If you use ipw please try a new version at: http://www.freebsd.org/~sam/ipw-20060710.tgz This code should work with wpa_supplicant, recognize beacon miss (i.e. roam), implement the rfkill radio switch, etc. It should work on both HEAD and RELENG_6. There are still some rough edges as the ipw firmware has some quirks but I believe it's an improvement over what's in the tree. Beware of bugs; it's only been lightly tested. Note that you'll need the ipw firmware packaged as modules. This is the way things are in HEAD but not RELENG_6. The ipw-firmware-kmod port currently won't allow installation on a RELENG_6 system; you'll need to defeat the check in the Makefile to install the necessary firmware. If you hit issues please try to collect a debug log by setting sysctl debug.ipw=1 (or higher if needed); msgs go to the console. Sam
