Hi,
I have recently built a new kernel to get my intel 2200 wireless adapter
working and am still having some problems. I put the following in my
kernel config file;
device iwi
device pci
device wlan
device firmware
I compiled and installed the new kernel successfully. I also pplaced the
following in my /boot/loader.conf file;
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
iwi_base_load="YES"
iwi_ibss_load="YES"
iwi_monitor_load="YES"
but when I try the following;
dhclient iwi0
i get;
iwi0: no link........................... giving up
also when I try
ifconfig iwi0 up scan
the system just hangs. I have had a look at /var/log/messages and found
the following lines:
module_register_init : MOD_LOAD (iwi_bss_fw, 0xc45f25a0, 0) error 1
kernel: firmware_get : failed to load firmware image iwi_base
kernel : iwi0 : could not load firmware
I have no idea what any of this means, but it may have been before I added the entried to /boot/loader.conf
Thanks for any help,
Brett.
