I have an acer laptop with an intel 2200 wifi; when I had PCBSD 1.3 installed I could boot from cold and have the wireless start up properly (it's using wpa with a hidden ssid ap). After I installed freebsd 6.2 I cannot get the wireless to come up on first boot. I seem to have to switch the wireless on and then reboot. I think under PCBSD is used to have to do something like sysctl dev.iwi.0.radio=1 in one of the startup scripts to make this work. Now however when I execute that I see a message saying that oid is read only. Is there some way to get this wifi starting properly again?-- Robin Becker various bits of information $ uname -a FreeBSD xxx.net 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 11:05:30 UTC 2007 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP i386 $ kldstat Id Refs Address Size Name 1 15 0xc0400000 70794c kernel 2 1 0xc0b08000 1adb8 linux.ko 3 1 0xc0b23000 e1a8 if_iwi.ko 4 2 0xc0b32000 2d60 firmware.ko 5 1 0xc0b35000 2cf4 wlan_acl.ko 6 1 0xc0b38000 59f20 acpi.ko 7 1 0xc4f27000 4000 logo_saver.ko $ pkg_info | grep iwi iwi-firmware-2.4_7 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Driver Firmware iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_2 Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 Firmware Kernel Module $ cat /boot/loader.conf if_iwi_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_acl_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_ccmp_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" messages ====== initial boot Jun 10 08:53:01 xxx kernel: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb010 1000-0xb0101fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci6 Jun 10 08:53:01 xxx kernel: iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:ce:a1:2e:8e Jun 10 08:53:01 xxx kernel: iwi0: radio turned off ====== after switch pressed Jun 10 08:55:17 xxx kernel: iwi0: radio turned on ====== after reboot Jun 10 09:14:44 xxx kernel: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb010 1000-0xb0101fff irq 17 at device 4.0 on pci6 Jun 10 09:14:44 xxx kernel: iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:ce:a1:2e:8e
Take a look at this thread, it helped me get iwi working on my Fujitsu laptop: http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=48251&page=2&pp=15#postmenu_254754 - Max _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
