I don't think you read and followed the port's instructions: |You must choose the correct mode depending on how you want to |use your adapter. | |For instance, to download firmware for BSS mode: | | # iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss | |The port has installed a startup script (iwi.sh). Add these lines |to /etc/rc.conf to use it : | | - iwi_enable (bool) : defaults to "NO", set it to "YES" to | use the startup script. | - iwi_interfaces (str) : defaults to "iwi0", override it to | change to interface names list (optional). | - iwi_mode_<iface> (str) : defaults to "bss", possible values | are bss, ibss and sniffer (optional).
