[PC-BSD Testing] Follow-up 7.0 Alpha 3 and wifi iwi driver

[Ian Robinson]

Follow-up on laptop Intel PRO/2200 B/G Wireless Network Card "iwi"



1.  Dmesg output:

  ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_scan_sta module by hand for now.

  ieee80211_load_module: load the wlan_scan_sta module by hand for now.

  ifconfig: on: bad value



2.  I notice that the wlan_scan_sta message occurs twice.

  Is that because /boot/loader has two occurrances of
legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1 ?

  ------------------Excerpt from Loader File-------------------------

  legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
  legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1
  wlan_scan_sta_load="YES"
  wpi_load="YES"
  -----------------------------------------------------

3.  Status of iwi0 after boot:
