X-Filter-Version: 1.9 (medusa.kfu.com) Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I switched to a Linksys WMP11 for the external antenna. It improved the signal strength in my humble abode, but now reliability has gone way down. I back up a couple machines overnight on the wireless segment, and in the last couple of mornings, the hostap machine has been locking up for 30 seconds at a time. dmesg says this: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc02/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc03/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc0e/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc2a/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc01/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc85/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc28/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc23/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc24/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc2a/0; last status 800b wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc80/0; last status 800b wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. and any interaction with the card is doomed until reboot. This is with -stable. The card looks like this: wi0: mem 0xe5800000-0xe5800fff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:06:25:09:8b:ea wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.01.00, Station 1.04.09 Any ideas? I'd hate to have to put the Prism 2 card back in, since it has a crappier antenna and I'd have no use for the new card.
