X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2010 09:23:50 -0000 Hi I've HP Compaq 6715s laptop. I'm trying to get wireless working. The laptop has Intel 4965 4965AGN wireless WiFi PCI-E card 802.11N AGN which is supported by iwn(4). I compiled iwn support into the kernel as suggested by the man page. However, the card doesn't appear in dmesg or in pciconf -lv. The laptop has a wireless toggle button, which is supposed to enable/disable wireless. There is also an LED, which lights on when wireless is enabled, and goes off when wireless is off. Well, at least this is what should happen. On boot the LED is on. If I press the button to disable wireless, the LED goes off and in dmesg I see: ugen0.2: at usbus0 (disconnected) When I switch wireless back on again I see in dmesg: ugen0.2: at usbus0 Does this mean that wireless sits on USB bus? Does this give me a clue about how to debug the problem further? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
