Another problem I'm having with 4.4 involves the wireless LAN card I use
with my laptop. I have a Webgear Aviator card (not Aviator Pro), which
works off the "ray" driver. I'm used to configuring the card using a
sequence like:
# kldload /modules/if_ray.ko
# pccardc pccardmem 0xd4000
# pccardc enabler 0 0 ray0 -m 0 d4000 -i 3
# ifconfig ray0 192.168.247.5
(I do all this manually, rather than using pccardd, due to bad
interactions between the ray driver and pccardd in earlier versions
of FreeBSD - I'm not sure the problem is still relevant, though.)
This works fine in FreeBSD 4.3. In FreeBSD 4.4, everything is fine
until I hit the "ifconfig" command, which hangs - but it's not the
whole machine that hangs, just the "ifconfig" command, I can switch to
another virtual console, log in, run commands, whatever. "ps" shows that
ifconfig is sleeping on "rayinit". If I go back to the ifconfig window
and control-C the ifconfig command, the system panics with a "ccs not
allocated" panic, called from the ray driver. (I wish I had the exact text
of the panic message with me right now, but I don't, unfortunately....)
Does anyone know if the ray driver is truly broken in 4.4, or am I just
doing something stupid?
