Any ideas? > The notification you mentions has had quite a bit of attention on the 'iwi' homesite discussionforum - it seems to be a problem in relationship with the porting onto the FreeBSD platform .. supposedly the most recent iwi-firmware edition should have taken care of the problem. I had until a few days ago the same notifications - but then I re-compiled my system and kernel from 6-Release to 6-Stable (6.1 Prerelease #2 of the 14. of February) + included the iwi-module with the most recent firmware in the kernel. The 'Type 15' has dissapered and the whole setup is 100% stable ... it is my impression that if you load 'iwi' as a module things are less stable (especially when it comes to initial connection with an AP) - but this is not scientifically proven, just a personal subjective experience :-) Gregers Petersen _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
