I'm looking for a soundcard that "just works" under FreebSD. So far I've considered the following cards: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 or 192: Although they are cards built mostly for recording, I've read many reviews about the outstanding playback quality in these cards. The drawback is that many users also advice buying a mixer or amp for headphone listening. Asus Xonar Essence STX: This card seems very, very good. However, I only found one topic about them with FreeBSD on opensound.com forum, with no information about its recording capability, which for me is basically needed for voice chat only. The only hope I have about this card is the annoucement made for FreeBSD OSS 4.2 Build 2004 which apparently includes support for Asus Xonar DS/STX. HT Omega Claro Plus+: Many good reviews, but none related to FreeBSD. Couldn't tell so far if this board seems to have any support.

It has plugged a modem Enfora SA-EL, GSM-GPRS, via USB. The modem has been working fine for years. However, since it's plugged to this server, the application that manage the modem hangs every one or two days. I'd like to know if there is a way to know exactly if the problem is the USB ports or the modem failing (because has some years now). Some time I have to reset the USB port (using usbconfig) and it works again. Tha bad thing is that the application hangs and cannot reset the modem (using the %RESET AT command). Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Do you see the following sysctl: sysctl hw.usb.no_cs_fail I would start turn on debugging in the modem driver, compile kernel with options USB_DEBUG, and then see what is printed at the time of failure. --HPS From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Fri Nov 4 19:22:56 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0337B1065670 for ; Fri, 4 Nov 2011 19:22:56 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from amijaresp@gmail.com) Received: from mail-gx0-f182.google.com (mail-gx0-f182.google.com [209.85.161.182]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B9F218FC12 for ; Fri, 4 Nov 2011 19:22:55 +0000 (UTC) Received: by ggnk3 with SMTP id k3so1804799ggn.13 for ; Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:22:54 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=mime-version:in-reply-to:references:date:message-id:subject:from:to :cc:content-type; bh=APEhJfcgylE6XKqDiDaj23v48zGZj2WPm80bQ8slko4=; b=t82VUORFoq4UOKUV1pI1x4xs+BA2yO1VnqsKsWdPncJ4GiUJVyzAbveLFvF+oNYw8r ToEI4clw0RemK3KJBFE71bTx69K1eQ4CzthKLf+crOvCoUl4eEMWY/ucIDs05twmdoz+ Q/F3tBMJruGxfR2Ty8iQtWs2Y0DFosVLkHoZ4= MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: by 10.101.105.4 with SMTP id h4mr3995998anm.123.1320434574831; Fri, 04 Nov 2011 12:22:54 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.100.163.1 with HTTP; Fri, 4 Nov 2011 12:22:53 -0700 (PDT) In-Reply-To: <201111040941.28413.hselasky@c2i.net> References: <201111040941.28413.hselasky@c2i.net> Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 14:52:53 -0430 Message-ID: From: Alberto Mijares To: Hans Petter Selasky Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How to debug USB hardware issues X-BeenThere: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: General discussion of FreeBSD hardware List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Fri, 04 Nov 2011 19:22:56 -0000 Hi Hans, dmesg doesn't say anything when the failure occurs. # sysctl hw.usb.no_cs_fail sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.usb.no_cs_fail' I turned on debugging in the modem driver # sysctl hw.usb.u3g.debug=1 hw.usb.u3g.debug: 0 -> 1 However, I cannot recompile the kernel rigth now for USB_DEBUG. I hope when the failure occurs again the driver be able to say what is going on. I'll be posting the results here. Thanks in advance.

So you have to build a custom kernel or module beforehand for it. I have two servers using this driver right now (one running on 8.2-STABLE and one on 9.0-RC1. (Yes, I know this does not help at all for installation time unless you have a full live filesystem, or engineer your own releases yourself... :/= ) However, for FreeBSD 9.X, it requires a quick modification to the source for it to build (following enclosed instructions) : - Remove the default /usr/src/sys/dev/mfi (by renaming it, for instance) - Put the driver source provided by LSI in its place - Modify mfi.c, the call to psignal() on line 1603 must be altered to kern_psignal() (only step required for FreeBSD 9.X) - After that modification : cd /usr/src/sys/dev/mfi; make - You can then kldload the resulting mfi.ko module. So, to sum up, the LSI driver works, yes. :) Cheers, On 11/06/2011 01:59 AM, linux freaker wrote: > I am facing issue while installing FreeBSD 9.1 RC1 on Dell PowerEdge Se= rver > with MegaRAID SAS 9240 driver. > It is unable to detect the controller.Any idea how to troubleshoot? > I can see that it has mfi.1 driver loaded.(I am not sure if thats mfi/m= ps). > Do I need to rebuilt the kernel with this new driver.If yes, what steps= I > need to follow. > I can see that LSI does provide the new 3.98_FreeBSD_x86_and_x64_driver= s > but uncertain if that would work. > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hardware-unsubscribe@freebsd.= org" --=20 Stephane LAPIE, EPITA SRS, Promo 2005 "Even when they have digital readouts, I can't understand them." --MegaTokyo --------------enig948C9E8D67B03503B5F89B3E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk61fi0ACgkQ24Ql8u6TF2P+wgCfZmZRXJxfgJtvqnHZCTC8ooxp wosAn0tN2KoAetS4whlxyvHitQsUnRpF =ZqO+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig948C9E8D67B03503B5F89B3E-- From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Nov 5 19:14:21 2011 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0FBA4106566C for ; Sat, 5 Nov 2011 19:14:21 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from graudeejs@gmail.com) Received: from mail-bw0-f54.google.com (mail-bw0-f54.google.com [209.85.214.54]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9158A8FC13 for ; Sat, 5 Nov 2011 19:14:20 +0000 (UTC) Received: by bkbzs8 with SMTP id zs8so254293bkb.13 for ; Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:14:19 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=gamma; h=date:from:to:subject:message-id:x-mailer:mime-version:content-type; bh=WJPjg30JxK5bbrevrkmrNypEDAE19rPLhY8pbQRv2Vo=; b=nUgkp+OKoTHGWGlP/FH7P2XajwjImzQ+0OV5o76ncQ98Ys2ue+YqGrpb/TV8o14M5d feB7WZ3GVR/T9+w+ughqitLaAfDZ05i5cL/7qsuQ3U8jZRVZovxBLENXHYzL5TYvMhw9 VcKjq+YdwOSvY3kgVcDa9wFDhYQuf/LYbkPNY= Received: by 10.204.142.151 with SMTP id q23mr5607016bku.75.1320518788243; Sat, 05 Nov 2011 11:46:28 -0700 (PDT) Received: from desktop.pc (mpe-11-155.mpe.lv.

Since I am unable to install FreeBSD 9.0 RC1 how shall I proceed? As you said you need to build a custom kernel or module beforehand, do you mean I need to install FreeBSD 9.0 RC1(or earlier) on VM or other supported hardware.Though I can install it on other hardware or VM, will it be useful to build this kernel there? The Instruction which you provided is nice but which FreeBSD version I need to run on? Well, it would be appreciated if you can provide me with custom ISO Image, if possible.. If not, suggest me and I will follow the steps.
