--=-j3WEI0wezHJtuZnIC57S Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sorry if this is not the right ML and please let me know if I need to post it on another ML but it is related to FreeBSD 6-RELEASE and the iwi-firmware The moment I re-installed FreeBSD 6-RELEASE on my Toshiba Tecra A4 Laptop, I grabbed the iwi-firmware from the internet using a nearby machine then installed the driver/firmware successfully and everything seemed to be fine. Later one, I updated the system using portmanager -u and that installed a new iwi-firmware I guess, because I had to agree to the EULA and since then, when I load the firmware, it gives me continuous messages in the console and dmesg about "unknown notification type 15" I noticed one more thing, with the old firmware, it was located in /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware, but the new one is under /boot/iwi-firmware, it took me a while to figure this out! Any help is appreciated on how I can resolve this matter, is it possible to revert back to the old driver? I don't want to upgrade my system to an "unstable" release. I know FreeBSD is stable but 6.1 is not officially for production use yet! Please correct me if I'm wrong.
