I'm use FreeBSD CURRENT, ${OSVERSION} is 700024 So, I have laptop HP Compaq nc6320 whith WiFi adapter Intel 3945ABG. When I turning on my WiFi using button on the laptop, I see in dmesg following: | # dmesg tail: | ugen0: on uhub5 Now, I find following site for configure my FreeBSD: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ipw-freebsd.html In this site I see that I should build the port net/ipw-firmware. But I read in /usr/ports/UPDATING: | 20060418: | AFFECTS: users of net/{ipw,iwi}-firmware | AUTHOR: flz@FreeBSD.org | | Some changes in the way ipw(4) and iwi(4) work lead to fundamental | changes in ipw-firmware and iwi-firmware ports. Since these drivers | are now using loadable kernel modules as firmware, two new ports have | been created: net/ipw-firmware-kmod and net/iwi-firmware-kmod. | | You should not be able to install the wrong one since detection is | based on your FreeBSD version. Trying to install the wrong port will | result in an error message (port marked as IGNORE). And when I trying to run make in this port, I get following error: | # cd /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware/ | # make | | ===> ipw-firmware-1.3_8 is now obsolete, | install net/ipw-firmware-kmod instead. | | *** Error code 1 | | Stop in /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware. Ok, now I trying to build ipw-firmware-kmod: | # cd /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware-kmod/ | # make | ===> ipw-firmware-kmod-1.3_1 needs fresh ipw(4), | install net/ipw-firmware instead. | *** Error code 1 | | Stop in /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware-kmod. This looks like a joke... So in the /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware-kmod/Makefile I find folliwing lines: | .if !( ${OSVERSION} > ${MIN7OSVERSION} || \ | ( ${OSVERSION} < 700000 && ${OSVERSION} >= ${MIN6OSVERSION} ) ) | IGNORE= needs fresh ${DRIVERNAME}(4), install net/${DRIVERNAME}-firmware instead | .endif My ${OSVERSION} is 700024, ${MIN6OSVERSION} and ${MIN7OSVERSION} are 999999. It's seems to me this is a bug, and exclamation should be removed... Does anybody know whete I can find FRESH howto about installation of this drivers? Why I see USB messages about ugen, when I turning on WiFi adapter? What should I do to configure WiFi? -- Sensory yours, Eugene Minkovskii Сенсорно ваш, Евгений Миньковский
