After finding out the chip's numbers with pciconf -lbcev I added one line to if_iwn.c, recompiled the module and it worked. Please find attached the output from `svn diff` in /usr/src. Required steps in order to get it working are documented in the forum post mentioned above. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Patch attached with submission follows: Index: sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn.c =================================================================== --- sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn.c (revision 243502) +++ sys/dev/iwn/if_iwn.c (working copy) @@ -93,6 +93,7 @@ { 0x8086, 0x0886, "Intel Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150" }, { 0x8086, 0x0896, "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130" }, { 0x8086, 0x0887, "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 130" }, + { 0x8086, 0x088e, "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235" }, { 0x8086, 0x08ae, "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100" }, { 0x8086, 0x08af, "Intel Centrino Wireless-N 100" }, { 0x8086, 0x4229, "Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965" }, Index: sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn6000g2b/Makefile =================================================================== --- sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn6000g2b/Makefile (revision 243502) +++ sys/modules/iwnfw/iwn6000g2b/Makefile (working copy) @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ # $FreeBSD$ KMOD= iwn6000g2bfw -IMG= iwlwifi-6000g2b-17.168.5.2 +IMG= iwlwifi-6000g2b-18.168.6.1 .include <bsd.kmod.mk> >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
