I must have confused it with another Acer laptop that I bought and configured for my friend a while ago. pciconf says: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:2:0:class=0x028000 card=0x1220185f chip=0x432014e4 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation' device = 'BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller' class= network so it has the non-supported Broadcom adapter. So sorry for all the noise :) Google gave hope to get it working with the NDIS wrapper, and sure, after fighting with it a while, I have a ndis0 adapter now detected. http://dannyman.toldme.com/2005/01/05/freebsd-howto-ndisulate-windows-drivers/ was of good help - although the info there is outdated for 6.0 - one should use ndisgen instead. --Ville ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I did a verbose boot but did not find anything peculiar in that boot message either. When loading the if_iwi module, I get output that confirm it's loading ok. But I don't know how to read all the verbose output that well - I try to get it online so maybe someone can help me? --Ville ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

WLAN not detected on Acer TM 292ECLi
Hi, anyone having WLAN working on an Acer Travelmate 290E? It doesn't seem to be detected at all on my laptop, which is a model 292ECli. As a Centrino laptop, it should have a Intel PRO Wireless 2200BG built in. I installed iwi-firmware from ports, built a custom kernel (world and kernel from -STABLE today) and checked that I have "options pci" and "options wlan" in it, just as man iwi says. I tried to load iwi as module with kldload, at boot time by setting if_iwi_load="YES" to loader.conf, and also tried to build it statically into the kernel. At no time, I get iwi mentioned in dmesg. kldstat says it is loaded when I load it dynamically. Also, the firmware is not found in /usr/local/libdata as mentioned on the iwi-firmware webpage at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html I'm not by my laptop right now so I can't check, but somewhere I read that it is installed in /boot/firmware instead? But the mystery is, why doesn't the adapter get detected at all? Something I've missed? Anyone have ideas? Otherwise FBSD 6.0 is a great release - the first one I have successfully installed on the laptop. I've seen others having problems with Acer 2XX laptops also, so I recommend installing 6.0, and enabling ACPI when booting. Without, at least my panics, but acpi_load="YES" in loader.conf to the resque! --Ville ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
