You can try Damien's experimental 3945 driver (wpi) at: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/wpi-freebsd.tgz This is on -current (supposedly it works on 6.1, but I don't know about 6.x support for the firmware module): % tar xzvf wpi-freebsd.tgz % cd wpi-freebsd/ % make && make install % kldload firmware % kldload wpi_ucode % kldload if_wpi wpi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.0.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255 inet6 fe80::213:2ff:fea5:ce09%wpi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4 ether 00:13:02:a5:ce:09 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/6Mbps) status: associated ssid XXXXXX channel 6 bssid 00:14:bf:21:85:23 authmode SHARED privacy MIXED deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit wepkey 2:104-bit wepkey 3:104-bit txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 It isn't perfect, has "rx tail flags" errors, doesn't connect at anything other than 6Mbps for me, causes a "Memory modified after free" error every now and then, so use at your own risk.
