Which Intel wireless to load?

[matthewp]

The Wireless guide doesn't explain how to find out what wireless card you have:

When I run pciconf I see that my only "class=network" device is vendor = "Intel Corporation". How do I find out my specifically which of the Intel drivers is needed?

If you execute pciconf -lbcev, it will show the device details, including the device driver attached to it when the system booted. If the device is unsupported you will see a "none{0,1,2,N}@" listed for the device. The FreeBSD Hardware Notes shows the currently supported wireless devices and their drivers:

[i386, amd64] Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 MiniPCI network adapter (ipw(4) driver)
[i386, amd64] Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG/2915ABG MiniPCI and 2225BG PCI network adapters (iwi(4) driver)
[i386, amd64] Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN IEEE 802.11n PCI network adapters (iwn(4) driver)

What driver does pciconf(8) show attaching to your device?
