Hello Tyler, All iwn firmware files are kept in /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwn (if your source tree is in /usr/src). But there are not used as is within kernel. If you wish to use a new firmware file you will need to : - Download firmware you wish here (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/iwlwifi) - untar downloaded file and then uuencode firmware (ie: #uuencode -o iwlwifi-7260-22.0.7.0.fw.uu iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode = iwlwifi-7260-22.0.7.0.fw) - Change file's name in IMG line within Makefile of corresponding = subfolder in /usr/src/sys/modules/iwnfw/ - Rebuild your kernel (or if you remove iwnfw from your kernel config, = just rebuild iwnfw) Best regards Cedric -----Message d'origine----- De=A0: owner-freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org] De la part de R. Tyler Croy Envoy=E9=A0: jeudi 26 d=E9cembre 2013 19:52 =C0=A0: freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org Objet=A0: Checking the current iwn(4) firmware version and upgrading it I'm rather familiar with the FreeBSD source code and buildworld process, = but I don't have a good idea of where binary blobs for chipset firmwares are kept. Is there a document I missed in the handbook or on the wiki which = details where the firmware comes from and how one might be able to experiment = with later versions? Cheers - R.
