HOWTO: Wireless with Intel 3945ABG/4965AGN on FreeBSD 8.0
Since handbook covers only method that works up to 7.x series I will add here what to do to have working wireless Intel 3945ABG on FreeBSD 8.0.
You need to add these things to these files: /boot/loader.conf Code:
if_wpi_load="YES" Code:
wlans_wpi0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP" Code:
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel network={ ssid="network0" proto=WPA psk="5a$$w04d0" } network={ ssid="network1" proto=WPA psk="5a$$w04d1" } It works reliably, I was able to pkg_add -r -v xorg without any problems. To search new networks just type: ifconfig wlan0 up scan EDIT 2009-12-01 To get wireless connection on Intel 4965AGN, it will require the following changes to this cnofiguration: /boot/loader.conf Code:
-if_wpi_load="YES" +if_iwn_load="YES" Code:
-wlans_wpi0="wlan0" +wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="WPA DHCP"
