When the system attempts = to load the bss driver (for iwi) the process times out before the driver = loads. As a result, the wireless card does not function.=20 Is there a way to ask iwi to use a longer timeout than the default, so = that the card has time to respond to the driver's request? (The card = functions fine with windows XP and linux.) If they are of interest, the error message and my loader.boot file = follows. Thanks. =20 Best Regards, John from /var/log/messages: (system response to the command "ifconfig iwi0 up scan") Jan 30 01:39:02 JohnsThinkpad kernel: iwi0: timeout processing command = blocks=20 for iwi_bss firmware Jan 30 01:39:02 JohnsThinkpad kernel: iwi0: could not load main firmware = iwi_bss --------------- from /boot/loader.conf: #WiFi Config if_iwi_load=3D"YES" wlan_load=3D"YES" firmware_load=3D"YES" iwi_bss_load=3D"YES" iwi_ibss_load=3D"YES" iwi_monitor_load=3D"YES" legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=3D1 ------=_NextPart_000_0048_01C983CF.BEE509C0 Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="John Curley.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="John Curley.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Curley;John;J;Mr. FN:John Curley ORG:Masschusetts Institute of Technology;Chemistry TEL;WORK;VOICE:(617) 452-2517 TEL;HOME;VOICE:(617) 248-3960 TEL;CELL;VOICE:201-314-5066 ADR;WORK:;6-325;77 Massachusetts Avenue Building 6 Room = 325;Cambridge;MA;02139;USA LABEL;WORK;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:6-325=3D0D=3D0A77 Massachusetts = Avenue Building 6 Room 325=3D0D=3D0ACambridge, MA 02=3D 139=3D0D=3D0AUSA ADR;HOME:;;98 Charles Street Apartment 8;Boston;MA;02114;USA LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=3DQUOTED-PRINTABLE:98 Charles Street Apartment = 8=3D0D=3D0ABoston, MA 02114=3D0D=3D0AUSA EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:jcurley@mit.edu REV:20090131T231424Z END:VCARD ------=_NextPart_000_0048_01C983CF.BEE509C0--
