I hope someone can shed some light on the following:
I have an Abit BP6 running -stable, equipped with a Compaq WL200
wireless card. This is a PCI card with a PCMCIA-PCI bridge and a PRISM2
chipset. As in:
pcic0: <Cirrus Logic PD6729/6730 PCI-PCMCIA Bridge> port 0xcc00-0xcc03 irq
11 at device 15.0 on pci0
pcic0: Polling mode
pccard0: <PC Card 16-bit bus (classic)> on pcic0
pccard1: <PC Card 16-bit bus (classic)> 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<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> 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
