Hi, (this is a repost from forums as one of the developers suggested I report this issue here) Freshly installed FreeBSD 9.2-RC3 today on Acer TravelMate 3000, having trouble setting up WiFi. Having read the iwi(4) I have these entries in /boot/loader.conf: if_iwi_load="YES" iwi_bss_load="YES" iwi_ibss_load="YES" iwi_monitor_load="YES" legal.intel_iwi.license_ack="1" kldstat shows that the selected modules have been loaded. However when doing ifconfig iwi0 up scan it yields this: iwi0: timeout waiting for (null) firmware initialization to complete iwi0: could not load boot firmware (null) I've switching radio on/off, no result. No other changes have been made to the system after freshly installing it off the memory stick. Same results with 9.1-RELEASE: root@:/root # ifconfig iwi0 up scan iwi0: timeout waiting for (null) firmware initialization to complete iwi0: could not load boot firmware (null) Driver works just fine on OpenBSD however (judging from the manual it seems to originate from the same code base).
