Hi there,
To whom it may concern:
INTEL released in March 2009 a new version 3.1 of its firmware version for
the WLAN iwi device (Pro/Wireless 2200BG).
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php
http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/firmware.php?fid=8
On my 7.2.RC2 desktop PC (without WLAN) I noticed that in
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwi/ipw2200_bss.fw.uu
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwi/ipw2200_ibss.fw.uu
/usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwi/ipw2200_sniffer.fw.uu
is still the old v3.0 iwi firmware inside.
This fw generates after some hours of operation error messages like
"iwi0:scan stuck" and finally the network connection will be disconnected.
I've tested fw v3.1 this week on my FBSD6.4 laptop: No problems, no "scan
stuck", no side-effects. Brilliant.
Great. If anyone can also confirm it works on current then I will
commit.
I have been using the new firmware for a couple of days on current
with this device:
i...@pci0:2:1:0: class=0x028000 card=0x27218086 chip=0x42208086 rev=0x05
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'MPCI3B driverIntel PRO/Wireless 2200BG'
class = network
No problems observed.
$.02,
/Mikko
