This is a PCI card with a PCMCIA-PCI bridge and a PRISM2 chipset. As in: pcic0: port 0xcc00-0xcc03 irq 11 at device 15.0 on pci0 pcic0: Polling mode pccard0: on pcic0 pccard1: on pcic0 ... wi0 at port 0x240-0x27f irq 11 slot 0 on pccard0 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:50:8b:d0:6a:ba wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163-SST-flash wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 0.03.00, Station 1.03.04 The problem I see is: wi0: watchdog timeout wi0: watchdog timeout wi0: watchdog timeout wi0: watchdog timeout I've also seen: Feb 21 02:31:52 smp /kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 144/3c; last status 403c Tried moving the card around into other PCI slots but that did not help. One can get it to associate: wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.5.9 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 255.255.255.0 ether 00:50:8b:d0:6a:ba media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: associated ssid wbw 1:"" stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 The card (urkk....) works ok with Win98 so the hardware is basically OK I would think. Questions: - any idea why these watchdog timeouts occur? - is the firmware the WL200 currently runs a sensible one for PRISM2? (it has 0.8.0 which is not OK for host ap mode which is the ultimate goal here) tnx Wilko -- | / o / /_ _ wilko@FreeBSD.org |/|/ / / /( (_) Bulte To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
