I have seen the modules, but I wasn't sure if they needed to be loaded via loader.conf or if this would happen automatically. So for the OP, firmware is not the problem, as "ifconfig -a" already stated that the iwn0 and wlan0 devices are available. He's probably kust lacking the crazy configuration details that the wireless network requires. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
