Please feel N.B. wpi(4) !=3D ipw(4) !!! The latter is for the - now ancient - 1st=20 generation centrino cards (2100). The former - supporting the 3945=20 cards - is in early stages of development (at least the port to FreeBSD=20 is). The latest attempt is located at:=20 http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi Note that this is not yet recommended for consumer use. Eventhough=20 testing is welcome and encouraged, this work is simply not yet in a=20 stable enough state that documentation can be made available. In=20 general, the tarball from the page above supplies you with everything you=20 need (other than a FreeBSD src-tree). There is no need to download=20 additional firmware. The focus, for now, is HEAD so testing in RELENG_6=20 is not supported. The best advice, as a user and for now, seems to be to try ndis (though I=20 have heard reports that it doesn't work for the ipw hardware), or wait=20 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.)
