I tried to print a single statistic from the wavelan card after experiencing the 0ed wi_counters from within the kernel (device_print)... for some reason once I did that the machine...rebooted...(not beneignly :) Could someone point me on info about kernel debugging? Do I get the impression that there is something wrong with the interrupt assigned to the card. Jim mentioned that it is probably best to have the interrupt assigned to the card isolated (at least that was my impression from what Jim mentioned as grandfathering) Also in some of the new fbsd boxes (4.1 stable + KAME snap) we have here the wavelan card although detected when inserted (which is a pccardd function) it keeps giving a "no such card in database". The card is in the database of pccard.conf, I use interrupt 9 which is not in use by another device. Can anyone understand the dumpcis info from the pccardc request? I dunno if that helps in understanding the problem as I cannot understand what it means..(at least a good part of it..) Any hints?
