Re: wpi driver.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply. But ...

Stefan,

I've gotten it to work on 6.2, but you need to get the patched version
(specifically made for 6.2) from this location:
http://www.bsdmon.com/download/20070121-wpi-freebsd.tar.gz
This does NOT compile on FreeBSD 6.2-stable from 12 Mar 2007.
The error is the same.

You will also need to install the wpi-firmware port (not in the ports
tree yet) from a later official release. I'm sorry to say I don't
remember the link for the tar archive that included the port.

Also note that it's still a very touchy driver, and might need to be
unloaded/reloaded to get up and running (at least, that seems to fix
it on my T60). In addition WPA/WPA2 do not work with it (don't know
about WEP as I've never tried).
Not very useful without WPA(2) as I do not want to share my network .. :)

I'm more interested is there something new about the driver with the new firmware, because it was mentioned in
last quarter report, and few other places on the net, but there is nothing new "released".

Thanks,
Ian

I tried the latest drivers from
http://www.clearchain.com/~benjsc/download, but no success :(

I tried and from perforce but I've got this error:
