NetBSD -CURRENT / iwn firmware error

[Victor Dorneanu]

Hi everybody!

I just installed NetBSD -CURRENT (5.99.23) and realized that iwn isn't
working properly.

# ifconfig iwn0 up

returns:

Does anybody experience the same issue and has a solution for this?! I
also downloaded the latest iwn firmware
(http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/packages/openbsd/) and replaced the old
one in /usr/pkg/libdata/if_iwn/. But no difference...

Thank you in advance.

I can only report that it worked (and still does) in 5.99.7, even if the
performance is poor (but that's a known issue of the Bergamini(-derived)
iwn(4), apparently). I might have time to upgrade that laptop in a week
or two though, so I can test then.
Cheers,

Oh.. BTW: Which iwn are you using? Intel 4965/5000/... ?!

# lspci
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)


It would be great if somebody could report sth related to Intel 4965 AGN.

This is really strange. Which arch do you use? I'm currently using AMD64.
