Intel(R)PRO/WIreless 3945ABG

Code: 
server:$/usr/bin/apropos 3945ABG
wpi(4)                   - Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 driver

but I just really put in '3945abg driver freebsd' into yahoo and saw 'wpi', aftwards came the 'man wpi'
 
I followed the instructions, also built and installed a custom kernel, but my wireless adapter still not working.

Code: 
# ifconfig wlan0 up scan
ifconfig: interface wlan0 does not exist
Code: 
# ifconfig
wpi0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
	ether 00:18:de:a8:e9:7e
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (autoselect)
	[color="Red"]status: no carrier[/color]

Code: 
# /etc/rc.d/netif restart

You do not need custom kernel for that, it works on GENERIC ...

Show me what you have in /etc/rc.conf file.
 
Code: 
# -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # Fri Jan 15 18:57:11 2010
# Created: Fri Jan 15 18:57:11 2010
# Enable network daemons for user convenience.
# Please make all changes to this file, not to /etc/defaults/rc.conf.
# This file now contains just the overrides from /etc/defaults/rc.conf.

@emosms

Have you created /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf with your networks?
Do wpa_supplicant yels about some configuration file syntax?
Maybe post it here (WITHOUT PASSWORDS).

I entirely forgot that I have set my wirelles router for encrypted connection and there should be some network key entered..
But still, I have bsd 7.2, is wpa_supplicant applicable?
(I am checking that now)
 
@emosms

7.2 you say ...


In 7.2 you do not create wlan0 interface, wpa_supplicant part should be the same, but more things in /boot/loader.conf, check Handbook for details.
