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?

Re: FreeBSD and Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
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. (But then again, I'm certainly not an expert in this area.)

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.)

There is a port in /usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware but it is only for FreeBSD < 7 You don't need anything on FreeBSD 7.x and you it seems you are not using the right manual page for 7.1: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iwi&manpath=FreeBSD+7.1-RELEASE&format=html Regards. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
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
Yes, and my /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf contains the following (actual
psk not shown):
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ap_scan=1
network={
ssid="neuralnet"
psk="..."
}
