The iwn driver requested the iwn6005fw firmware module which is not available in stock FreeBSD 8.2. I've grabbed the firmware out of OpenBSD repository and converted it to a proper loadable module. The interface is working OK for about 2 minutes (with WPA2) and then it bounces UP and DOWN - if I reload wpasupplicant it will associate again and works for 2 minutes then it will drop again. Anyone got this chipset working somehow? - seems like it is supported in OpenBSD. Details here: iwn0: mem 0xd4000000-0xd4001fff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci37 iwn0: MIMO 2T2R, MoW, address a0:88:b4:14:77:20 iwn0: [ITHREAD] iwn0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps iwn0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps iwn0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Thanks, Peter
