Hello fellow NetBSD users, I have dabbled with NetBSD in VirtualBox for some time now and today I decided to install NetBSD-amd64 version 6.1.2 on my Thinkpad T61 laptop. The T61 comes with the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG wireless card - or wpi, NetBSD seems to have the appropriate driver for it, and necessary firmware is also made available(I used the wpi-firmware2-2.14.4 binary package from pkgsrc). But, whenever I bring the interface up(ifconfig wpi0 up), I get this error:
wpi0: fatal firmware error I also tried the old firmware wpi-firmware-1.13, with no more success; I get the same error. Any ideas how to make this wireless card work? Does anybody run NetBSD with this wifi card? BTW, I have not configured dhcpd/dhclient or wpa_supplicant yet; I see no reason to, first I need to get the firmware working.
