I'm having trouble getting wireless to work on my FreeBSD laptop. I'm running FreeBSD 7.1-RELEASE. My wireless device is Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG. After typing "ifconfig iwi0", I get the following: iwi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:16:6f:91:d5:58 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: no carrier ssid "" channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b) authmode WPA1+WPA2/802.11i privacy ON deftxkey UNDEF bmiss 10 scanvalid 60 bgscan bgscanintvl 300 bgscanidle 250 roam:rssi11b 7 roam:rate11b 1 roaming MANUAL bintval 0 Now I (repeatedly) receive the following error messages in my xconsole: firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss iwi0: could not load firmware My /etc/rc.conf contains: ifconfig_iwi0="WPA DHCP" My /boot/loader.conf contains: wlan_scan_ap_load="YES" wlan_scan_sta_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" wlan_ccmp_load="YES" After typing "kldstat", I receive the following (note that iwi_bss.ko exists): Id Refs Address Size Name 1 18 0xc0400000 97f830 kernel 2 1 0xc0d80000 6a2c4 acpi.ko 3 1 0xc3e3c000 22000 linux.ko 4 1 0xc408f000 6000 i915.ko 5 1 0xc40a2000 f000 drm.ko 6 1 0xc4280000 f000 if_iwi.ko 7 1 0xc42ae000 30000 iwi_bss.ko Please help me figure this out. I've been trying to get wireless to work for 3 days now, and I've searched and searched for a solution. Let me know if you need more information. Thanks, Daniel
