I'm having some weirdness with the 802.11 card. It's a Intel Pro 3945ABG, which appears to be supported by the wpi driver. Rebuilding the kernel with wpi support causes the NIC to be detected and a wpi0 interface is created, but when I do "ifconfig wpi0 up" I get a message that the radio transmitter is turned off. ? I've searched through the BIOS and the card is enabled everywhere I can find. Perusing both the ifconfig and the wpi man page hasn't clued me in to what I can do to turn the radio on. My google searches have turned up nothing but pointers to the wpi driver source code.

Ehhh, tried that way, yes, it was detected as sio4 device now, but still no any response: sio4: at port 0x400-0x408 irq 16 function 1 config 63 on pccard0 sio4: type 16550A sio4: [FILTER] > cheers > BMS -- Vladimir B.

Following your advice I set sysctl debug.wpi=-2 and copied an extract of the resulting, quite long, /var/log/messages into http://www.de-martino.it/FreeBSD/log3945/log.txt What's wrong with my 3945?

The Eee appears to use the same wireless card as your Acer laptop, and I have instructions on how to install a patched version of the Atheros hardware abstraction layer from the Linux MadWifi project. The information you'll need is under the Wireless Networking section. -- James L. Lauser james@jlauser.net Owner, jlauser.net Hosting Services http://jlauser.net/
