I rebuilt my kernel the same day I installed freeBSD. I followed the instructions on the handbook, and all process was successfully completed. Later, I realized that the wireless card wasn't working, and after some posts I found out(with your help) ath0 wasn't suitable for the wireless card. Because of that I decided to "rebuild again" the kenel, but this time I removed all wireless devices from the configuration file and used the /boot/conf.loader so configurated: #hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" firmware_load="YES" if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1 wpifw_load="YES" wlan_xauth_load="YES" wlan_wep_load="YES" wlan_ccmp_load="YES" wlan_tkip_load="YES" wlan_scan_sta_load="YES" wlan_scan_ap_load="YES" #Intel HDA Audio snd_hda_load="YES" After reboot I the freebsd still wasn't able to "see" the wireless card. Following there are the result of parts of the tests you asked me to do: ---------------- freebsd-box# pciconf -lv | grep -B2 -A1 3945 none2@pci16:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x135c103c chip=0x42228086 rev=0x02 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '10418086 Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN controller' class = network ------------------- freebsd-box# kldstat -v | egrep 'wpi|wlan' 5 5 0xc07c7000 1edf8 wlan.ko 4 wlan 7 1 0xc07e8000 26414 wpifw.ko 5 wpifw_fw 8 1 0xc080f000 1b10 wlan_xauth.ko 6 wlan_xauth 9 1 0xc0811000 2d08 wlan_wep.ko 7 wlan_wep 10 1 0xc0814000 6d04 wlan_ccmp.ko 8 wlan_ccmp 11 1 0xc081b000 4000 wlan_tkip.ko 9 wlan_tkip -------------------- freebsd-box# kenv | grep 'wpi' legal.intel_wpi.license_ack="1" -------------------- freebsd-box# ifconfig -v wpi0 ifconfig: interface wpi0 does not exist -------------------- regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
