I'm having trouble getting wireless to work on my FreeBSD laptop.
I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. My wireless device is Intel
PRO/Wireless 2200BG.
After typing "ifconfig iwi0", I get the following:
iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:16:6f:91:d5:58
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect
status: no carrier
ssid "" channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b)
authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF bmiss 10
scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7
roam:rate11b 1 roaming MANUAL bintval 0
Now I (repeatedly) receive the following error messages in my xconsole:
firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
iwi0: could not load firmware
My /etc/rc.conf contains:
ifconfig_iwi0="WPA DHCP"
My /boot/loader.conf contains:
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
After typing "kldstat", I receive the following (note that iwi_bss.ko exists):
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 18 0xc0400000 97f830 kernel
2 1 0xc0d80000 6a2c4 acpi.ko
3 1 0xc3e3c000 22000 linux.ko
4 1 0xc408f000 6000 i915.ko
5 1 0xc40a2000 f000 drm.ko
6 1 0xc4280000 f000 if_iwi.ko
7 1 0xc42ae000 30000 iwi_bss.ko
Please help me figure this out. I've been trying to get wireless to work
for 3 days now, and I've searched and searched for a solution. Let me
know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Daniel
