Hi,

I've been attempting to use an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 on a
DragonFlyBSD box. I tried under 3.4 and 3.6 but I don't seem able to bring
up the interface. I tried module loading as you can see in the dmesg below
but that appears unnecessary and didn't change the results I'm getting. I
haven't altered the X86_64_GENERIC kernel configuration.

Is the iwn6000 firmware recent enough to work with the 6235?

Thanks in advance for any help/info.
