It should be built as a kernel module. In 7.x it is already included to the base system, so there is no need for the port. As written in iwi(4), include the following devices to the kernel configuration, ----- device iwi device pci device wlan device firmware ----- and make sure that the iwifw module is built. If you have no 'makeoptions MODULES_OVERRIDE=3D""' directives in the kernel configuration, then you should already have the module. If not, add the 'iwifw' to the MODULES_OVERRIDE contents. The actual module should be in the /boot/kernel, named iwifw.ko. Your error messages indicate that you likely have no /boot/kernel/iwifw.ko. Of course, your actual mileage may vary. For the custom kernels, make sure that you have some 802.11 stuff included: ----- device wlan_wep # 802.11 WEP support device wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support device wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support ----- The actual devices depend on your needs, but it is safe to include them all -- you can never know what encryption you'll be using. --=20 Eygene _ ___ _.--. # \`.|\..----...-'` `-._.-'_.-'` # Remember that it is hard / ' ` , __.--' # to read the on-line manual =20 )/' _/ \ `-_, / # while single-stepping the kernel. `-'" `"\_ ,_.-;_.-\_ ', fsc/as # _.-'_./ {_.' ; / # -- FreeBSD Developers handbook=20 {_.-``-' {_/ # --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkkPKLkACgkQthUKNsbL7YhozwCZAVlxj1lSuPHVDLWhq/9TDT85 BtIAmwaFhOYQbNVIMZ5VW7eio4rRERqJ =uff+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --r5Pyd7+fXNt84Ff3--
