------=_Part_797_14417613.1206003386461 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hello Gary, Everything looks reasonable. Attached is a collection of data on my setup (note driver version is quite old!!!). Have no chance yet to try with newer one. There is an ambiguity in wpa_supplicant and rc.conf settings, but I gave both configs just to be fair. AFAIU, rc.conf is used ATM. Also note, that I have no AP at work, so device is not associated in the logs. But it does work at home. 2008/3/20, knowtree@aloha.com <knowtree@aloha.com>: > > My notebook is HP Compaq nc2400 running FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE > > > > kldload if_wpi give me > > Mar 18 10:29:34 juba kernel: wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem > > 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff irq 16 at device 0.0 on pci8 > > Mar 18 10:29:34 juba kernel: wpi0: could not allocate memory resource > > Mar 18 10:29:34 juba kernel: device_attach: wpi0 attach returned 6 > > > > and ifconfig show no wpi0 > > > > I have not seen this behaviour mentioned before, so could anyone > > give me some hints, please? > > > > > mvh > > > > johan > > I have been describing related problems in a different thread, but it might > help others if I join this one. > > Before I go on, a big mahalo (thanks) to everyone with advice on how to get > my Lucent Gold wifi card working better.
