Do you know any information about that? Please use iwi(4) from RELENG_6 (soon to be 6.2), which has many=20 improvements and bug fixes over the version that was shipped with 6.1. =20 Note that it uses the firmware(9) subsystem to load the firmware image,=20 so you will have to change to net/iwi-firmware-kmod from ports - as=20 described in UPDATING. The latest firmware version - IIRC is 3.0. =2D-=20 /"\ Best regards, | mlaier@freebsd.org \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | mlaier@EFnet / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News --nextPart1260778.V81C61jfGK Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBE/wQ+XyyEoT62BG0RAuXJAJwLjUWTRVy/o4s25dUZvVwUeb/seQCcCFw+ H9xRA+zSuNilE2G75RAIa4s= =TlZ1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1260778.V81C61jfGK--
