Following up on Bruce's suggestion, then, I reverted the files that
appeared most likely to be involved to 20 Mar 2007 03:00 (US/Pacific;
currently 7 hrs. west of UTC) and re-built the kernel.
A reboot following that exercise yields a functioning wi0:
wi0: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
ether 00:02:2d:5b:2c:78
inet 10.2.164.133 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.2.164.255
media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps)
status: associated
ssid maps-a channel 11 bssid 00:0c:41:13:59:67
stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node"
authmode OPEN privacy MIXED deftxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit txpowmax 100
bmiss 7 bintval 100
Here's a list of the files I reverted (pruned from a list of files that
were updated in yesterday's build process), together with the revision
level I'm using & the current revision level:
File wi0 OK no wi0
sys/dev/acpica/acpi.c 1.231 1.233
sys/i386/bios/smapi.c 1.13 1.14
sys/i386/bios/smbios.c 1.5 1.6
sys/i386/bios/vpd.c 1.5 1.6
sys/i386/i386/io_apic.c 1.32 1.33
sys/i386/i386/legacy.c 1.61 1.62
sys/i386/i386/local_apic.c 1.38 1.39
sys/i386/i386/nexus.c 1.69 1.71
sys/i386/include/apicvar.h 1.22 1.23
sys/i386/include/specialreg.h 1.38 1.39
Now, I'll freely admit that I'm not a kernel hacker. I'm willing
to test code though. Any suggestions for changes to test? (I can
also provide more detailed information about the laptop -- it's a
Dell Inspiron 8200 -- off-list; as before, I'd rather not spam the
list too much.)
Thanks!
Peace,
david
