I tried the command you suggested, but it did not work. Here is what I did: installed /usr/pots/net/iwi-firmware/iwi-firmware-2.3_1 kldload -v if_iwi kldstat shows if_iwi.ko when I issue iwicontrol -i iwi0 -m bss -f /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware, I receive: illegal option f I also tried iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /usr/local/share/iwi-firmware -m bss, and I get: Can't load firmware to driver: Device not configured Any suggestions for help are appreciated. TIA, Andy
