Sometimes it does not join my home network. I do ifconfig wi0: down, then ifconfig wi0: up, and it joins my network but it does not pull an IP address from my access point. I looked at the man pages for ifconfig and wi and found nothing about how this is done. Here is a hint. When I installed my system and chose wifi networking the installer wrote this in my rc.conf: ifconfig_wi0="dhcp ssid Oz" Yes, my network's name is Oz. No, I am not the wizard. Can I use this quoted phrase when I invoke ifconfig manually? I see ssid documented on the man page for ifconfig, but not dhcp.

Actually, the problem is in the wi driver; it isn't properly integrated with the 802.11 layer so devd isn't receiving the necessary events to trigger starting dhclient. Noone seems to care about the driver and it's hard to get worked up about 5 year old cards when a new one that does 11g can be had for US$20.

In theory dhclient shouldn't need to be called manually. The fact that it appears to be needed indicates that the wi driver fails to set it's link state correctly and thus to pass information up to devd which would start dhclient. -- Brooks --JWEK1jqKZ6MHAcjA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFH3sT7XY6L6fI4GtQRAkliAJ0akmtFuLYpRdSlRHolVbu8qJoaPACfdKm9 CBHLogQw21uyh4QwlNkytxg= =N3kd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --JWEK1jqKZ6MHAcjA-- From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Mar 17 20:00:08 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2FABB1065671; Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:00:08 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from a.j.werven@student.utwente.nl) Received: from mx.utwente.nl (unknown [IPv6:2001:610:1908:1000:204:23ff:feba:632a]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id A0CE98FC16; Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:00:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from a.j.werven@student.utwente.nl) Received: from [127.0.0.1] (vpn180053.student.utwente.nl [130.89.180.53]) by mx.utwente.nl (8.12.10/SuSE Linux 0.7) with ESMTP id m2HJxIKS013253; Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:59:20 +0100 Message-ID: <47DECDA1.3060801@student.utwente.nl> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:59:29 +0000 From: "Alphons \"Fonz\" van Werven" User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 (Windows/20080213) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Brooks Davis References: <200803170751.m2H7pMQW020344@yoda.pixi.com> <47DEC0F0.5090100@student.utwente.nl> <20080317192236.GC38485@lor.one-eyed-alien.net> In-Reply-To: <20080317192236.GC38485@lor.one-eyed-alien.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-UTwente-MailScanner-Information: Scanned by MailScanner.

I have something like that on my Acer laptop (Aspire 5672). Network drivers (wpi and bge) fails to attach unless I disable acpi. Unfortunately, acpi is necessary for other important things (thermal control, cpu speed control) so running without it is not an option. I have troed a lot of things to fix this (suggested by other people), but no luck so far. I think it is due to a bug in bios / acpi.

IIRC, the patch was to fix stability issues, but anything is worth trying. You will find that patch in the archives for this mailing list, I think. Good luck, and please report your findings here. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Mar 19 06:03:08 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id DCBCC106566B for ; Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:03:08 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from bsdfan@nurfuerspam.de) Received: from mail.gmx.net (mail.gmx.net [213.165.64.20]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 258808FC1E for ; Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:03:07 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from bsdfan@nurfuerspam.de) Received: (qmail invoked by alias); 19 Mar 2008 06:03:06 -0000 Received: from dslb-084-063-058-045.pools.arcor-ip.net (EHLO [192.168.1.100]) [84.63.58.45] by mail.gmx.net (mp032) with SMTP; 19 Mar 2008 07:03:06 +0100 X-Authenticated: #931807 X-Provags-ID: V01U2FsdGVkX1/RLsEFwUjRvntvJWYSpJcdZT4D6OKmWKDAgQfAmM vETTAV3Y70+ks2 Message-ID: <47E0ACB5.6050509@nurfuerspam.de> Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 07:03:33 +0100 From: Markus Dolze User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Sam Leffler References: <20080315133937.139370@gmx.net> <47DBF93A.3060905@freebsd.org> In-Reply-To: <47DBF93A.3060905@freebsd.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Y-GMX-Trusted: 0 Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ath card with two antennas and rfkill question X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 06:03:09 -0000 Sam Leffler wrote: > Markus Dolze wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I recently got a Compex WLM54G mini-pci card for my Toshiba 6100.

I installed Windows XP and tested with some Atheros' driver as well as with the one Toshiba supplies and none worked. The RF stays always on and the "wireless on/off hotkey" on the keyboard doesn't work either. So don't expect this to work on FreeBSD.

I have an Asus P1j (I think) Notebook, with a 3945 Wifi Card in it. As I'm a roadwarrior I really need that fix of Wifi :-) but I don't seem to get it working. I tried to follow the Mailing lists but did not find anything related to my problem. I'm running FreeBSD 7.0 or better trying to run it. 1. I can't start the FreeBSD without ACPI turned on, the Kernel just panics. So no luck there :-( dmesg show lots of "wpi error: bus_dmamem_alloc failed to align memory properly", but nevertheless I get the wpi0 interface. It just does not associate itself with the AP. I think the Network card is not running as the status light is not light (I have some ... indeed very nice ... leds that indicate the status). As I have to download any patches through vista or linux and then rebooting the notebook, I would very much apreciate some pointers (yes I read the Handbook and even the WPI Pages... but somehow I'm just to dumb to get it working and after using linux for almost 4 years since I last touched FreeBSD I'm somewhat unixly challenged :-) I could still use Ubuntu (and I'm quite fond of it) but I yearn for the clean system I came to know FreeBSD was (and is).

The timeouts are related to the firmware not being able to reset the tx ring. Normally this isn't too bad as the first thing after resetting the tx rings is to stop the firmware and reinit it. Whilst it won't cause a crash, it still a bug that needs fixing.

Before I go on, a big mahalo (thanks) to everyone with advice on how to get my Lucent Gold wifi card working better. Much better now. My Dell Latitude D830 has a built-in wifi interface which Dennis Melentyev said might work with the wpi driver. I followed his advice and the instructions on the wpi man page, but no luck yet. Here is my entire /boot/loader.conf file, which includes stuff for the sound card (which does not send output through the built-in speakers, which is not much of a loss). sound_load="YES" snd_hda_load="YES" # enable ATAPI/CAM driver for CD-ROM atapicam_load="YES" # enable wpi wireless driver for Dell internal legal.intel_wpi.license_ack=1 if_wpi_load="YES" wlan_load="YES" wlan_amrr_load="YES" firmware_load="YES" wpifw_load="YES" Does it matter what sequence these come in? Here the output of kldstat: Id Refs Address Size Name 1 19 0xc0400000 926ed4 kernel 2 2 0xc0d27000 4a5ac sound.ko 3 1 0xc0d72000 14324 snd_hda.ko 4 1 0xc0d87000 4d20 atapicam.ko 5 1 0xc0d8c000 f140 if_wpi.ko 6 1 0xc0d9c000 25f60 wpifw.ko 7 1 0xc0dc2000 6a1c4 acpi.ko 8 1 0xc5987000 22000 linux.ko I noticed some things not listed, wlan, wlan_amrr, and firmware. Just for fun I tried loading them manually, and got this: # kldload wlan.ko kldload: can't load wlan.ko: File exists The other two, wlan_amrr, and firmware, do the same. I suspect that means those modules are configured into the kernel. ??? When the system boots I see no sign of activity from wpi0. It does not appear in /var/run/dmesg.boot or /var/log/messages. Is there a log file for loader.conf? The computer has an LED that is on in Windows (it comes on about half way through the boot sequence), but remains off when I boot into FreeBSD from power-on. The slider switch on the side of the computer does not switch on the radio. If I go into Windows, then restart and select FreeBSD, the LED remains on but with no change, still nothing in the logs or in the output of ifconfig. I can load and unload if_wpi without error. I added this to /etc/rc.conf: network_interfaces=bge0 wi0 wpi0 to try to force recognition of wpi0 but no change. (bge0 is the built-in wired Ethernet NIC.) Any suggestions?

Attached is a collection of data on my setup (note driver version is quite old!!!). Have no chance yet to try with newer one. There is an ambiguity in wpa_supplicant and rc.conf settings, but I gave both configs just to be fair. AFAIU, rc.conf is used ATM. Also note, that I have no AP at work, so device is not associated in the logs.

I've just managed to upgrade to RELENG_7. Internal WiFi generally works for me: device is present, air scanning works. Not checked for AP connectivity though. Please, let me know if you have any progress with configs/etc. PS. D830 is pretty good thing except sound not working for loud and some microphone problems are there. Also, do not know if BlueTooth and any of card slots are working. 2008/3/20, Dennis Melentyev : > Hello Gary, > > Everything looks reasonable.

I used to get those errors (you will see this in the configs I pointed you to above) but wpi worked anyway. The latest patches that have been floating around on freebsd-net@ solve the problem (and a host of others, too). I don't know if they've been MFCd back to 7.0 yet but they will be. http://people.freebsd.org/~thompsa/wpi_releng7.diff Good luck - Yousif From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Mar 20 21:21:40 2008 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.freebsd.org (mx1.freebsd.org [IPv6:2001:4f8:fff6::34]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 755C61065744 for ; Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:21:40 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dennis.melentyev@gmail.com) Received: from wf-out-1314.google.com (wf-out-1314.google.com [209.85.200.169]) by mx1.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 426AD8FC17 for ; Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:21:40 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from dennis.melentyev@gmail.com) Received: by wf-out-1314.google.com with SMTP id 25so1163577wfa.7 for ; Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:21:39 -0700 (PDT) DKIM-Signature: v=1; a=rsa-sha256; c=relaxed/relaxed; d=gmail.com; s=beta; h=domainkey-signature:received:received:message-id:date:from:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; bh=qBdM9au4ceVHa6I1Vr5TrUPWn7G0101yDY94n6o7Hrc=; b=Wh4/VvToON/mnr4VNEO8Y3dviRxH8TaEnONSaiwCqWq1SQ87dORQG1rkpGu9nh5am5FeHeePCwn9+rOVmlwY3pPOEUbIStrb8mozurUPb/eX3B5w6UTXkAdvGrw+H5u18+fuw5Fx7VBromUCwqI4ESxqlj9jOql+KNoZZ/PXqz8= DomainKey-Signature: a=rsa-sha1; c=nofws; d=gmail.com; s=beta; h=message-id:date:from:to:subject:cc:in-reply-to:mime-version:content-type:content-transfer-encoding:content-disposition:references; b=lhR9lX52PVBPP7ufDTgC4vhFPjdn8wyKjyTWBhBa9C/NXTz8gDZekKORIPQq8bqTOqaXd98P3HlQb/0a5UYUYfgdZAA+rV0TrEPYPHcU2H2A4sSDZ6fFj3AQLg2ZXTL8qmSPyg0FAKrv7dMSUf0bJm3Kuj8tJK9KrmVMRq4IgQ0= Received: by 10.142.72.21 with SMTP id u21mr1869747wfa.82.1206048099935; Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:21:39 -0700 (PDT) Received: by 10.142.84.21 with HTTP; Thu, 20 Mar 2008 14:21:39 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 23:21:39 +0200 From: "Dennis Melentyev" To: "knowtree@aloha.com" In-Reply-To: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline References: <200803200815.m2K8F67R030345@yoda.pixi.com> Cc: Johan Johansen , freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: if_wpi will not work for me X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:21:40 -0000 Checked with AP - everything is fine so far. 2008/3/20, Dennis Melentyev : > Hi again, Gary! > > I've just managed to upgrade to RELENG_7.

Are you running GENERIC or is it your own? Clearly the ifconfig in the startup script works fine, so the issue is why does the ifconfig you enter manually fail?

Touchpad is detected ok by kernel and by Xorg (see below log). Usually everything works. But time to time it just turned off without reason. It may show in dmesg something like: psm0: failed to reset the aux device. psm0: the aux device has gone! (reinitialize) After that touch-pad stops to work and only way to make it work again - reboot system. Restart X does not help, psm driver can't be reloaded. I think it may happens in case of too long delay of user-space response in some cases. For example it happens with big probability when I switch to vt from X and back. ( there is several seconds delay while switch ). So questions are: - is there any way "to reset" psm driver without reboot ? - probably any ideas how to debug what happens ? ... dmesg ... psm0: irq 12 on atkbdc0 psm0: [GIANT-LOCKED] psm0: [ITHREAD] psm0: model Synaptics Touchpad, device ID 0 ...
