freebsd stable - Jan 2007 - FreeBSD 6.2 ipw3945 on HP Pavilion dv6000

Hi All,

I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE on HP Pavilion dv6000. I have a problem with
intel 3945 wireless card. Simply, kernel didnt detect any ipw* device. When 
I'm loading a module if_ipw nothing happen. I tried also to compile this 
driver static into the kernel. No results :( 

I installed /usr/ports/net/ipw-firmware


Any ideas?


Thank you in advance,

here is my dmesg output:

I can't help you specifically but often the output of
`pciconf -lv` is useful to the developers.

From the ipw(4) manual page:

     ipw -- Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 IEEE 802.11 driver

i.e. 3945 hardware is *not* supported by this driver - sorry.  There is an 
ongoing effort to port a driver called wpi(4) to support this hardware, 
details at: http://www.clearchain.com/wiki/Wpi  But this is in an early 
stage of development.  Testing is welcome, however.  An additional 
possibility is the ndis framework - see ndisgen(8).

There are already answers in this thread: the ipw driver does not
support the intel 3945.
However, there is a work-in-progress driver (wpi) at
http://people.freebsd.org/%7Eflz/local/wpi/

which I'm using on a Acer Aspire AS5672 laptop with good results. I'm
even using WPA encryption. YMMV. 
For me, the driver only works with acpi disabled, but I think the
reason for that have more to do with my laptop and bios /acpi issues. 

If you want more information, search the archives of the freebsd-mobile
mailinglist for "intel 3945".
