Hi All, After getting a new laptop I discovered being tied to a wire when your used to wireless is extremely annoying.
Hence I've done a port of the NetBSD driver wpi (20070106 rev) for the Intel3945ABG wireless card to FreeBSD Many thanks to Damien for writing the NetBSD driver in the first place and the initial FreeBSD port which I referenced extensively.
The driver is available at:
http://www.clearchain.com/~benjsc/download/20070106-wpi-freebsd.tar. gz
(dynamic dns host, so just retry later if it's down):
Mirror'ed at: http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/wpi_port/
Please let me know if you have any issues and I'll try to address them. I'm not sure how well it will work on -stable, I'm running
FreeBSD wolf.clearchain.com 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Wed Dec 13 16:09:21 CST 2006 ben...@wolf.clearchain.com:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
and don't have a -stable machine for testing. Those not using -current, be sure to remove
#define WPI_CURRENT
in if_wpi.c before compiling.
This email was sent through the driver :)
While I'm really happy to see people working on this, isn't this a duplicated effort? This is at least the third attempt to get a wpi(4) driver on FreeBSD (and I'm sure two of them are based on Damien's driver). I might be missing something though.
Hence the extensive CC-list ... I'm trying to get all people involved to talk to each other and coordinate. From what I hear the other drivers showed some problems regarding resource allocation - maybe this one does better ...
[...]
Added Gavin Atkinson to the CC list, he is working on a wpi(4) clone which I'm using at the moment. It has some memory corruption error, but is otherwise behaving quite good.
Regards, Rene
