Hello
I just installed OpenBSD 6.8 on a Toshiba Tecra S1. It is a fresh
install, so i can't say if it worked on previous OpenBSD versions (I
have seen something in the mailing list about that). the BIOS has no
special options regarding the wireless card.
The laptop has this network card:
ipw0 at pci2 dev 4 function 0 "Intel PRO/Wireless 2100" rev 0x04: irq
11, address 00:0c:f1:1f:b2:a0
I installed the firmware with fw_update. I try to bring the interface
up, I can set the nwid, but it never connects.
I set the WEP password and it does not get saved if I check back with
ifconfig.
If I try to scan, nothing is shown, I get no errors on the console/dmesg.
Also I notice the LED does never blink, there is no activity on the card
I tried enabling debug and I see:
ifconfig debug ipw0 list
ifconfig: SIOCDIFADDR: Device not configured
what am I missing? some magic sysctl?
Thank you,
Riccardo
