I'm attempting to install FreeBSD on an old Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. I'm unable to get the wireless adapter going.
I know that it's physically OK because it worked with another OS on this laptop just before I installed FreeBSD.
For some reason,
I've edited /boot/loader.conf following the instructions in ipw(4).
... and I think that's all I can report so far. Any suggestions?

For some reason,
pciconf -lbcev
thinks it's not exactly a 2100:
Code:
iwi0@pci0:2:3:0: class=xxx
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'PRO/Wireless 2200BG [Calexico2] Network Connection'
(etc.)
I've edited /boot/loader.conf following the instructions in ipw(4).
ifconfig -l
only shows two devices, bfe0 and lo0. dmesg | grep iwi
returns:
Code:
iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xfaffc000-0xfaffcfff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci2
... and I think that's all I can report so far. Any suggestions?
