--T4sUOijqQbZv57TR Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I've tried the new NDIS interface with a Sweex LC500050 card, which uses the RaLink RT2500 chipset on FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #4: Mon May 23 05:35:51 CEST 2005. I've got it almost running, except that when I run "dhclient ndis0", the kernel seems to freeze (it won't even respond to closing/opening the lid, normally it prints "acpi_lid0: Lid {closed|opened}"), no panic/dump/other interesting stuff. I've compiled the driver both with and without an additional file "rt2500.cat", which seems to contain some binary data, but even winedump can't make anything useful out of it. When converted into "rt2500.cat.o", that file only contains a single start and end symbol. Results without the file "rt2500.cat" follow. dmesg snippet when plugging in the card: --- [...] wlan: <802.11 Link Layer> [...] ndis0: <Ralink RT2500 Wireless LAN Card> mem 0x88000000-0x88001fff irq 11 a= t device 0.0 on cardbus1 ndis0: [MPSAFE] ndis0: NDIS API version: 5.1 ndis0: bpf attached ndis0: Ethernet address: 00:50:fc:8c:40:78 ndis0: bpf attached ndis0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps ndis0: 11g rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps Interrupt storm detected on "irq11: cbb0 cbb1+"; throttling interrupt source [...] --- Output of "ifconfig ndis0" (SSID protected): --- ndis0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::250:fcff:fe8c:4078%ndis0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3=20 ether 00:50:fc:8c:40:78 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect status: associated ssid "<MY_SSID>" 1:"<MY_SSID>" channel 10 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 rtsthreshold 2312 protmode CTS wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit --- Output of "wicontrol ndis0" (SSID / WEP-key protected): --- NIC serial number: [ ] Station name: [ 82-168-79-254-bbxl.xdsl.tiscali.nl ] SSID for IBSS creation: [ <MY_SSID> ] Current netname (SSID): [ <MY_SSID> ] Desired netname (SSID): [ <MY_SSID> ] Current BSSID: [ 00:00:00:00:00:00 ] Channel list: [ ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff ffff f= fff ffff ffff ffff 3fff ] IBSS channel: [ 65535 ] Current channel: [ 10 ] Comms quality/signal/noise: [ 0 0 0 ] Promiscuous mode: [ Off ] Intersil-Prism2 based card: [ 1 ] Port type (1=3DBSS, 3=3Dad-hoc): [ 1 ] MAC address: [ 00:50:fc:8c:40:78 ] TX rate (selection): [ 0 ] TX rate (actual speed): [ 54 ] RTS/CTS handshake threshold: [ 2312 ] Create IBSS: [ Off ] Access point density: [ 1 ] Power Mgmt (1=3Don, 0=3Doff): [ 0 ] Max sleep time: [ 100 ] WEP encryption: [ On ] TX encryption key: [ 1 ] Encryption keys: [ <my 104-bit WEP key> ][ ][ ][ ] --- Did I miss something or is it just plain bad luck?
