The page for the driver currently being developed is http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi but sadly a) the tarballed versions are old and wont compile on -STABLE or -CURRENT (dont know about 6.2-RELEASE though) b) Unless you have perforce access you can only download the more recent development version file by file (from http://perforce.freebsd.org/depotTreeBrowser.cgi?FSPC=//depot/user/benjsc/wpi) c) it doesnt work for me anyway ;) sorry its not better news regards, Vince > The if_ipw kernel module loads without errors. > > I checked the device/driver under windows and that's > what it's showing - Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG, IRQ 17 > > I checked my dmesg output and there is a network > device with IRQ 17, but it states there is no driver > loaded. > > Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.... > > Any suggestions? > > > Thx, > > > jkm > > ps - dmesg and uname output attached > > > > Be smarter than spam.
