N.B. wpi(4) != ipw(4) !!! The latter is for the - now ancient - 1st generation centrino cards (2100). The former - supporting the 3945 cards - is in early stages of development (at least the port to FreeBSD is). The latest attempt is located at: http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi Note that this is not yet recommended for consumer use. Eventhough testing is welcome and encouraged, this work is simply not yet in a stable enough state that documentation can be made available. In general, the tarball from the page above supplies you with everything you need (other than a FreeBSD src-tree). There is no need to download additional firmware. The focus, for now, is HEAD so testing in RELENG_6 is not supported. The best advice, as a user and for now, seems to be to try ndis (though I have heard reports that it doesn't work for the ipw hardware), or wait for the driver to hit the tree. > free to be a specific as possible, as I suspect there are many others > who wish to get this working (and are not used to applying > "non-standard" drivers.)
