This refers to the firmware(9) module that supplies basic support for firmware loading and should be part of RELENG_6 for a long time already. How did you install that kernel? To fix it you can do: # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/firmware; make all install clean which should give you /boot/kernel/firmware.ko. Nontheless it would be interesting why this isn't there already. > I thought the firmware was in the iwi_*.ko files? -- /"\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News
