Actually, I'm using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE, does your suggestion means that I need to make an upgrading of the base system? Sorry for my newbie question. Does "iwi(4)" means? When I do "man iwi" I see "iwi(4)" on the upper side, is that right?. I also noticed that I have the /usr/port/net/iwi-firmware-kmod, is it needed to upgrade the base system? > Note that it uses the firmware(9) subsystem to load the > firmware image, so you will have to change to > net/iwi-firmware-kmod from ports - as described in UPDATING. > The latest firmware version - IIRC is 3.0.
