This seems to indicate that your interface is the Intel 3945ABG chipset which gives you the keywords you need to search for a driver. IIRC one is in development, they are still discussing how to name it. Previous chipsets use the ipw and iwi driver, check this website: http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ Also, they mention the need to install ports/net/iwi-firmware-kmod Cheers, Erik -- Ph: +34.666334818 web: http://www.locolomo.org X.509 Certificate: http://www.locolomo.org/crt/8D03551FFCE04F0C.crt Key ID: 69:79:B8:2C:E3:8F:E7:BE:5D:C3:C3:B1:74:62:B8:3F:9F:1F:69:B9 _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-mobile To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
