Hiya! I'm just working out the build kinks. The driver built fine; but the firmware images are a bit .. special. Specifically: KMOD= iwl6000g2bfw IMG= iwlwifi-6000g2b-17.168.5.2 where's that particular firmware version? There's a 6000g2b in linux-firmware, but I don't know if the driver requires _this specific version_. :-) Thanks! adrian On 22 May 2013 08:48, Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > During 2011, we started developing a FreeBSD driver for the > > * Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 > * Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless-N 100 > * Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 > > devices. > > This fell wayside, and wasn't really completed (e.g. rate scaling, > thermal throttling) but here we are releasing the code anyway.
