I just updated to the version in ports as of a few days ago, and discovered that the firmware won't stay firm. I can manually load it : iwicontrol -i iwi0 -r Radio is OFF iwicontrol -i iwi0 -k iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /boot/firmware -m bss iwicontrol -I iwi0 -r=20 Radio is ON dhclient iwi0 and it connects. However, attempting to boot (with or without power off) makes it lose firmware. Nothing has changed from the previously-successful configuration in rc.conf and loader.conf. I have however, done RELENG_6 cvsup (a/o last Thursday), world, and portupgrade --all. I did try many combinations of iwicontrol, though not yet ten thousand, and I have checked out the Bergamini web page and forum. Thanks in advance! -- Don Wilde Org 01737 505-844-1126 I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. - Thomas Alva Edison=20 =20
