I've been trying to get this to work on my laptop without success.
According to this page -
<http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html> - the ipw driver
should work. I can load the driver, but it doesn't show up in dmesg.
kldstat -n if_ipw
Id Refs Address Size Name
10 1 0xc52d0000 9000 if_ipw.ko
dmesg | grep ipw
uname -a
FreeBSD hostname.utdallas.edu 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May

The startup script, that's supposed to download the firmware, fails, of
course.
/etc/rc.d/ipw start
Starting ipw [ipw0:bss]ipwcontrol: Can't load /boot/firmware/ipw.fw to
driver: Device not configured
Have I missed something?
