Hi!
I have two freebsd boxes with 4.11 (yes, really!). They both
serve wifi adhoc link (wi0 + pcic0: <Vadem 469>) during many
years with no problems. One box has died, and I change it to
new one with 8.0-rel. New box have cbb0 and same wi0 card. So,
now I have two boxes 4.11 and 8.0. Both with wi0 devices detected.
Configs:
4.11 freebsd:
wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

class = bridge
subclass = PCI-CardBus
cap 01[a0] = powerspec 1 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0
...
dmesg:
wi0: <Lucent Technologies WaveLAN/IEEE> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 17 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: [ITHREAD]
wi0: device timeout
wi0: device timeout
wi0: record read mismatch, rid=fd44, got=fc80
wi0: device timeout
....
my questions are:
1. why txpower 0 in 8.0 box?
2. why too many ``device timeout'' messages in dmesg on 8.0 box?
3. why all pings lost in that link?
thanks.
