Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 6205a

[Peter Toth]

Hi there,

I have a company laptop which comes with the advanced centrino intel
chipset see bellow.

The iwn driver requested the iwn6005fw firmware module which is not
available in stock FreeBSD 8.2. I've grabbed the firmware out of OpenBSD
repository and converted it to a proper loadable module.

The interface is working OK for about 2 minutes (with WPA2) and then it
bounces UP and DOWN - if I reload wpasupplicant it will associate again
and works for 2 minutes then it will drop again.

Anyone got this chipset working somehow? - seems like it is supported in
OpenBSD.

Details here:
