However, I did not manage to make work. At least, it compiles. I have installed, both wpi_fw.ko and the if_wpi.ko, as the README said. wpi_fw.ko lies in /boot/modules and if_wpi.ko in /boot/kernel. When, I "kldload if_wpi", here is a small sample of /var/log/messages Jan 27 10:30:39 vaio kernel: wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xcc= 000000-0xcc000fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6 Jan 27 10:30:39 vaio kernel: bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory proper= ly.

Then, I have "kldunload if_wpi" (and if_wpi seems to be reload, automatically, I don't know why). Same problem, it seems that wpi_fw could not be load (found ?). As a result, no AP is "associated". After a fresh reboot, I have reinstall the custom 20070121 version of mine, and all returns OK. Another strange thing: when "kldload if_wpi" with 20070121 version, and then kldstat, I don't see "wpi_ucode". It seems that wpi_ucode.ko does not need to be loaded, in my case. My wpi_ucode.ko lies in /boot/modules After another fresh reboot, I first moved wpi_ucode.ko to another place. When I "kldload if_wpi", I got the following message: Jan 27 09:47:16 vaio kernel: wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xcc= 000000-0xcc000fff irq 18 at device 0.0 on pci6 Jan 27 09:47:16 vaio kernel: bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory proper= ly.
