I did a fresh install of OpenBSD-CURRENT on my new laptop, an Acer
Aspire 5610 that comes with an Intel 3945 wireless adapter. But it
seems I can't use the adapter with OpenBSD.Following the wpi manpage,
I installed the wpi-firmware-2.14.1.5.tgz file with pkg_add, and it
seemed to install fine.
# cat /var/db/pkg
wpi-firmware-2.14.1.5.tgz

If I just do ifconfig wpi0 nwid NAME without first doing a ifconfig
wpi0 down, ifconfig shows me 'ieee80211: nwid "" 100dBm', so I guess
it sets the ESSID just fine. But I can't launch dhclient. I get the
same errors:
# dhclient wpi0
wpi0: timeout waiting for thermal sensors calibration
wpi0: fatal firmware error
wpi0: not found
exiting
I am typing this post from Linux, where the card works flawlessly with
the ipw3945 driver. Any ideas ?
