Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org The dmesg "wi0 not found" message is normal; the card shouldn't be found at boot time by the (nop) ISA probe, but only by the pccard slot-insert- triggered probe. The fact that wicontrol works should mean that the wi driver has found your card just fine. If you don't have a steady green light on your WaveLAN card, then my guess is that your card isn't configured for the right SSID ("Network Name") for your base station. (You have a base station, I assume?) Try the following: ifconfig wi0 down wicontrol -i wi0 -n "" ifconfig wi0 up This will tell your WaveLAN card to connect to *any* SSID it sees. The default configured by the wi0 driver is intended to elicit this behavior, but does not. (Bill Paul: if you're reading, I suspect that a more appropriate default value would be the empty string.) Let me know if this fixes things. If it doesn't, please send the output of wicontrol -i wi0. -Brad, karp@eecs.harvard.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
