Without success yet :( It seems the uhid driver feels responsible for this device, instead of the ums driver? I added following line into "/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs" + make buildkernel && make installkernel (but it did not work): product MICROSOFT MSNOMWTW 0x00d2 Notebook Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel Any ideas where to look or what to do? Is there a way to test changes without rebuilding the complete kernel? maybe only recompile the ums module? thanks Martin -- Laptop Model: Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook T4010 uname: FreeBSD optimusprime.local 6.1-RC FreeBSD 6.1-RC #6: Mon Apr 17 20:15:45 CEST 2006 root@optimusprime.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OPTIMUSPRIME i386 dmesg excerpt (Laptop is docked, hence the NEC USB2.0 part): uhci0: port 0x20c0-0x20df irq 11 at device 29.0 on pci0 uhci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb0: on uhci0 usb0: USB revision 1.0 uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci1: port 0x20e0-0x20ff irq 11 at device 29.1 on pci0 uhci1: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb1: on uhci1 usb1: USB revision 1.0 uhub1: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2: port 0x2400-0x241f irq 11 at device 29.2 on pci0 uhci2: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb2: on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0: mem 0xd0100000-0xd01003ff irq 11 at device 29.7 on pci0 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] ...skipping... uhid0: Microsoft Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel, rev 2.00/1.20, addr 3, iclass 3/1 uhub1: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub1: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered uhci2: port 0x2400-0x241f irq 11 at device 29.2 on pci0 uhci2: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb2: on uhci2 usb2: USB revision 1.0 uhub2: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub2: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered ehci0: mem 0xd0100000-0xd01003ff irq 11 at device 29.7 on pci0 ehci0: [GIANT-LOCKED] usb3: EHCI version 1.0 usb3: companion controllers, 2 ports each: usb0 usb1 usb2 usb3: on ehci0 usb3: USB revision 2.0 uhub3: Intel EHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 1 uhub3: 6 ports with 6 removable, self powered uhub4: NEC Corporation USB2.0 Hub Controller, class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2 uhub4: single transaction translator uhub4: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered uhid0: Microsoft Microsoft Notebook Optical Mouse with Tilt Wheel, rev 2.00/1.20, addr 3, iclass 3/1 ...

I immediately wiped the disk and installed FreeBSD, my buddy isn't very technical and stuck with Windows XP. The RT2500 aggravated the heck out of me. The only way I could get a decent signal was to put the laptop two feet away from the wireless router. This isn't a FreeBSD issue. My buddy experienced the same weak and dropped signals running Windows XP. We both have WRT54G's as well. I wound up buying a Netgear pccard with the Atheros chipset, and it just works flawlessly. I made my buddy do the same. Kind of pissed I had to shell out $50.00, but I'm not aggravated any more. -Bryan From owner-freebsd-usb@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Apr 22 19:00:39 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-usb@hub.freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-usb@hub.freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id CA10116A400 for ; Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 +0000 (UTC) (envelope-from gnats@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (freefall.freebsd.org [216.136.204.21]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5BF3143D46 for ; Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from gnats@FreeBSD.org) Received: from freefall.freebsd.org (gnats@localhost [127.0.0.1]) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.13.4/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k3MJ0dV5088174 for ; Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 GMT (envelope-from gnats@freefall.freebsd.org) Received: (from gnats@localhost) by freefall.freebsd.org (8.13.4/8.13.4/Submit) id k3MJ0dnp088173; Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 GMT (envelope-from gnats) Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 GMT Message-Id: <200604221900.k3MJ0dnp088173@freefall.freebsd.org> To: freebsd-usb@FreeBSD.org From: Anish Mistry Cc: Subject: Re: usb/93949: ugen(4)-related repeatable kernel panic in 6.1-PRERELEASE X-BeenThere: freebsd-usb@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list Reply-To: Anish Mistry List-Id: FreeBSD support for USB List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 19:00:39 -0000 The following reply was made to PR usb/93949; it has been noted by GNATS.
