intel 3945abg wireless

[livingdaylight]

Hello,

I've already posted this in general, but realize that this may be the more appropriate place for this question.

this is a clean and fresh install of pc-bsd 1.4 on a lenovo R60e. It has the intel 3945ABG wireless network card. Unfortunately, it is not detected or working for one reason or another.

ifconfig output:
%ifconfig

maybe this helps. Anyhow, first day with pc-bsd ever and it would be a shame having come this far not to be able to get it working on this laptop. Otherwise, it worked out of the box with Ubuntu and i'll go back to that if i have to.

thank you in advance

Alas, the driver for your card isn't available in FreeBSD 6.x yet. I tried building the driver, but it failed.

The name of the driver is wpi. I would keep an eye on it until it has been backported to 6.
