That's no longer useful.

Of course, I installed net/iwi-firmware-kmod first. When I found information about iwicontrol utility and get it via net/iwi-firmware port. But I did not install older modules. So, iwicontrol shows incorrect stat for now? Is there any other tool to get statistic from iwi device? >> On another FreeBSD box with 6.1-release and same version of >> wpa_supplicant, but with another USB wireless device (ural) all works >> fine. > I reproduced your setup with a Linksys-54abg and a 2915ABG running a > recent RELENG_6. Works like a charm - see attached. Thanks for feedback, I'll try to play with my home Linksys WAG54G ADSL WiFi router with the same auth modes. >> Wireless connection in winxp on this laptop works fine too. >> Any ideas? > If you do have firmware-iwi-kmod and things are still not working properly > you should try the following: > 1) Disable WPA on AP and see if you can attach w/o wpa_supplicant > 2) See if you can attach w/ wpa_supplicant (key_mgmt=NONE) > etc. ... to find out which part really is the culprit.

As you can see in my previous reply, I got successfull connection, but still have strange things while reconnecting, and sometimes it takes a lot of time. :( Thanks for your feedback, anyway. -- Andrew N.
