Default ifconfig doesnt show wpi0
My friend has a toshiba laptop with a intel 3945abg wireless card.
When she does ifconfig wpi0 doesnt show up.
This is in her /boot/loader.conf
Code:
if_wpi_load="YES"
wlan_load="YES"
wlan_amrr_load="YES"
firmware_load="YES"
wpifw_load="YES"
wlan_xauth_load="YES"
legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
What could be the problem?
She is using freebsd 8.1-Release amd64.

If it doesn't show in pciconf -lv, check if the wireless is enabled in the BIOS.

Most wireless on/off switches are soft switches, but ISTR seeing some that act more like power switches, so check that also.
