I CVSed up to 4.6.2-STABLE as of 6 days ago and still see the problem. I am using a PCMCIA SMC2632W on a Toshiba laptop. So far it seems to happen when there is no carrier and some packets are sent to the driver. I run dhcp on that interface so the dhclient will case the problem as it tries to poll the network. It seem to get stuck on a polling or interupt loop and consume all the CPU. If I kill the dhclient then it will run for a lot longer until some thing else tries use the interface. It doesn't seem to happen all the time. ---- Kirk Kirk Davis Senior Network Analyst, ITS Edmonton Public Schools 1-780-429-8308 kirk.davis@epsb.ca -----Original Message----- From: Brian McCann [mailto:bjm1287@ritvax.rit.edu] Sent: September 5, 2002 9:35 PM To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Wi drivers I don't know if it's an issue with drivers or not, but whenever my Linksys card looses it's carrier, it slows the system up REALLY bad, and I get errors "wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear.". And from what I could tell, this started happening as soon as I upgraded to 4.6-STABLE.
