Download at the same place, file: > 20070131-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz Unfortunately, i must report that this last version still does not work for me. Even worse the computer is flooded with error messages to the point it is hard to reboot. These are like so: Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=92 flags=0 type=131 len=20 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=93 flags=0 type=157 len=244 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=94 flags=0 type=130 len=24 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: scanning channel 14 status 1 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=95 flags=0 type=131 len=20 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=96 flags=0 type=132 len=16 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: scan finished nchan=14 status=1 chan=14 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=4 idx=136 flags=0 type=128 len=8 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=97 flags=0 type=157 len=244 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: rx notification qid=96 idx=98 flags=0 type=130 len=24 Feb 3 00:11:31 rose kernel: scanning channel 36 status 1 continually repeating and the WLAN light never lights up. For me the driver 0070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz as mentioned in the postof Gilbert Cao is the only one that works, and works very well. I am just using it now. My computer is a Sony Vaio VGN C1 in 32 bits mode. -- Michel Talon
