Getting wpi to work

["Nuno Antunes" <nuno.antunes@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm trying to get the wpi wireless nic on my laptop to work.

I downloaded http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/wpi.tbz and
http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/~sephe/wpicontrol.tbz, hooked them to the
build and they compiled and installed fine.

After kldloading the module, the card was correctly detected but when
I loaded the firmware with wpicontrol and tried to ifconfig up the
interface, the following messages were generated.

May  8 19:48:20 class kernel: wpi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG> mem 0xd21000

May  8 19:49:35 class kernel: wpi0: could not set txpower

I'm willing to get my hands durty on the code, but I'm afraid I just
don't understand enough of it. I will gladly test any patches, though.

Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks,
Nuno
