Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, We was using FreeBSD and WaveLAN without problems. But now we are trying to use 4.2-20001219-STABLE and we are found some problems. We have got one PII 350MHz (chiset 440 BX motherboard) working fine, but using some old motherboards we get this error: wi0: device timeout wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: failed to alloacte 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed That old motherboard has got the chipset VIA VT82C576M with a Pentium 100MHz. Looking at result from dmesg there is a little difference: work-> there are isab0 and isa0 at motherboard that works: isab0: at device 7.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 don't work-> there isn't isab0!!!: isa0: on isab0 We've got another older motherboard (chipset intel TX) working fine with FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, and we can found isab0 on dmesg: isab0: at device 7.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 Likely the wi0 require a isab0 (I think). Why when are we using FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE we can't found a isab0 on old motherboard? Why don't wi0 works? We've installed FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE on same VIA motherboard to test and all works fine. But on that motherboard we can't found a isab0 with dmesg, too. Are we thinking wrong? When we are using same motherboard (VIA VT82C576M) with FBSD 4.1-RELEASE are all working fine? We've tested FBSD 4.2-RELEASE and 4.2-20001219-STABLE and both don't work on this motherboard. Finally: Why are all versions tested of FreeBSD working fine using a 440BX motherboard? Thanks, Paulo Fragoso. -- __O _-\<,_ Why drive when you can bike? (_)/ (_) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
