Something strange happens with my vaio pcg-v505bx laptop tonight. It has wireless NIC, so I use it in infrastructure mode, connecting to d-link dwl-900ap+. Tonight, i was sitting surfing web, reading maillists, etc, as usual. Wireless connection was perfect (as usual). Suddenly I decide to scan my freebsd NAT gateway due to it's network reconfiguration. So, while sending nmap packets to AP over the air, my wireless connection suddenly became broken (btw, I don't know was it related with nmap scanning or not). wi0 was up and running but ping didn't work, etc. Huh, I had such kind of troubles several days ago while using linux 2.4.25 (there are 2 oses installed onto laptop) while transfering big files over the air, but it was linux driver problem, and freebsd's wi0 always works perfect (thank you, fbsd folks). So I just kldunload and kldload if_wi.ko again, and reconfigure my wi0 iface. But it didn't help. And the trouble is in a strange string I didn't seen before - wi0: [GIANT-LOCKED] This is a full wi0-prelated part of dmesg: wi0: mem 0xf8000000-0xf8000fff at device 2.0 on pci2 wi0: [GIANT-LOCKED] wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.3) wi0: Ethernet address: 00:d0:59:49:12:52 wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps So now AP detects that my laptop come onto the stage (I can see "Wireless PC connected 00-D0-59-49-12-52" in ap logs), but wireless network is dead. I tried reboot, poweroff, reboot to linux, etc, but no luck. It looks like I killed this piece of hardware with software packets :-\ Would you mind to explain what [GIANT-LOCKED] is? And what can I do? All advices are VERY welcomed :( -- Best regards, Toxa mailto:postfix@sendmail.ru
