Intel Wireless 2200BG doesn´t work

Hi All,

I´m trying to install FreeBSD 8.0 on my old laptop Toshiba Tecra. But I don´t get the inbuild wlan card to work (Intel Wireless 2200 BG). Regarding the release notes of 8.0 it should work. When I enter an ifconfig I can´t see the card. Also when I switch off/on the module I don´t see any messages in the log with dmesg.
Then I tried to install the card with ndiswrapper. But I haven´t be able to convert the driver with ndisgen. Because I wasn´t able to convert the .sys-file. Also when I removed the offending lines.

Has anybody a description how I can install the module ?

Regards,

Hi SirDice,

thank you for your advice. Now FreeBSD recognizes the module. But when I try to scan the air, with ifconfig iwi0 scan, I get the message back:
Code: 
ifconfig: unable to get scan results

Any idea ?

Regards,

Hi bschmidt,

I wasn´t able to configure the interface with ifconfig. I will try PC-BSD now.

Thanks,
