edb – can you submit a patch, or an email to bugs@dragonflybsd.org?

If you’re updating the wireless docs, please add “weptkey 1 up” to the examples line in the ath man page where it says to connect to a Specific BSS network with WEP encryption.

I found I had to add “weptkey 1 up” , after failing to get working ath connections, where wpi (on another machine) had used a similar command line with “weptkey 1 up” and it worked fine. When I added it to the example, my ath started working….

The online handbook wpa_supplicant docs have a notice about being wrong, without any info on what part is wrong with the example or what to do instead…

You’re right. I had noticed the changes to the page:

http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/ikiwiki.git/commitdiff/0153d5c6618a4ee5ce241ee00f17faa580eeddb4

But not noticed that the firmware download was part of the old documentation. It sounds like that can be removed completely.

iwi(4) doesn’t need firmware from pkgsrc, because the firmware is in base.

iwi_bss.ko, iwi_ibss.ko and iwi_monitor.ko modules
