iwi0 2200 can't get to work

U

userseven

I have gone through many threads and links and tried reading the man page and can not get this iwi0 to connect. Most threads say it should be built into the 8.2 kernel. I've gone through a loop of scenarios that have all failed any help appreciated.

I get the

Code: 
iwi0:timeout waiting for (null)firmware initialization to complete
iwi0: could not load boot firmware (null)

I've tried iwictl to enable the transmitter but it appears it's not installed.
 
Post #2 suggests that
Code: 
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
was not added to /boot/loader.conf. See iwi(4).

Now it sounds like it may be booting into single user mode, but details are scarce.
 
I do have the legal statement in the rc.conf file. Things went bad when I put the
Code: 
wlans_iwi0="wlan0"
in the rc.conf.

I did have a typo on it but thought I fixed it.
 
# fsck -y -t ufs
# mount -u /

Then fix whatever's whatever's wrong, probably /etc/rc.conf. Then exit to continue booting.
 
after running
Code: 
ifconfig wlan create wlandev iwi0 inet DHCP ssid my_net \
		   wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up

many of these
Code: 
calcru runtime error

ifconfig: string to long
iwi0:need multicast update callback

Slow down! First, create wlan0. Then set up your WEP stuff, if you absolutely can't use WPA. Then run dhclient(8) on it. You can automate all this with wpa_supplicant(8).

Had it set up in there the first time then was having trouble. Will try again.

Yeah, I was using wpa. Just started looking at too many things. Finally am wireless, pinging google, all good now. Can relax somewhere off the wire to finish configurations.
