Reading back it looks like the DWL-520 (Dlink PCI wireless card) was base=
d on=20
the Prism chipset, but the new "Plus" model (which adds support for 22mbp=
s=20
dlink stuff) is based on another chipset (TI model?)
I just bought a DWL-520+ and it has virtually nothing written on the phys=
ical=20
card and I don't see any marks for TI or otherwise. It's definitely not=20
recognized under Free and NetBSD though.
I'm willing to test / do anything else if someone is working on drivers,=20
otherwise I'll just get a different supported card. Any news?
thanks,
Scott

Hello to all,
I managed to compile my kernel and included the "device pcm" line for my
sound card to work. BSD has found my sound card on pcm0. When I launched
xmms, it couldn't play any sound. So I realised that something is wrong. I
tried to load the snd_sb16.ko driver, but the system reported an error,
something like the driver already loaded. Does anyone know what driver can
communicate with opti 931? Or what driver do I need for my card to work?
Thanks for Your answers,
Tibor

From what I have read in their specs it looks like we need a specific
driver for that device.

I'm having some problems getting FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE installed on a RAID
array attached to an Adaptec 5400s. The boot process sees the array
(albeit incorrectly as a 0/1 - it's a 10) and the instillation process will
allow me to slice the disk, but when it tries to do a newfs I get the
following error:
newfs:/dev/aacd0s1a device not configured.
Has anyone experienced these problems before, or have any suggestions?
Thanks much.
- C.J.

Hi Scott,
AFAIK, it's a TI DSP .... Unfortunately, I bought these cards
thinking
there wouldn't be much difference between the 520 and the 520+.
From what I could find from google before, the TI DSP is a proprietary
design, with no open source drivers available or available in the near
future.
I'd suggest returning the 520+'s and getting a pair of 520's, as I did...!
Good Luck,
Eric

Hello,
I'm creating a custom kernel config file for a Soekris Net4501 SBC.
I'd like to know whether the following line is required or not in the
kernel config file :
# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100
As this board doesn't include keyboard or vga controller, I don't really
know if it's needed or not.
TIA
Eric Masson

Nope, you can remove syscons, atkbdc(ontroller), keyboard and psm.
Don't forget to add "options CPU_ELAN"

Hello,
I can't seem to use my new external firewire hard disk :
(this is with 5.0-DP2, there are the same kinds of symptoms under 4.7-Stable)
My main question is to know where the problems are : is the hard disk dead ?
is the firewire/ATA bridge fried ? are all problems due to the driver ?
Any help very much appreciated
(or hints to get debugging / trace info)
TfH
Here follows a list of problems encountered :
1/ error messages at startup
============================================
when booting, the disk is detected as : (for 5.0-DP2)

I'm a bit disturbed by the "Request aborted" messages
2/ Geometry problems
============================================
furthermore, I can't use more than the first 1024 cylinders of the disk : I
cannot create a BIOS partition above cylinder 1024 (all partitions seem cut
at 1024, when seen from the 4.7-Stable of 5.0 fdisk, even when forcing 3648
cylinders for the size)
for now, I've tried to just use 4 1G partitions :
portable-cur# fdisk da0
******* Working on device /dev/da0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=3648 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=3648 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 63, size 2040192 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 126/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 2040255, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 127/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 253/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 4080510, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 254/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 380/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165 (0xa5),(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 6120765, size 2040255 (996 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 381/ head 0/ sector 1;
end: cyl 507/ head 254/ sector 63
portable-cur#
(why are all partitions active ?)
3/ Write errors
============================================
when I try to write to any partitions, one write operations ends "as stuck",
with an error message such as :

What bridge do you have?
I have an Indigita bridge.. seems to work fine for my DVD writer at
least.. That would be ATAPI not ATA right?

It's complaining there about the serial number inquiry. That's normal, and
you'll notice there are no CAM errors showing up from it. The firewire
code is just being chatty.

Now it's reporting unit attention, which is normal after power on. Again,
we retry the command so it isn't a problem.

It's complaining about the serial number inquiry again, doesn't like it.
That's not a problem.

Looks like some sort of firewire error (i.e. not a SCSI error coming back
from the drive).

Now the drive says it's busy. Note that no CAM error has been printed for
this one -- it probably got retried.

This is a firewire-level problem.

And that's a firewire error of some sort.

You can use dd to read from the drive and see at least whether reads work
correctly.

How do I properly mount a secondary IDE hard drive on v4.5? What are the
appropriate steps for getting the partition(s) on the drive up and running?
I understand if you cannot put this information here as it can be lengthy,
however, any direct URL references on the WWW are very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

Hi All,
will the FreeBSD support new SiS chipsets in the future (and if yes when) ?
Trying to run FreeBSD 4.7 (or 5.0 also) on the MTB ASUS P4S8X with
SiS 648,963 is unsuccessful.
While system is booting it crashes on the following:
ad0: READ command timeout tag=0 serv=0 - resetting
ata0: resetting devices ..
and system freeze up
Is some patch or solution for this ?
Thanks
Michal

done :
portable-cur# dd if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/null bs=64k count=400000
400000+0 records in
400000+0 records out
26214400000 bytes transferred in 1493.586586 secs (17551309 bytes/sec)
portable-cur#
this hopefully means neither the disk nor the adapter are fried - good news
indeed ! (and the read speed is very good : 17Mbyte/sec)

Salutions.
This is my first mail in the list.
I've gotta question, I've gotta problem trying to install a Sierra 33.6 PnP
ISA Modem, I rea the docs, and becasuse the modem is not detected
automatically at boot up, I moifie the sio.c and added the Modem ID aand
then recompiled the kernel, but without sucess, if I run pnpinfo the modem
is detected and works fine under winblows using com3 irq 5 which is one of
the aceptable configurtations showed y pnpinfo,
I also enabled the sio2 in the kernel just in case, but at boot up I've get
the following.
sio2 configured irq 5 not in bitmap of propbed irqs 0.
Is there a way to make this modem to work?
As a mattr of facts, is there a PCI modem that works under freebsd, the
problem is that my external 56k burtn out during anm electrical storm, and
by the moment I've got no mony to buy another , and want to use this ISA
one.
Lotta thankx.

I have an AMI MegaRAID sold by Dell as a CERC ATA100; it has 4
discreet channels of IDE and can do RAID 0, 1, 5, or 10. I've been
running it as RAID 1 for a couple months no problem, with a pair of
WD1200JB 120G disks and a pair of 20G disks -- two logical
partitions.
The man page only talks about the amr driver for SCSI so I'm guessing
that the interface to the computer looks identical to the AMI SCSI
cards, but the disk interface is simply IDE.
chris@pectopah_34% dmesg|grep am
amr0: <AMI MegaRAID> mem 0xfeb00000-0xfeb0ffff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci0
amr0: <CERC ATA100/4ch> Firmware 6.61, BIOS 1.01, 16MB RAM
amrd0: <MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd0: 19068MB (39051264 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal)
amrd1: <MegaRAID logical drive> on amr0
amrd1: 114428MB (234348544 sectors) RAID 1 (optimal)
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/amrd0s1a
For performance, naturally each disk is an IDE master on its own IDE
cable.
I'd like to get another disk or two and use them as hot spares so if
one of the existing drives goes bad the amr controller can just
rebuild the data on the spare. Can such a spare run as the IDE
channel slave without impacting performance of the master? My thinking
is that the controller should send no data to the slave unless the
master dies so it shouldn't slow the master (and hence the RAID
volume) but I don't know enough about how this hardware works.
Any info would be most helpful. Thanks.

Hi All,
We are using Promise RAID controllers built on motherboards. These provide
simple RAID-1 mirroring for us.
We had a disk fail a couple of weeks ago, and it took the whole system down.
The console was still up, but the machine was unresponsive over the network.
Looking at the console, it reported a hard-disk write error on the second
IDE drive in the RAID configuration, on the swap partition.
This was not a good thing, as we had to drive to our data center and find
out what was wrong.
My assumption would be that the RAID controller would respond and
automatically detach a bad disk.
Is anybody else working with the Promise controllers (device ar) in a
production environment and found a way around this?
The only thing I can think of, is to run a cronjob to watch the log file
every couple of minutes looking for, and parsing, any disk failure messages
and then detach the drive and fire off an e-mail.
This is obviously a kludge, and it would be a lot better to pickup a signal
from the ar device driver or something if there is a failure.
Any ideas would be helpful.
- Mike
