Although both were working happily in RELENG_5 neither one does after the OS upgrade and I couldn't yet figure out why. They fail with very different errors. IPW: michael@mobi:~> kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name [...] 11 3 0xc07c7000 1c748 wlan.ko 12 1 0xc07e4000 2bf0 wlan_wep.ko 13 1 0xc07e7000 851c if_ipw.ko michael@mobi:~> ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -r Radio is ON michael@mobi:~> ipwcontrol -i ipw0 ipwcontrol: Can't retrieve statistics: No such file or directory michael@mobi:~> grep ipw /etc/rc.conf ipw_enable="yes" ifconfig_ipw0="DHCP" However it doesn't associate with my accesspoint (a RELENG_5 machine as hostap). But reading the "wicontrol" output I find this one: Current channel: [ 65535 ] Even when I "ifconfig ipw0 channel 6" this funny value remains. I suspect it could be a firmware problem. I'm loading the firmware from the recent port: michael@mobi:~> pkg_info | grep ipw ipw-firmware-1.3_2 Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 Driver Firmware ATH: Here the fun starts already at the stage of loading the kernel modules: michael@mobi:~> sudo kldload if_ath kldload: can't load if_ath: No such file or directory michael@mobi:~> dmesg | tail -2 link_elf: symbol ath_hal_buildopts undefined KLD if_ath.ko: depends on ath_hal - not available Does anyone have any clue on this? Bye, Michael
