Hey guys!

after a long fight to discover how to configure my wireless adapter,
finally someone kind has diverted me to the page of
http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/iwi-freebsd.html

First of all, I found iwi and ipw
and im not sure whats the diffrence or what should i configure.

However i took the rist to configure iwi,
i have done
# cd /usr/ports/net/iwi-firmware/
# make install clean

and its done fine,
then #kldload -v if_iwi
and it load the driver fine, and i could see it in kldstat

but when i do
# dmesg | grep iwi
nothin in there!

I tried the same steps with ipw and no results from dmesg also..
ALso iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /usr/local/libdata/if_iwi
Or
ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -f /usr/local/share/ipw-firmware/ipw.fw
it returns the result to no such file.

So basically,
first step of make install clean of the port and kldload went fine,
no third step, im stuck in here..
ifconfig -a
still wont show any device..
even if i have iwi or even ipw enable in rc.conf

Anyone can tell me what to do in my third step?

thank you
Marwan
