I have a Toshiba Satellite A665 laptop running 8.1 on amd64.
The laptop comes with an Intel® Centrino® Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 wireless card.
With device iwn and variations of device iwn | device iwnXXXXfw compiled into the kernel, I keep getting error 22 - failure to initialize firmware - upon boot.
With the following in rc.conf and testing on a public/open network:
iwn is associated, but wlan0 reports "no carrier".
dhclient reports link down.
Since I am getting error 22, I suspect that the firmware I need isn't available in /usr/src/sys/contrib/dev/iwn.
Is there any way of getting the appropriate firmware so I can use this adapter? Any help would be much appreciated.
