Well, not much at this time. I have a serial and a usb dongle from a manufacturer for development. While the serial "just" works, I haven't looked at the USB dongle yet. How hard it will be to support it depends mostly on how the device works. If it presents itself as a serial usb device, then it should be easier. If it is just a "normal" usb device, then support needs to be written for that. I don't know of anyone currently looking into this. I will myself at some point, but really can't give you any timeframe on that. Hope this helps.

The monitor mode changes went in the tree a while ago. I don't believe they were in 5.1-R so you'd need to look in -current.

It seems that bsd-airtools needs attention but I hear the author no longer maintains it. We cannot be expected to change every app that used an old interface. There were some patches floating around a few weeks back that supposedly got the lucent (hermes chips) working, but prism support was not fixed (in my testing at the time).

In 4.8-RELEASE, FreeBSD recognized the slots fine, and detected the cards as well. However, in -CURRENT, it doesn't detect the cards or the slots. In 4.8, the cards were in the mode "PCIC-Compatible" in the BIOS. This mode didn't work with -CURRENT, and so I turned it to "CardBus/16-Bit". -CURRENT recognizes the slots, but whenever a card is present on bootup or when one is inserted (after loading the modules) I get the following page fault: shirayuki# kldload cardbus shirayuki# kldload pccard shirayuki# kldload cbb cbb0: irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci0 cardbus0: on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 cbb1: irq 11 at device 2.1 on pci0 cardbus1: on cbb1 pccard1: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb1 Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode fault virtual address = 0xc64cb000 fault code = supervisor read, page not present instruction pointer = 0x8:0xc15f36b5 stack pointer = 0x10:0xc61d694c frame pointer = 0x10:0xc61d6b64 code segment = base 0x0, limit 0xfffff, type 0x1b = DPL 0, pres 1, def32 1, gran 1 processor eflags = interrupt enabled, resume, IOPL = 0 current process = 502 (cbb0) kernel: type 12 trap, code=0 Stopped at pccard_scan_cis+0x175: movzbl 0(%eax,%edx,1),%eax db> output of dmesg: Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.

In fact I'm waiting for availability of Atheros based cards in Germany. But they are not eben announced on the European Linksys/D-Link/Netgear web-sites (i.e. I do not think, that they'll become officially available soon). (For example: Linksys offers the WRT55AG and corresponding cards in the US, the WRT54G and xxx54G cards in Europe.) Besides, having the TI-WLAN chip supported would allow use of the other half of the cheap 802.11b cards that are not based on the Prism/Hermes chip. You often can't tell, whether you'll receive a supported card or not since many manufacturers changed their card and kept the name (often from Prism to ACX100). So, having ACX100 support in FreeBSD would definitely be a good thing!

Hmmm, did you think the DWL-520+ was supported by the ath driver ? It is not. It's one of those games played by WLAN card manufacturers. They often keep the name of the card, but change chips over time. The DWL-520+ is a 802.11b+ card (i.e. 22Mbps with TI chip). The original DWL-520 was based on the PRISM II chip, according to wi(4). The DWL-AB520 / DWL-AG520 are based on Atheros chips and supported by ath(4). It's worse with other brands. There are lots of card models that used be supported by wi(4) but newer versions of the card use the TI chip without *any* change in the product name ...

What I'm unsure of is how to reverse the process and restore the system.The handbook seems to gloss over that part... andrew From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Jul 22 17:54:12 2003 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 866D737B401 for ; Tue, 22 Jul 2003 17:54:12 -0700 (PDT) Received: from gw.gbch.net (gw.gbch.net [203.143.238.93]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id 571BC43F85 for ; Tue, 22 Jul 2003 17:54:10 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from gjb@gbch.net) Received: (qmail 8904 invoked by uid 1001); 23 Jul 2003 10:54:07 +1000 Message-ID: Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 10:54:07 +1000 From: Greg Black To: andrew morton References: <20030723004807.GA29248@multivac.drewish.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20030723004807.GA29248@multivac.drewish.com> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4.1i; gjb-muttsend.sh 1.4 2003-04-23 X-Uptime: 21 days X-Operating-System: FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE i386 X-Location: Brisbane, Australia; 27.49841S 152.98439E X-URL: http://www.gbch.net/gjb.html X-Image-URL: http://www.gbch.net/gjb/gjb-auug048.gif X-PGP-Key-Fingerprint: EBB2 2A92 A79D 1533 AC00 3C46 5D83 B6FB 4B04 B7D6 X-Request-PGP: http://www.gbch.net/keys/4B04B7D6.asc cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: question about partitioning X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2003 00:54:12 -0000 On 2003-07-22, andrew morton wrote: Please learn how to use the Enter key -- long lines are a PITA.

Before I started digging in I wanted to check with > you and see if you or someone else is already doing this. i'm not aware of any other Bluetooth related work on othe BSD systems. before porting to OpenBSD you should know one thing: Bluetooth stack for FreeBSD is implemented in Netgraph framework. as far as i know Netgraph framework is FreeBSD only. i can see two ways out of this 1) port Netgraph framework to other BSD systems 2) un-Netgraph FreeBSD Bluetooth stack right now i'm slowly moving towards option 2). the goal is to get portable code that all BSD systems can use. Netgraph did a great job for me. i was able to develop working prototype very quickly. right now i'd like to focus on other issues: optimize the code, make it smaller and more user friendly. i also would like to hear people's ideas on how to proceed with this. please feel free to jump in at any point :) > Also, do you have any reccomendations or warnings against any PCMCIA > bluetooth cards? i have two Bluetooth PCMCIA cards: 3COM Bluetooth PC-CARD and Xircom Credit Card Bluetooth Adapter. 3COM card needs special driver + firmware and works well. Xircom card uses standard 16550 UART and sio(4) driver will recognize is modem. Xircom card does not work very well under load (looses bytes - sio(4) FIFO overflow issue). i would not recommend to use PC-CARDs. USB devices are much better. thanks, max __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Regarding the long lines: I'm sorry. My only excuse is that's vi's out of the box behavior and it's not my normal mail program. I also apologize for the stupid question about restore. While the restore manpage was of limited help I managed to figure it out. I would like to add one bit for the archive (and hopefully cancel out some of my new found bad karma). FreeBSD will boot from cylinders greater than 1024 but not by default. Run 'boot0cfg -o packet [drive]' before rebooting after sysinstall.

So far, I'm not impressed. The BroadCom BCM440x ethernet controller isn't supported, and everytime I insert a PCMCIA card, the machine locks. I'm running 5.1-RELEASE, but I want to move to -CURRENT if I can get a network connection. Basically, if the machine is up and running, and I insert the card, it locks (no console messages, nothing). The only solution is to hold the power button down until the machine shuts down.=20 If I have the card inserted at boot time, the machine gets to: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad2s3a Then locks up the same way. I have tried NEWCARD and OLDCARD. I am testing with a Cisco 340, 350, and a Zoom 56K data/fax modem. All behave the same way. I've booted with and without ACPI. I have not tried -STABLE/4.8 yet. Here are my PCMCIA vitals with the following debugs set under NEWCARD: hw.cardbus.debug: 1 hw.cardbus.cis_debug: 1 hw.cbb.debug: 1 cbb0: irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci2 cbb0: PCI Memory allocated: d0200000 cardbus0: on cbb0 pccard0: <16-bit PCCard bus> on cbb0 cbb0: cbb_power: CARD_VCC_0V and CARD_VPP_0V [44] ... cbb0: card inserted: event=3D0x00000000, state=3D00000000 (*) cbb0: Unsupported card type detected (*) (*) I get this message regardless of whether or not I have a PCMCIA card inserted. Even with the above debugs enabled, I get no messages when inserting an actual card. The machine just locks up hard. I'm really hoping there's some hope here. So far, the only good news is that sound works. Thanks for any advice you may offer.

I'm still backing up the disk contents. Knoppix (Linux) doesn't recognize the Broadcomm card, but it does initialize the PCMCIA card OK. Duncan Barclay has a beta driver for the Broadcomm card. See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2003-July/001109.html for more details. Also, I've been given a pointer to a Linux page, http://cabibbo.physics.wm.edu/~bryan/computer/inspiron5100.html, which I haven't read yet. I think the way I'm going to go is: 1. Install 5.0-RELEASE (because that's what I have on CD-ROM). 2. Move the -CURRENT sources, including Broadcomm driver, to the box (probably via CD-R). 3. Take it from there. If anybody has some other suggestions, I'd be pleased to hear them.

Basically, I gave up on "normal" APM since in no FBSD release apm is able to find my system battery. Enabling ACPI, those things are fine. Running FreeBSD 5.1, anyhow, the system itself still completely crashes whenever I try starting X with ACPI enabled (sometimes just black screen and reboot, sometimes screen full of coloured ascii art and then reboot, sometimes immediate reboot). Reading several pieces of documentation and sites found using google still has left me pretty clueless... hints, anyone? TIA, have a nice day. Cheers, Kris -- these outrageous events break through the peaceful silence... into a fragile community enters madness, insanity.

There were large amounts of code in the streams module which were Video4Linux dependent. I've kept a record of that work and will pass it on to the S3 developers in due course. I should point out that S3's source code is against 4.2.0 (pre-Mesa4 import) and thus the 3D code is totally different.

The video BIOS is usually mapped by system BIOS into real memory to begin with, so it should be just sitting there. There are usually northbridge chipset registers for dealing with this sort of thing. The SMM mode might reuse that window, though, but generally this is hidden from non-SMM mode applications. You're in luck - been rebuilding X, so have xc tarballs handy. The XFree86 code responsible is: xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/int10 Some drivers like to call VBE via int10h, so this module acts as a bridge. It just memcpy()'s the ROM and uses various methods, depending on the compilation target, to call int10h. Is the onboard video AGP/PCI? It is possible that the device isn't reporting its memory window in the ROM BAR correctly. I've seen this happen with some low-end network cards before.

I currently have my arms in xf86ExtendedInitInt10, which does the mapping. It tries to map 256 kB of memory, and I suppose it does, for some definition: (II) RADEON(0): mapped system memory at 0xc0000, len 0x40000, video BIOS offset 0xc0000, to 0x28368000 But at 0xcc00, I get: (gdb) x/20x 0x28373ff0 0x28373ff0: 0x00800304 0x0000000c 0x0b100020 0x4002003e 0x28374000: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x28374010: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff I've looked in the same space with Microsoft, which says: C000:BFF0 04 03 80 00 0C 00 00 00-20 00 10 0B 3E 00 02 40 ........ ...>..@ C000:C000 00 2E 05 01 06 10 40 01-90 01 02 97 01 45 01 0D ......@......E.. > Some drivers like to call VBE via int10h, so this module acts as a bridge. > It just memcpy()'s the ROM and uses various methods, depending on the > compilation target, to call int10h. > > Is the onboard video AGP/PCI? Intel 82845, if that's the correct answer.

My guess is that something else shares this space, and that it has been turned off. I'm going to carry on investigating, but if anybody else recognizes the problem, I'd be interested to hear from you. > Try my tools at this URL to check this: > http://www.incunabulum.com/code/projects/pci/freebsd/ Thanks, I'll try that anyway.

How can I use that? If you have a second machine with firewire, then you can use the firewire port as your console. Look at /usr/ports/devel/dcons.

I'm not sure what you mean by this question. Since OLDCARD works, and requires read/write access to that physical memory range, I doubt that it is unmapped.

I suspect that something in the chipset is turning off that area of memory, or mapping something else to it. The dump from Microsoft shows that there's another BIOS at 0xcf000, but what I have mapped in memory shows only 0xff up to address 0xd0000, where I find another BIOS signature: 0x28377fe0: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x28377ff0: 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x28378000: 0xe80caa55 0x4ecb14c8 0x0000033b 0x00000000 0x28378010: 0x00000000 0x00200000 0x00600040 0x90c08b2e 0x28378020: 0x49444e55 0x0000ea16 0x0c9d0201 0xad100800 > It may be the case that we aren't setting things up so that XFree86 > can call the BIOS, but given that we used PCIBIOS before ACPI, it > seems unlikely.
