Re: [9fans] applying a patch on 9front
Hi jimerickso, I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to plan9, so you've run into something I haven't seen yet. Sorry I can't be of more help. My experience was that I couldn't get the system to recognise and authenticate the wifi so it would connect to the network at boot. I modified my plan9.ini with ether0=type=iwl essid=MYESSID debug=1 wpapsk=WPAPASSWORD For some reason this failed to authenticate and connect my machine to my localnet. I could however run the following once my machine was up and the wifi worked. bind -a '#l1' /net echo 'key proto=wpapsk essid=MYESSID !password=WPAPASSWORD' >> /mnt/factotum/ctl aux/wpa -2p -s MYESSID /net/ether1 ip/ipconfig ether /net/ether1 At any rate we should probably move this to the 9front email list if we need to discuss it further.

Re: [9fans] applying a patch on 9front
HI jimerickso, To get the patch to apply on my system, I used cd /sys/src/9/pc cat $home/etheriwl.c.diff | ape/patch -p5 Then you need to copy iwm-7265-17 from the openbsd firmware blobs and put it into /lib/firmware, then build your kernel. This will configure the iwm-7265-17 firmware blob to load with an ac-7265. Unfortunately, not all ac-7265's require this particular blob. I have another one that requires the iwm-7265D-29. It also identifies itself with the same pci id, 0x095a, so there is no way to differentiate which firmware to load at the moment. You have to know what firmware the ac-7265 needs and then code etheriwl.c to suit. Good luck and I hope you get your wireless working. I kind of gave up on mine as I couldn't get it to work at boot, but if you get it working let me know.
