Hi all!
I'm new to FreeBSD, having a success install on my DELL inspiron 2200. I've migrated from UBUNTU and was interested to test how it works in FreeBSD.
Some issues I haven't figured out is the wireless thing.
Here is output from pciconf
I've followed instructions from several places (with help from google ;-)) to install the correct drivers.
The issue is now:
... going forever and gives nothing ...
dmesg output is: (only messages about the interface)
Below is my settings in /etc/rc.conf:
And the settings in /boot/loader.conf
And the settings in /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf:
I have also done a ports install from /usr/ports/net/bwi-firmware-kmod/
Still no luck with the wireless. I know there are several working accesspoints.
So help to a FreeBSD newbie would be appreciated.
