That was me having thet problem on my old laptop. Still using that same
laptop(I'd like to buy the latest hardware for my home setup, but at
this time of the year I like spending my money to go to sky!).
I have not tried ipw driver anymore, I have "fixed" the problem by using
ndis. Works like a charm, so if you have this problem I suggest you do
the same. I have not seen any major commit to the ipw driver, so my take
is it is as it was then. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Some time ago I also had a look at the driver source, but it really
requires some major knowledge of wlan protocols and device interface,
and I lack both.
BTW, at present my biggest problem with WiFi is the one described in PR
kern/139117: [lagg] + wlan boot timing (EBUSY).
I encountered it while trying to configure a wlan(with WPA2) failsafe
lagg with the cabled ethernet.
Any news on that front?
Sorry if I could not be of any more help and thanks for any answers to
my query.
P.S. I'm also CCing freebsd-net@, since the problems seems to be
appropriate there.
