Because I want to run a baseline GENERIC kernel and only load those kernel= =20 modules I need w/o having to recompile the whole kernel to test it. :) =20 It doesn't matter if it's in the kernel anyway (tried that too); at bootup= =20 after iwi0 is detected, it gets to /etc/network.subr, tries to 'ifconfig up= '=20 the interface before invoking wpa_supplicant, and it spits back "iwi0: Plea= se=20 load firmware". Chicken, meet egg... :( A workaround I have is to have it load the firmware at the top=20 of /etc/network.subr, before ifconfig is invoked. That works for my WPA=20 network... to a point, it associates, dhclient gets a lease, and it works=20 well until the next WPA rekey in around five minutes, then it loses signal. And when I try associating w/ a WEP network, console just spits out a strea= m=20 of "iwi0: fatal error". All that's defined in that case is: network=3D{ ssid=3D"Homeport" (SSID is broadcasted) scan_ssid=3D0 key_mgmt=3DNONE } =2DPeter =2D-=20 [ http://www.plosh.net/ ] - "Earth Halted: Please reboot to continue" --nextPart1607948.vUKOhIgpgZ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDMGxOuffIhmkXw7kRAsEbAKDbUMEGIFpT7Nomh1wXV77HphJjigCgltzS +PE/0WWR9MgHxTNgZexeCh0= =c2dP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1607948.vUKOhIgpgZ--
