Hi:

I have a problem loading the driver for Intel 2200BG Wireless NIC,
loading modules if_iwi and iwi_bss I see the following in dmesg:

iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 0xb0107000-0xb0107fff irq 10 at
      device 10.0 on pci6
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:16:6f:93:c9:75
firmware_get: failed to load firmware image iwi_bss
iwi0: could not load firmware

last two lines repeat. The firmware file in /boot/firmware ...

Kernel is 6.1-STABLE, source cvsup'ed three days ago. Problem occurs
with GENERIC as well as custom kernel config.

I have tried both installing iwi-firmware-kmod and building from this
source:

  http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/new_iwi/20060315.both.tgz

and

  http://people.freebsd.org/~mlaier/new_iwi/20060418.both_nofw.tgz

(iwiNG) But no difference.

Any help on how to solve this is appreciated.

Thanks, Erik
