got the "if_iwi.ko" kernel module working under FreeBSD-5.4-RELEASE-p1,
but every time I compile my custom kernel, I manualy have to "cp"
if_iwi.ko from /boot/kernel.old to /boot/kernel to keep it working.
Using the files:
iwi-firmware-1.2.tbz # to control Intel/Pro wireless 2915abg miniPCI
iwi-freebsd-1.3.4.tgz # driver used for FreeBSD-5.3
# driver works under FreeBSD-5.4
the file:
!!!! "iwi-freebsd-1.4.2.tgz" is only for FreeBSD-6.x !!!!
QUESTION:
Is there any way to enable for driver build under FreeBSD-5.4 ???
I would like to take the "#" off, but "config my-kernel" is complaining
# my-KERNEL-file
# Wireless NIC cards
device wlan # 802.11 support
# device wlan_wep # WEP crypto <-----
# device iwi # Intel/PRO 2915abg miniPCI <----
to be able to rebuild the "iwi" driver support in the source ??
There is source code around for OpenBSD and DragenFly,
how about FreeBSD ??
# settings in: /boot/loader.conf
