915.ko
5 1 0xc40a2000 f000 drm.ko
6 1 0xc428 f000 if_iwi.ko
7 1 0xc42ae000 3 iwi_bss.ko
Please help me figure this out. I've been trying to get wireless to work
for 3 days now, and I've searched and searched for a solution. Let me
know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Daniel

Re: FreeBSD and Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
After re-reading man iwi, I noticed that it says: This driver requires firmware to be loaded before it will work. You need to obtain iwicontrol(8) from the IWI web page listed below to accomplish loading the firmware before ifconfig(8) will work. I'm going to look into this. Sounds like this may be the problem. Do you think so?

Re: FreeBSD and Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Thanks Patrick. After updating my /boot/loader.conf, it now contains: legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 iwi_bss_load=YES iwi_ibss_load=YES iwi_monitor_load=YES wlan_scan_ap_load=YES wlan_scan_sta_load=YES wlan_wep_load=YES wlan_tkip_load=YES wlan_ccmp_load=YES I no longer receive the error message about failing to load the firmware. However, when I enter ifconfig iwi0 up scan, I receive the following in the xconsole: iwi0: firmware stuck in state4, resetting Any idea what that means, or what state4 is? (Sorry, I'm very new to FreeBSD.)
