Hi folks,

I'm a lazy guy, and don't want to call iwicontrol all the time...

So I installed the "iwi-firmware-2.3_1" from the ports collection
/usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware" in FreeBSD-5.4-RELENG-p2, for a INTEL
pro-2915abg miniPCI card.

the trick is, to load the:
miibus_load="YES" and the
if_iwi_load="YES" command
in "/boot/loader.conf" under NETWORK DEVICES !
this way the:
"if_iwi.ko" is loaded right from the begining !

the "/etc/rc.conf" need the entries:
iwi_enable="YES
iwi_interfaces="iwi0"
iwi_mod_iwi0="bss"

after that my modified:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/iwi.sh dose the rest ;o)

after every boot, the intel pro 2915abg get associated automaticly to
any open wireless network !
This settings works on my home router and at work with a total differend
"ssid" at full speed !

To make it even more conviniens, install the "xwlans" package for X11,
and load it with:
xtoolwait xwlans -i iwi0 -ct -black -n 2 -m 1 -nf
in your ".xsession" file, you get a nice bar in the top left corner,
that informes you constantly about the signal strengt.

PS: it works with "BlackBox" window manager on my laptop, I don't know
if this will work with desktop manager like KDE or GNOME ??!!

THE SCRIPT: (in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/iwi.sh)
there are only a few lines modified, to allow the firmware to load !
