After updating my /boot/loader.conf, it now contains: legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=3D1 iwi_bss_load=3D"YES" iwi_ibss_load=3D"YES" iwi_monitor_load=3D"YES" wlan_scan_ap_load=3D"YES" wlan_scan_sta_load=3D"YES" wlan_wep_load=3D"YES" wlan_tkip_load=3D"YES" wlan_ccmp_load=3D"YES" I no longer receive the error message about failing to load the firmware. However, when I enter "ifconfig iwi0 up scan", I receive the following in the xconsole: iwi0: firmware stuck in state4, resetting Any idea what that means, or what state4 is? (Sorry, I'm very new to FreeB= SD.)
