Hello,

I'm new to FreeBSD and I have a Toshiba Satellite A135-S4427 equipped with an Intel 3945ABG wireless card. I searched a bit and I added these to /boot/loader.conf - ----CUT if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" wpifw_load="YES" - ----CUT

Now I have a wpi0 interface I tried doing - ----CUT ifconfig wpi0 ssid eMxyzptlk wepkey "0xC1C731EA92AC05B1E7BA6186CF" - ----CUT

but it doesn't associate with the AP all I see in ifconfig is - ----CUT wpi0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:19:d2:42:91:3f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid eMxyzptlk channel 1 (2412 Mhz 11b) authmode OPEN privacy OFF wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 50 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 bintval 0 - ----CUT

my AP is channel 11 so tried to switch manually - ----CUT ifconfig wpi0 ssid eMxyzptlk wepkey "0xC1C731EA92AC05B1E7BA6186CF" channel 11 - ----CUT but it didn't associate this way either

- ----CUT wpi0: flags=8802 metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:19:d2:42:91:3f media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect) status: no carrier ssid eMxyzptlk channel 11 (2462 Mhz 11g) authmode OPEN privacy OFF wepkey 1:104-bit txpower 50 bmiss 7 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS bintval 0 - ----CUT

I don't know where to go from here, I appreciate your help guys

Thanks.

Wael,

you didn't mention what version of the driver you are using, so I'll assume you're using the one in 7.0-RC1. To make you aware, I have a toshiba satellite A135-S4517, and the wpi driver included in RELENG_7_0 doesn't work for me either.

Yes I do have the one Included in 7.0-RC1

Attempts to work through the issue with the person originally porting the driver seem to have stalled, but in following current@ it seems as though others are submitting patches for it recently.

My advice? Hang in there. at some point the hardware will be supported. It seems to work for several implementations of th 3945abg chipset. I can't assume ours is that drastically different.

Jeff

Oh that's too bad :( Hopefully it'll be soon. What about your Texas Intruments MMC/SD reader? I haven't tried mine yet is it working on yours??
