Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG firmware problem (fix ?)
I'm running PCBSD, amd64 version on my Asus A6000 Laptop
Almost everything is running out of the box, except my intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG card.
I have been running Freebsd 7.2 stable with gnome2 on my laptop and the wireless card works out of the box, but has the classical "firmware stuck in state 4" messages.
In PCBSD based on Freebsd 7.1 the system returns an error, it fails on firmware_get for the iwi0 interface.
the only fix i have been able to work out is to do the following:
cd /usr/src/sys/modules/iwifw
make
make install
Reboot and feel lucky.
and changed my /boot/loader.conf to the following:
sem_load="YES"
linux_load="YES"
ulpt_load="YES"
#vesa_load="YES"
#splash_pcx_load="YES"
#bitmap_load="YES"
#bitmap_name="/boot/loading-screen.pcx"
hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
autoboot_delay="5"
kern.ipc.shmseg=1024
kern.ipc.shmmni=1024
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
#legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
#wpi_load="YES"
if_iwi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
iwi_bss_load="YES"
iwi_ibss_load="YES"
iwi_monitor_load="YES"
wlan_scan_ap_load="YES"
wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
wlan_wep_load="YES"
wlan_ccmp_load="YES"
wlan_tkip_load="YES"
after adding my network conf. to the wpa_supplicant.conf and a reboot the wireless card logged on to my freebsd ap :-)
hope this helps
Any comments on the fix is welcome
