I have Dell Inspiron 9300 notebook with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG card in it. I followed the instructions found at http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html Port installation was successful, I installed version 2.4_7. Then I loaded kernel module # kldload if_iwi, my card was detected. But when I tried to execute: # iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss The answer is iwicontrol: Can't load firmware to driver: Invalid argument When I try to kill firmware # iwicontrol -i iwi0 -k, the error is iwicontrol: Can't kill firmware: Invalid argument When I try to get up the interface by # ifconfig iwi0 up , the message on system (first) console prints firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss iwi0: could not load firmware >How-To-Repeat: On machine with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG # cd /usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware/ # make config install # kldload if_iwi # iwiconfig -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss iwicontrol: Can't load firmware to driver: Invalid argument >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
