It seems that the problems occur because my system is also trying to load the old firmware somehow. A more disturbing issue is that my rc.conf seems to be being read twice. I see the kldstat reports (with my echo commands) being printed four times instead of the two I'm requesting. Attached are my rc.conf and dmesg.
Okay, I've gotten it working with all encryption off (raw DHCP). All the nasty messages went away, so I'll see what's changed in the ifconfig options. ifconfig_iwi0="DHCP ssid rewired channel 11 authmode shared weptxkey 1 wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890" Can anybody spot it off the top? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
