That was me having thet problem on my old laptop. Still using that same laptop(I'd like to buy the latest hardware for my home setup, but at this time of the year I like spending my money to go to sky!). I have not tried ipw driver anymore, I have "fixed" the problem by using ndis. Works like a charm, so if you have this problem I suggest you do the same. I have not seen any major commit to the ipw driver, so my take is it is as it was then. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Some time ago I also had a look at the driver source, but it really requires some major knowledge of wlan protocols and device interface, and I lack both. BTW, at present my biggest problem with WiFi is the one described in PR kern/139117: [lagg] + wlan boot timing (EBUSY). I encountered it while trying to configure a wlan(with WPA2) failsafe lagg with the cabled ethernet. Any news on that front? Sorry if I could not be of any more help and thanks for any answers to my query. P.S. I'm also CCing freebsd-net_at_, since the problems seems to be appropriate there. -- Guido Falsi <mad_at_madpilot.net>Received on Fri Nov 27 2009 - 16:33:20 UTC
