Could you please tell me what should I do? Ciao, Vittorio The bus_dmamem_alloc message is harmless in your case. Due to limitations in the freebsd allocator, sometimes requesting a 16k aligned block of dma memory fails. As a temporary work around the wpi driver reattempts the allocation. If it truely does fail you'll not get a wpi0 device showing up, which clearly you did :). These warning messages will go away when I sync the next lot of updates to the driver which aren't quite ready yet. Can you describe a little more what you mean by wpi doesn't work?
