Re: iwi driver (Problem with Intel 2200BG and PC-engines WRAP)
Problems with the 2200BG continue... I changed to OpenBSD 3.9. The interface looks like this on the box: # ifconfig iwi0 iwi0: flags=8803 mtu 1500 lladdr *** media: IEEE802.11 autoselect ibss (autoselect adhoc) status: no network ieee80211: nwid lala chan 1 100dBm inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 However whenever I use ifconfig to configure it I get these errors in the console: iwi0: timeout processing cb iwi0: could not load main firmware May 13 14:06:20 sphinx /bsd: iwi0: timeout processing cb May 13 14:06:20 sphinx /bsd: iwi0: timeout processing cb May 13 14:06:20 sphinx /bsd: iwi0: could not load main firmware May 13 14:06:20 sphinx /bsd: iwi0: could not load main firmware I have 2.3 firmware installed with 3.0 installed on top of it: # ls -la etc/firmware/ total 1306 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wsrc 512 May 13 13:22 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root wsrc1024 May 13 13:24 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wsrc6472 May 18 2005 iwi-boot -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wsrc 191142 Mar 26 15:29 iwi-bss -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wsrc 185660 Mar 26 15:29 iwi-ibss -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wsrc 12007 Mar 26 15:29 iwi-license -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wsrc 187836 Mar 26 15:29 iwi-monitor -rw-r--r-- 1 root wsrc 16334 May 18 2005 iwi-ucode-bss -rw-r--r-- 1 root wsrc 16312 May 18 2005 iwi-ucode-ibss -rw-r--r-- 1 root wsrc 16344 May 18 2005 iwi-ucode-monitor When I scan with the Nokia 770, I cannot find this WLAN network. Any suggestions? PS. Intel is working on hostAP mode for their ipw2200 driver for Linux, so that might be possible on this card in the future. Risto Varanka http://icct.blogspot.com/ ...

Currently that does not include HostAP mode.

- Forwarded message from Chris Cappuccio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Are you sure the card is installed all the way? Thanks, it must have been this! I thought I had inserted the card properly, but now I reinserted it, checked (again) that both clips were fastened, and booted the box and the interface was there. Unfortunately it seems that master/AP mode is not supported by the driver (is it available on the card?), and ad hoc too is supported only starting with 3.9 (so I'd need to get the snapshot and put it to flashdist). I wonder if it would be even possible to provide access for a Nokia 770 terminal via the ad hoc mode, or whether the iwi driver will add the master mode in the future? Risto Varanka ...
