It would also be worth setting both net.wlan.debug and net.wlan.0.debug sysctls to -1, but I don't think these are available in RELENG_5. > > As far as I can tell, this driver is not longer updated, the developpement > > is done in BSD source trees (look at the file modification date). > > Any idea how easy it is to port over to 5.x? I think it's mostly impossible as the iwi(4) should be using the new Sam Leffler's net80211 framework which is not going to be MFC'd to RELENG_5. I believe you should definitely try -CURRENT.
