wi driver: firmware %i.%i problem?
Here's a data point for you Warner. I have an Intel PRO 2011 802.11b adapter (Symbol Spectrum24 OEM) card. Works just fine under -current and the wi driver. After a yesterday's rebuild I noticed the wi driver displaying this on booting. $ dmesg FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #3: Sat Dec 8 19:32:20 GMT 2001 root@ernest:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TPAD . wi0 at port 0x280-0x2c7 iomem 0xd4000-0xd43ff irq 9 flags 0x1 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:02:b3:04:b8:b8 wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841, Firmware: %i.%i variant %i $ I'm not sure if the %i is a problem the kernel printf or with my card. I'm still using the stock pccard.conf file with the 0x1 flag. The card works fine. BTW, it's using version 2.xx firmware from Intel. I am not seeing the dhclient problem reported by others.

About your card, you may have luck checking your vendor's site for a firmware upgrade. Upgrading my cards (Addtron) really worked wonders. -- -Alfred Perlstein [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.' http://www.morons.org/rants/gpl-harmful.php3 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message

I was thinking of just committing the one line change and avoiding the flamewar :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
