Hi :)

pkg_info -L iwi-firmware*

will show  that the script installed by the port is /etc/rc.d/iwi

I had the issue with mergemaster destroying it in the past (thank god
for backups!), so I had moved it to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iwi.sh .

Since 6.1 and latest iwi port upgrade (I'm on iwi-firmware-2.4_7 now) *
, i'm getting more a lot more lockups than before when bringing the card
back up ( usually after a suspend/resume cycle). I'm testing a new set
of custom scripts to load/unload if_iwi.ko for a full reset and see if
this makes any different to stability.

* lack of stability could also be caused in my case due to change of
laptop( from Toshiba Tecra A2 to IBM thinkpad z60m...)

Thanks!

I looked, and there was no iwi script there either. It seemed to pick up
iwi.sh, but there are a whole bunch of messages that aren't being logged
anywhere (as per a discussion on -STABLE) that suggest that something
isn't quite right. It does work connection-wise, but I haven't been able
to get any resume behavior other than a full boot out of it.
