According to this page -
<http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html> - the ipw driver
should work. I can load the driver, but it doesn't show up in dmesg.
You are mistaken, I'm afraid. This has been discussed a couple of time
already. The ipw(4) driver supports the now already quite dated 2100bg
cards. Support for the new 3945abg is not available - other than
ndis(4) and I don't know if that works or not. OpenBSD has a driver by
the name of wpi(4). This is probably the point to start from if you
were to write a FreeBSD one.
I guess I'm screwed them. I tried to create a module using ndisgen, but
when I try to load the module, it crashes the system and forces a complete
restart.
I'm afraid I don't have the skills to write a device driver.
Thanks for the info.
