ipw3945 assistance?
Hi, Please excuse my noob status...I would like some assistance with installing the wpi-freebsd driver on a 6_2 Release setup. Please feel free to be a specific as possible, as I suspect there are many others who wish to get this working (and are not used to applying "non-standard" drivers.)

I installed the drivers (if_wpi.ko & wpi_ucode.kom directory. Then attempted to install the ipw-firmware port per this document: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html Was directed to ipw-firmware-kmod instead. When attempting to install that, I received the message: "ipw-firmware-kmod-1.3_1 needs fresh ipw(4), install net/ipw-firmware instead" What have you tried so far, and how is it failing? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/ipw3945-assistance--tf3043955.html#a8513106 Sent from the freebsd-hackers mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

That should have read: "I installed the drivers (if_wpi.ko & wpi_ucode.ko) /boot/kernel directory." I installed the drivers (if_wpi.ko & wpi_ucode.kom directory.

Please feel N.B. wpi(4) != ipw(4) !!! The latter is for the - now ancient - 1st generation centrino cards (2100). The former - supporting the 3945 cards - is in early stages of development (at least the port to FreeBSD is). The latest attempt is located at: http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi Note that this is not yet recommended for consumer use. Eventhough testing is welcome and encouraged, this work is simply not yet in a stable enough state that documentation can be made available. In general, the tarball from the page above supplies you with everything you need (other than a FreeBSD src-tree). There is no need to download additional firmware. The focus, for now, is HEAD so testing in RELENG_6 is not supported. The best advice, as a user and for now, seems to be to try ndis (though I have heard reports that it doesn't work for the ipw hardware), or wait for the driver to hit the tree. > free to be a specific as possible, as I suspect there are many others > who wish to get this working (and are not used to applying > "non-standard" drivers.)
