Those of you that have laptops with this chipset can test the patches at: http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/conexant.patch.gz http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/conexant_5.0.patch.gz The latter file is for 5.0-current, the former for -stable. Apply the patch as follows: # cd /tmp # fetch http://www.freebsd.org/~wpaul/conexant.patch.gz # gunzip conexant.patch.gz # cd /sys/pci # patch < conexant.patch Then compile a new kernel and/or if_dc.ko kernel module. I intend to commit the patch for -current when I get back to work next week, however the patch for -stable will probably have to wait until the code freeze for 4.4-RELEASE is lifted (sorry guys). In the meantime, success/failure/whatever reports would be much appreciated. -Bill -- ============================================================================ -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================ "I like zees guys.
