Intel Pro/Wireless3945 issue

[dhaneshk k]

Fellow FreeBSDians,

 

  I am trying to configure  my laptop for  wireless connectivity to a broadband connection.

 

these are the steps I followed, I don't know what  I made wrong, please help to fix the issue..

 

1 ) To  /boot/loader.conf

 

 

if_wpi_load = "YES"

wlan_load = "YES"

wlan_amrr_load = "YES"

firmware_load = "YES"

wpifw_load = "YES"

legal.intel_wpi.licence_ack=1

 

save and rebooted the machine

 

and 

 

2) issued the command  ifconfig wpi0 up scan

 

but nothing is reported for  this command

 

 

3) then I checked  the out  put  of    ifconfig

 

it showing  wpi0    but  no carriers  for the device

 

I am using  FreeBSD-7.2 i386 release.  Wireless card is   Intel Pro/Wireless  3945 . (In  Windows XP  it works from this Windows I am sending this mail via   Wireless  access)  Any help  most welcome.

 

thanks in advance

dhanesh
