iwi(4) not working

[Jeremie Le Hen]

Hi,

I tried to use my integrated wireless network card.  I get the
iwicontrol(8) utility on Damien Bergamini's website [1], as well as
the firmware tarball.  I use CURRENT's iwi(4) driver, I guess it's
the lastest revision as the driver of the website last changed during
January 2005.

iwi0 at pci6:3:0:  class=0x028000 card=0x27018086 chip=0x42208086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'Intel Corporation'
    device   = 'PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection'
    class    = network

I friend with an iBook can easily connect to this access-point.  I don't
understand why I can't get the associated status.
Note that the shown MAC address is the correct one, thus the card seems
to receive some beacon frames, it's not a ``link'' error.
