Using the > firmware from base shouldn't hurt either. kern.osreldate: 700035 Even better: jarjarbinks:/usr/src:111# cat sys/CVS/Tag D2007.03.31.04.00.00 Do you think it would be worth upgrading ? I saw no relevant commit since yesterday. I've attached my kernel configuration file. It starts from GENERIC and first removes all options/devices I don't need; at the bottom, I add a couple of options and devices I need. /boot/loader.conf: % hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1 % % hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" % debug.cpufreq.lowest=0 % acpi_dsdt_load="YES" % acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/DSDT.aml" % % beastie_disable="YES" % verbose_loading="YES" % % if_bge_load="YES" % legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 Following Florent's advice I began to play with the LKM. I needed to stop devd(8) to workaround the "autoreload" bug. I can then load if_iwi.ko and iwi_bss.ko in _any order_ without any groan from the kernel. However as soon as I start devd(8) or wpa_supplicant(8), the same message appears: % iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss firmware initialization to complete % iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss Thank you for your help.
