Just to get the facts straight and assembled in one place: You are running a somewhat recent RELENG_6, have net/iwi-firmware-kmod=20 installed and "device iwi" and "options firmware" built into your kernel? When do you get the "Can't load firmware" messages? What does kldstat [-v]= =20 say before and after that point? Can you try "kldload iwi_bss" before and= =20 see if that gets you up and running? > On 7/27/06, Mark Willson <mark@hydrus.org.uk> wrote: > > Have you tried using the firmware from iwi-firmware-kmod, rather than > > iwi-firmware.
