Hello, I use OpenBSD 4.2 on a FSC Amilo Pro V3205 notebook with an Intel 3945ABG wireless adapter and the following firmware package: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/packages/openbsd/wpi-firmware-2.14.4.tgz
My wireless network uses 11a and 128bit-WEP. I can successfully set the nwid, nwkey and IP with ifconfig and start the interface, but when I try to scan (ifconfig -M wpi0), the wireless light will blink once and immediately I see a "wpi0: fatal firmware error" (or similar) message on the terminal. I tried with an older firmware version as well, but I was unable to set the wep key with it and got firmware errors as well. The killswitch is off, too, otherwise I get a thermal sensor message. Unfortunately I forgot to save dmesg, but I didn't see any additional output save the firmware error. It is a bit difficult, because OpenBSD can't mount jfs and I have to use my USB hdd with an ext2 partition for file transfers to linux. kind regards and thanks in advance for your help Johannes
