As you asked following the output for kldstat -v |
egrep 'wpi|wlan'
freebsd-box# kldstat -v | egrep 'wpi|wlan'
5 5 0xc07c7000 1edf8 wlan.ko
4 wlan
7 1 0xc07e8000 26414 wpifw.ko
5 wpifw_fw
8 1 0xc080f000 1b10 wlan_xauth.ko
6 wlan_xauth
9 1 0xc0811000 2d08 wlan_wep.ko
7 wlan_wep
10 1 0xc0814000 6d04 wlan_ccmp.ko
8 wlan_ccmp
11 1 0xc081b000 4000 wlan_tkip.ko
9 wlan_tkip
I try to use kldload, and the result make me believe
that I'm missing the wpi driver or part of it.
freebsd-box# kldload if_wpi
kldload: can't load if_wpi: No such file or directory
freebsd-box# kldload wlan_scan_sta
kldload: can't load wlan_scan_sta: No such file or
directory
I'm thinking to reinstall freebsd maybe I did
something wrong from the beginning.
greetings
