Hello,
I'm trying to setup my wireless on FreeBSD 9.0-p3 amd64 and i get the
following
error:
wpi0: fatal firmware error
pciconf -lv:
wpi0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x028000 card=0x10518086 chip=0x42228086 rev=0x02
hdr=0x0
0
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection'
class = network
Detected as:
wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xfc000000-0xfc000fff irq 17 at
device 0.0 on pci3
According to man page is an unknown error uploading the firmware. I've
thought
about licensing issues with the firmware. Man page doesn't say anything
about
legal framework, so i think it's not needed but still i tried adding to
loader.conf:
legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
No difference.
I tried unloading and loading the wpifw module as recommended by man page, but
even
after destroying all interfaces and putting down wpi0 i still can't unload
the
module because it's busy.
rc.conf config:
wlans_wpi0="wlan0"
ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP ssid testwifi country ES"
wpa_supplicant.conf:
network={
ssid="testwifi"
psk="secret"
}
Any ideas on how can i fix this problem?
Thanks a lot.
Regards.

CCing Benjamin Close as he ported wpi(4) driver to FreeBSD.

If i specify country ES it fails to load the firmware, but if i don't touch country and leave it as default (US) it works as expected. Is it fixable or should a note be added to BUGS section of the man page? I can create a man page patch if needed. -- La prueba m?s fehaciente de que existe vida inteligente en otros planetas, es que no han intentado contactar con nosotros.
