I'll try to explain how I configured my wifi. 1. Switched the Wireless on. (And checked in Windows :P). 1a. Made sure that I've intel wireless chipset. 2. Added following line to /boot/loader.conf if_iwi_load="YES" 3. Installed iwicontrol port 4. Reboot 5. and then the command, which will be just silent iwicontrol iwi0 -d /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware -m bss 6. sysinstall - configured iwi0 interface to use DHCP, no IPV6. You can do it from gnome -> Desktop Menu -> Administration -> Networking -> selecting iwi0 adapter and in the properties configured it to use DHCP. 6. Start the interfaces /etc/rc.d/netif start Which will check for the DHCP offers. Also "dmesg | grep iw" gives me iwi0: mem 0xffdfd000-0xffdfdfff irq 9 at device 12.0 on pci2 iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf iwi0: Please load firmware Finally after configuration shire# ifconfig iwi0 iwi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::212:f0ff:fe0e:dabf%iwi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 192.168.2.188 netmask 0xfffffc00 broadcast 192.168.3.255 ether 00:12:f0:0e:da:bf media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (OFDM/24Mbps) status: associated ssid foss.in channel 11 bssid 00:0f:cb:a1:cd:ff authmode OPEN privacy OFF txpowmax 100 protmode CTS bintval 100 Ofcourse the status is associated because there's a wireless access point.
