Hi all, I'm testing the scanning features of Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG build-in Toshiba Tecra M3 using FreeBSD 6.1 and iwi-firmware-2.4_7 (I think that it is the last version, isn't it?). I have noticed a unstable behavior of the wireless interface when I try to scan the access point around it (ifconfig iwi0 scan). Sometimes it provide the report of the detected access points but sometimes it keep waiting a long time without provide any report. Do you have the same behavior with iwi driver and iwi-firmware?, do you know how I can find a solution for that? I have also noticed that the web pages for Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG for FreeBSD (http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html) have a watermark that say "discontinued", does mean that there are another web or project that will continue to improve the iwi driver and iwi-firmware? Do you know any information about that? Cheers, Johnny
