I think you want the wi driver. You can load it with 'kldload if_wi'. awi is a special driver for the developers to use to try to resolve some issues with a specific chip-set and is only for use if the normal wi driver won't work. I don't think it support Prism chips. > Now when I boot the machine I get the following in dmesg: > > ugen0: Compaq Computers Compaq WLAN MultiPort W200, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2 ugen is a generic USB device.

No. faith0 is the IPv4 to IPv6 pseudo device. You have no wireless device. It should configure as wi0 if it's a PCCard. I'm not too sure about what it will look like if it's USB. > But when I run: > > brown2# wicontrol -f 7 > wicontrol: SIOCSWAVELAN: Device not configured > > So, what steps have I left out? Or am I confused? Just a bit confused. If this does not fix things, please include a full dmesg output and full kernel config or pointer to where they can be found. -- R.
