You can probably pop in the card and start reading and writing its memory with the appropriate mapping calls. Then it is "simply" a matter of figuring out what the memory layout is. So...the kernel probably "supports" the card now, it's just that no one knows the data layout....

FWIW, you're not the only person who is seeing freezeups in 2.2.6. I'm not sure what's going on, although it could be the new PCIC code. (This is no fault of the author, but I got no feedback from any of the mobile users so I assumed it was OK to merge into stable.) > Now it doesn't seem to work outside of the dock. > > I've got the following errors: > > wd0: interrupt timeout: > wd0: status 50 error 0 > wd0: interrupt timeout: > wd0: status 50 error 1 I didn't touch the WD driver, so it must be a change to 2.2.6. Can you try the old wd.c from 2.2.5 to see if that makes any difference? Also, this might be the reason it's freezing.

Date: Tue, 05 May 1998 12:58:31 -0600 From: Warner Losh Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Greetings, I'm looking for a driver for an IBM LAN Entry 8227 card, IBM part number 92G7787. It is a wireless LAN card that operates in the 2.4GHz range. The core NIC is apparently Intel i82593. I didn't see anything in the tree that seems to support this, but I thought I'd ask. In some Linux sources I found a comment that suggests that this chip is much like the 82586, but unlike the i82595. I figured that if there was a driver, I could find it using altavista, but no joy. Intel's site didn't even have this chip that I could find... These cards are going for $30 a pop at various places on the net. I'd like to be able to get them and dewire parts of my house...

I know for sure that CL-PD6729 (I have 29 on my laptop) was not supported on -current at the beginning of this year. Infact, I wrote a little patch to enable it, but I was having lot of problems at reboot times (after shutdown -r): it basically works, but the kernel paniced on each even reboot (odd ones were fine). I really don't know what caused that, as I'm not able to understand FreeBSD internals at that level. Anyway, I'm running with the patch since January on -current, and I had no problems but the shutdown -r one.

Lucent slashed their prices by 1/3 but this would represent a price cut more like 19 out of 20. wlp does use the i82593 Intel controller. Also note that the wlp0 driver of choice is not to be found in the PAO but the slightly less buggy and more featureful version found at http://www.cs.pdx.edu/research/SMN which assumes the PAO. Multicast for example is in and works. Perhaps Mr. Hosokawa could update the PAO in that regard? regards, Jim Binkley jrb@cse.ogi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Wed May 6 11:33:50 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id LAA18176 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Wed, 6 May 1998 11:33:50 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from yard-sale.village.org (ys2.village.org [204.144.255.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id LAA18150 for ; Wed, 6 May 1998 11:33:39 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from imp@village.org) Received: from harmony.village.org [10.0.0.6] by yard-sale.village.org with esmtp (Exim 1.82 #1) id 0yX90d-0002ee-00; Wed, 6 May 1998 12:33:39 -0600 Received: from harmony.village.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by harmony.village.org (8.8.8/8.8.3) with ESMTP id MAA13413; Wed, 6 May 1998 12:33:22 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199805061833.MAA13413@harmony.village.org> To: Bill Trost Subject: Re: Support for this IBM Wireless WAN card?

Weird. Those lines shouldn't be causing any problems at all, since neither of them do anything. Unless, somehow the interrupt handling in the PCIC controller was somehow causing bogus interrupts to occur causing the hard-drive to freak out. > Any other ideas? Have you changed anything since last Thursday. Maybe > I could try just adding in your changes. I don't believe so. > Would putting ktrace in help in debugging this? KTRACE is for debugging user-land code, so it probably wouldn't help.

I took a look at this driver, and it uses the same NIC that this IBM card has. No clue if that will make the goofy thing work or not, but at least it is a start. : Hmm, you have waterproofed your Libretto? Nope. Just keep it far enough away from the hot tub to not get wet.

XFree86 is pretty smart about laptops now, just as long as you don't over-spec your display's horizontal and vertical sync rates. Treat it as a 800x600 display (or whatever size it is). I just set up a Dell LX the other day and had to remind myself of this while I looked at a scrambled display. You might try using xf86config and select your chip type out of the card database.

There appear to be some implementation-related issues with the 6555x parts and newer Toshiba laptops; the Satellite Pro 440 also demonstrates some very unpleasant symptoms both with Xaccel and XFree86. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Thu May 7 20:24:10 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id UAA07807 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Thu, 7 May 1998 20:24:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from mail.webspan.net (root@mail.webspan.net [206.154.70.7]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with ESMTP id UAA07770 for ; Thu, 7 May 1998 20:24:06 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from opsys@mail.webspan.net) Received: from orion.webspan.net (orion.webspan.net [206.154.70.5]) by mail.webspan.net (WEBSPAN/970608) with SMTP id XAA25089; Thu, 7 May 1998 23:18:54 -0400 (EDT) Date: Thu, 7 May 1998 23:24:00 -0400 (EDT) From: Open Systems Networking X-Sender: opsys@orion.webspan.net To: Doug White cc: Mike Del , freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: I really need some help setting up xfree86 on my toshiba315CDS notebook computer In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org On Thu, 7 May 1998, Doug White wrote: > On Thu, 7 May 1998, Mike Del wrote: > > Interesting.

Just a comment before everyone goes to great depths here to help. *IF* this is the same person I think it is, I told him he needed to get the specs for his vert and horiz rates which he doesnt have. He just guessed at some and thats part of the problem here. He doesnt have his card specs. He's using "imaginary" numbers :) So he needs to get his cards specs first before proceeding. If this isnt the person that asked for help then ignore this. Chris -- "I don't do favors, I accumulate debts" ===================================| Open Systems Networking And Consulting.

Date: Thu, 07 May 1998 21:40:38 -0600 From: Warner Losh Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I purchased a CardPort ISA Card 2-Slot Desktop PC Card Adapter made by Eiger Labs, Inc from www.necx.com for about $110 or so. I rebooted my machine and after some fiddling with IRQs and such I got it to recognize the card as follows: May 7 21:13:51 harmony /kernel: PC-Card Intel 82365 (5 mem & 2 I/O windows) May 7 21:13:51 harmony /kernel: pcic: controller irq 5 I was then able to insert and remove cards from both of its slots and have the kernel report card insertion/removal for the cards that I inserted. The 3Com 3C589D that I have came up and seems be configured (I didn't have an extra ethernet drop to really test this out on). The NecX part number is 719805 and the Vendor Part number is ESA-2000. Likely you can find them cheaper than I did at necx, but I got mine the next day. I've not tried it under OpenBSD yet, but I'll have to try it on my OpenBSD/arc box just to see if it would work.... Now that hurts my brain, PCMCIA cards on an old ARCBIOS MIPS based PC! :-) Warner To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-mobile Fri May 8 17:33:30 1998 Return-Path: Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id RAA21624 for freebsd-mobile-outgoing; Fri, 8 May 1998 17:33:30 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from yard-sale.village.org (ys2.village.org [204.144.255.52]) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id RAA21604 for ; Fri, 8 May 1998 17:33:27 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from imp@village.org) Received: from harmony.village.org [10.0.0.6] by yard-sale.village.org with esmtp (Exim 1.82 #1) id 0yXxZv-00045a-00; Fri, 8 May 1998 18:33:27 -0600 Received: from harmony.village.org (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by harmony.village.org (8.8.8/8.8.3) with ESMTP id SAA09951; Fri, 8 May 1998 18:32:56 -0600 (MDT) Message-Id: <199805090032.SAA09951@harmony.village.org> To: Bill Trost Subject: Re: Support for this IBM Wireless WAN card?

He has about 400 of them left. Mine are in the mail and will arrive when I get back from vacation middle of next week. I hope to have at least a partial port of the wlp driver done against the -current sources done shortly. It would be way cool if they were just relabeled wavelan cards, but I kinda doubt it. I also hope to do some experimentation with directional antennas to see if I can boost the range from 400' into the 30,000' range.

The RoamAbouts do not have a concept of a "Cell Leader", which these cards need. Still, these would be great for around the house.

However, I have no information on the radio modem, nor how to talk to it. I'm getting these cards on the off chance that they might actually work with wlp or will be easy to get to work with wlp. It is a risk for me, but only a $60 risk. I paid more than that for my MIPS PC that is currently happily running OpenBSD/arc and monitoring the outside temperature.... I see two uses for this card: 1) roaming my house and 2) putting some kind of directional antenna and getting good throughput accross town to a friend's house.
