Hi,

A driver for the Intel 4965 chipset has been committed to FreeBSD -CURRENT 8.0

Is there any way that i can use that driver with 7.0 ?

I think there is a project page related to the original porting efforts, but I think they now recommend waiting for FreeBSD 8.

OpenBSD 4.3 has the driver.. ;)

The dependency of Ruby to run that script is depressing so I manually downloaded the files for you.

MD5 (fbsd-iwn.tar.gz) = f63745b0c6fd4f607db7f4d68afe8fa3

I read all the licence files and I don't see any problems with me uploading it, why they made it hard to get is beyond me.. still, it might not be stable.

Thank you very much :)

Hmm, it complains about the licensing even though i've set the kernel variable.
The strange thing is that the module appears to be loaded, but no iwn0 device under ifconfig =/

You have if_iwn.c ? in kernel source file, what version of freebsd are you using?

Im using 7.0 stable.
EDIT Ok i got it working now, it was a really stupid thing, so i'd rather not talk about it here ;)

But thanks for all the help.

? Click the paper clip at the top of the post box. I just attached the file fbsd-iwn.tar.gz that you put up for download on the file server.

Edit: Sorry, I had the wrong person in the quote box.
