I have an Intel wireless 4965 device. It works on some networks but on most it does not. I've noticed that I have a lot of the following messages pretty much non-stop going to console...
Naturally I'm leaning towards this as being a problem.
Here are the modules that my kernel uses for wireless:
Kernel version
iwconfig says I'm associated and signal is 100/100 but I can't get an IP.
I am in the process of starting to learn Unix. What is the major difference in the platforms/hardware? Would it be adventageous for me to start working with a cheap Sparc machine or should I just use my Intel machine to start learning? Any help would be appreciated. (11 Replies)

Where can I download Solaris for Intel PIII platform. I'm trying to learn Unix at home, I have a spare PC and just need to get the OS? I'm an absolute nubie, so maybe this post doesn't even make sense? I tried looking at the Sun site and didn't see anything listed for download (1 Reply)

Just a quicky...
I am learning AT&T x86-64 assembly syntax and boy how different Intel and AT&T are.
At least there are similarities between AT&T and Motorola 68K syntax the way they are laid out so that does make it a little easier.
I have all the Manuals for the Intel Instruction Set and... (0 Replies)

WPI(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual WPI(4)NAME
wpi -- Intel 3945ABG Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 driver
SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:
device wpi
device wpifw
device pci
device wlan
device wlan_amrr
device firmware
Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):
if_wpi_load="YES"
DESCRIPTION
The wpi driver provides support for the Intel 3945ABG Wireless network adapter wpi supports station, adhoc, and monitor mode operation. Only
one virtual interface may be configured at any time. For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).
This driver requires the firmware built with the wpifw module to work.
FILES
/usr/share/doc/legal/intel_wpi/LICENSE wpi firmware license
EXAMPLES
Join an existing BSS network (i.e., connect to an access point):
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 inet 192.168.0.20
netmask 0xffffff00
Join a specific BSS network with network name ``my_net'':
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net up
Join a specific BSS network with 64-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 ssid my_net
wepmode on wepkey 0x1234567890 weptxkey 1 up
Join a specific BSS network with 128-bit WEP encryption:
ifconfig wlan0 create wlandev wpi0 wlanmode adhoc ssid my_net
wepmode on wepkey 0x01020304050607080910111213 weptxkey 1
DIAGNOSTICS
wpi%d: could not load firmware image '%s' The driver failed to load the firmware image using the firmware(9) subsystem. Verify the wpifw
firmware module is installed.
wpi%d: fatal firmware error An unknown error has occurred in the uploaded firmware, you may have to unload/reload the driver to continue.
wpi%d: Radio transmitter is switched off The hardware switch controlling the radio is currently turned off. Data transmission is not possi-
ble in this state.
BUGS
Not all the error messages are documented here.
Background scanning is not currently supported.
