Hi,
I have a Sony PCG-GRX570 running FreeBSD 5.2.1p4 and an old graphite
Apple Airport access point (w/ shiny new capacitors!). The sony
hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range="1" to boot, and I also have
hint.spic.0.at="isa" and hint.spic.0.port="0x10a0" in the device.hints
file so that the little wheely thing works.
I just got a Netgear WG511T Cardbus card and have run across a couple
of problems. Before I file a pr, I'd like to check that the problems
not upstream of my keyboard somewhere....
1) If I boot the machine w/out the card inserted, then insert the
card, it doesn't work (no blinkin' lights) and I see this in
/var/log/messages:
Apr 2 10:06:40 kong kernel: cbb0: CardBus card activation failed
If I pop the card out, and reinsert it, voila:
Apr 2 10:07:43 kong kernel: start (88000000) < sc->membase (e8200000)
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (e82fffff)
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: start (88000000) < sc->membase (e8200000)
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: end (ffffffff) > sc->memlimit (e82fffff)
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: ath0: <Atheros 5212> mem 0x88010000-0x8801ffff irq 9 at device 0.0 on cardbus0
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: start (88010000) < sc->membase (e8200000)
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: ath0: mac 5.6 phy 4.1 5ghz radio 4.6
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: ath0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: ath0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
Apr 2 10:07:44 kong kernel: ath0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:c4:10:f3
and things seem to work ok.
2) If i try to run dstumbler (from ports, cvsup'd yesterday), as
sudo dstumbler ath0
it starts up, and after several seconds says in red in the message area:
error: unable to ioctl device socket: Operation now in progress
If i pop the card out, instead of the 'detached' message I see
normally, it says:
Apr 2 10:15:14 kong kernel: ath0: ath_chan_set: unable to reset channel 4 (2427 Mhz)
Apr 2 10:15:16 kong kernel: ath0: detached
Reinserting the card still seems to work.
Is the 5.2.1 atheros driver supposed to support dstumbler?
Any helpful comments would be appreciated.
Thanks,
g.
