Hence I've done a port of the NetBSD driver wpi (20070106 rev) for the Intel3945ABG wireless card to FreeBSD Many thanks to Damien for writing the NetBSD driver in the first place and the initial FreeBSD port which I referenced extensively. The driver is available at: http://www.clearchain.com/~benjsc/download/20070106-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz (dynamic dns host, so just retry later if it's down): Please let me know if you have any issues and I'll try to address them. I'm not sure how well it will work on -stable, I'm running FreeBSD wolf.clearchain.com 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Dec 13 16:09:21 CST 2006 benjsc@wolf.clearchain.com:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64 and don't have a -stable machine for testing. Those not using -current, be sure to remove #define WPI_CURRENT in if_wpi.c before compiling. This email was sent through the driver :) Cheers, Benjamin
