after I installed the new nvidia video driver, my system was finally going to suspend to RAM. Resume on the other hand made the system crash. I figured out that this was due to the if_iwn.ko. Interestingly, even adding the driver to rc.suspend and reloading the module manually after resume makes the system crash...!?
The driver works perfectly fine otherwise.

Yeah, that's what I expected, caps aren't restored correctly.comfortableodo said:Hello,

I'm not aware that this is in 8-stable already, mind giving it a shot? It seems to be related.
Basic support (as in you're able to use it) for 6300 series cards should be in 8-stable and head. There are a few features missing, though, that shouldn't matter that much. Please let me know if that works for you.CalBear96 said:I was redirected over here from another thread regarding the Intel Centrino 6300 card. Will this patch for the 5300 work for the updated card?
Thank you, I will. My new laptop is about to be ordered and after I get it I will be sure to post results. I just wanted to make sure that FreeBSD would work with the majority of the hardware found on the new computer. I currently use Ubuntu on my old laptop, but would like to learn more about "what's under the hood" and thought BSD was a good choice. Especially since it was being developed while I was at Berkeley.bschmidt said:Basic support (as in you're able to use it) for 6300 series cards should be in 8-stable and head.
