Adrian:

I have a Thinkpad R51, and it has a 2200BG card installed.  I tried the
command you suggested, but it did not work.  Here is what I did:

installed /usr/pots/net/iwi-firmware/iwi-firmware-2.3_1

kldload -v if_iwi

kldstat shows if_iwi.ko

when I issue iwicontrol -i iwi0 -m bss -f /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware, I
receive: illegal option f

I also tried iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware -m bss,
and I get: Can't load firmware to driver: Device not configured

Any suggestions for help are appreciated.

TIA,


Andy
