I'm returning to FreeBSD from a long odyssey od using some other OSs... I have an Asus P1j (I think) Notebook, with a 3945 Wifi Card in it. As I'm a roadwarrior I really need that fix of Wifi :-) but I don't seem to get it working. I tried to follow the Mailing lists but did not find anything related to my problem. I'm running FreeBSD 7.0 or better trying to run it. 1. I can't start the FreeBSD without ACPI turned on, the Kernel just panics. So no luck there :-( dmesg show lots of "wpi error: bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory properly", but nevertheless I get the wpi0 interface. It just does not associate itself with the AP. I think the Network card is not running as the status light is not light (I have some ... indeed very nice ... leds that indicate the status). As I have to download any patches through vista or linux and then rebooting the notebook, I would very much apreciate some pointers (yes I read the Handbook and even the WPI Pages... but somehow I'm just to dumb to get it working and after using linux for almost 4 years since I last touched FreeBSD I'm somewhat unixly challenged :-) I could still use Ubuntu (and I'm quite fond of it) but I yearn for the clean system I came to know FreeBSD was (and is). Thanks for any Pointer.
