Subject: Ricoh RL5C475 PCI-CardBus Bridge in PCI Card; No interrupts?

The D-Link DWL-500 IEEE 802.11b PCI card is a DWL-650 PCMCIA card plugged
into a PCI-CardBus bridge based on the Ricoh RL5C475 chip.  I'm having
problems receiving interrupts through this card; dmesg output attached.

The host system is a Dell Dimension XPS D333 (A P-II-based desktop)
running -STABLE that was cvsup'd and rebuilt about 8 hours ago.

There was a lot of discussion of PCI-CardBus bridge based on this chip
back a bit over a year ago, starting with this message:

http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=84371+0+archive/2000/freebsd-mobil
e/20000730.freebsd-mobile

but there never seemed to be a resolution for his specific problem in
the ensuing discussion.

Unlike Brian, I can configure the installed PCMCIA card just fine.  But
I never receive an interrupt from it, and thus get a stream of "wi0:
watchdog timeout" messages.

Based on discussion by Warner Losh here a month or two back, I tried
adding:

    hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
    hw.pcic.irq="0"

to my /boot/loader.conf.  No joy; pccardd finds the card, as before,
says it is connected on irq 10, as before, but no interrupts actually
make it through.

Any ideas of what I should try next?  (Other than tossing the CardBus
bridge card.)

Hi, 

I'm late, but then, what's new? ;')

just did a similar machine last night (Sunday). TP560 with P100

ok - what I did, is build (after much searching and mucking around) a dos boot
floppy with the realmode drivers for the pcmcia cd-rom / 4x cd-rom, create a
dos partition of about 700MB and xcopy the whole first cd to the dos
partition.

Booted from the floppies and installed from the dos partition. Of course, I
have 4.5G to play with, so this is less than useful on a standard '800M'
drive.

Assuming you have the same / similar cd-kit as I have (1969008), I can use
something like winzip to send you the files for the boot-floppy.

hth,

H

A couple of months ago when I bought my Compaq 1700, PIII laptop the onboard
Conexant card was not even recognized.  In the last couple of weeks it is
now recognized and detects connecting a 10 or 100Mb cable correctly.  I can
Configure it with no problem but I am then spamed with the "dc0: tx rx"
messages shown below.

Does anyone have this working?  It seems to almost be there.

Thanks,

ed

Well, I didn't recieve any response from mailing lists, but I got this
laptop working booting from 4.4 anyway :)

I'm sure there would be an easier way to do this, but I took the hd out of
the laptop and popped it in my desktop... without a hang at boot, I might
add.  I was able to install and configure FBSD and play with kernel
configurations by putting the HD back into my laptop...  I didn't need to
configure anything in the BIOS, just enable the pcm driver in ther kernel
config (i.e. "device pcm" -- Full config at end of this message).  I also
was able to get pcmcia working, and am putting X on there right now.  Glad I
could get this working, thought I was out of luck!

If that's the case, then that might be the only issue I have left.  That

I just bought myself a Toshiba 3005-S304.  So far, I'm very happy
with the machine.  It came pre-installed with Windows XP, but I
just finished up employing Partition Magic's resizing tool in
order to free up a chunk of my disk for a FreeBSD install.

On to the topic at hand:

I am unable to get the system to boot an install kernel.  I have
tried FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE, today's 4.4-STABLE image, and the most
recent 5.0-CURRENT image (from last week).  They all hang on an
unknown PCI device.

The 5.0-CURRENT kernels appears to yield the most information:

    pci0: <simple comms> at device 31.6 (no driver attached)

The STABLE images simply report an unknown device.

My problem appears to be similar to the one reference in the
following -mobile traffic:

    Pine.GSO.4.33.0108201916100.4020-100000@freke.odin.pdx.edu
    Pine.GSO.4.33.0108212012230.8116-100000@gere.odin.pdx.edu
    200108220601.f7M61eW72425@harmony.village.org

I would appreciate any help trying to track this problem down.  I
don't mind doing any of the legwork, but I could use a push in
the right direction as to where to begin.

Thanks in advance!

If this message is printed, probe/attach for the device has completed,
and the problem is unrelated to this device; rather, it is relevant to
whatever comes after it.

You might try booting with -v to see if anything more is printed.

Yeah, I sort of figured as much.

Nothing more is printed at that point.  I'm booting off of a
floppy disk, and the floppy drive gets stuck in a read loop,
though (i.e. light remains on and drive is seeking).

Hi,

AFAIK, any time a new interface is added, ipfilter needs to be "resynced" with
an "ipf -y":

       -y     Manually resync the in-kernel interface list  main-
              tained by IP Filter with the current interface sta-
              tus list.

to facilitate this for pccard interfaces, I made some local changes to
/etc/defaults/rc.conf and /etc/pccard_ether; do these changes look reasonable?
Can someone recommend a better approach? (My ipf.rules protect the entire box
regardless of interface so it seems to work fine) If not, any objections to
commiting this?:

diff -r1.1 /etc/defaults/rc.conf
62c62
< ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf -Fa -f"
---
> ipfilter_program="/sbin/ipf"
67c67

---
> ipfilter_flags=" -Fa -f"      # should be *empty* when ipf is _not_ a module

and:

laptop.  This was accomplished with FreeBSD 4.3 by adding lines like this to 
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf :

config  auto "ep0" 10
config  auto "ep1" 15
(everything else for that cards entry is left the same)

However, this no longer works with FreeBSD 4.4.  There are two reasons that 
this could be happening:

1. the somewhat arcane changes I show above to pccard.conf are no longer the 
way it is done, and I just don't know the _new_ arcane way

2. Somehow, some way, in upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 on this laptop, I have 
developed irq conflicts - maybe 4.4 just arranges things differently.

So in that light, the ONLY ONLY ONLY suspicious thing I see in dmesg is that 
a _lot_ of things are using irq3:

pci_cfgintr: 0:19 INTA routed to irq 3
pcic0 ... irq3
pcic1 ... irq3
ep0 ... irq3

Which is odd, since pccard.conf _and_ /etc/rc.conf BOTH tell ep0 to go to 
irq10 and ep1 to go to irq15.

The end result ?  ep0 works, on irq 3, and ep1 bombs out with the infamous 
"No card in database for "(null)"("(null)")

Any help is appreciated.  The irq thing looks odd, but given the previous 
4.3-era solution to this problem (the pccard.conf configuration shown above) 
I would not be surprised if there is some new weird arrangement of the 
parameters for that entry that will solve everything.

The handling of interrupts on 4.4 for PCcards is very different. V4.4
implements IRQ sharing for PCI routed interrupts including PCcards.

This means that both pcics always share a single IRQ and any cards
plugged into them do the same. So what you are seeing is pretty
normal. Mine uses IRQ11, but is otherwise about the same as
yours. This is not a problem.

Also, all IRQ parameters in pccard.conf and the like are simply
ignored.

Unfortunately, I have no idea why both cards would not work
right. Perhaps Warner or someone else has an idea.

You could switch back to ISA interrupt routing and see if that
helps. That changes interrupt routing back to the way it was in 4.3
and makes the specifications in the pccard.conf file valid again.

How do I do this ?  (switch back to ISA interrupt routing)

My goal is to play a mp3 file on my toshiba libretto 100ct.

System was working fine, then I recompiled the kernel with this line added 
to config:

device pcm0 at isa? port 0x530 irq 5 drq 1 flags 0xc100

Everything came up ok...so then I tried it out:

`mpg123 my_mpeg_file.mp3`

- I got several errors like this:

pcm0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

and, although I heard NO audio output (I know the speaker works because I 
hear the pccard beeps on boot) I watched the timer counter in mpg123, and it 
was running at about 2x realtime.

Any help appreciated.

I've got a Compaq Armada 1750 with a Xircom CBE2-100 ethernet card. When I
boot up, I see that I've got a link, but, no activity. I think it was
detected as "faith0". I can give it an ip address, etc, but, I never get
activity. I can ping the localhost, but, pinging the IP that I give it,
or any other IP doesn't work. Any tips or tricks on getting this
thing to work? Also, I'm trying to get X to run at something more than 800x600 on the standard VGA
server, instead of 1024x728 on the Mach64 server that I know it can use as
it worked like that with RedHat.

Thanks

Jeff

You're looking in the wrong direction. faith0 is "IPv6-to-IPv4 TCP
relay capturing interface" and just a pseudo device - see 'man faith'.

Xircom support is spotty with older devices but better with newer ones.
You need pcmcia set up. Have you done that ?

Hi Jeff,

I think the CBE2-100 ethernet is an CardBus ethernet card.=20
Cardbus support is still not available in the FreeBSD 4. Stable series
Cardbus support is available in current. but ....

As far as I'm able to see, the card is identified, configured and seems to 
exist fine (ifconfig -a shows it as up, reports the details, etc before the 
card is given any IP or netmask).

wicontrol shows the stats, the IBSS name is correct (of the local access 
point I connect to), everything seems ok.

I do the following:
# dhclient wi0

and get the following:

wi0: watchdog timeout

After several repeated timeout messages I get my prompt back, and ifconfig 
-a tells me that wi0 is:
IP 0.0.0.0 mask 0xFF000000 broadcast 255.255.255.255.

netstat -rn gives:
dest	gw	flags	netif
0	link#5	UC	wi0
plus my other routes.

The watchdog comments continue popping up on the console, of course.

My ISP is currently running the AccessPoint as a NAT/DHCP server on a class 
A network (10.0.0.0).  Luckily I have a laptop, lucky or not it has WinXP on 
it. I've configured it to use DHCP and put the Orinoco card in it, it works 
perfectly.

I installed 4.0-RELEASE, CVSup'ed to 4.4-STABLE and have built and installed 
both world and kernel. I intend the machine to be a gateway/firewall (ipfw) 
and do NAT translation for my local home network, allowing all machines to 
access the broadband wireless connection. Local home net is a NextStep 
system, Laptop with XP, and neighbors PC with XP, all connected to a 100Mb 
switch.

The hardware is a Fujitsu Siemens ScenicPro M5, Pentium 200MMX, both ISA and 
PCI slots. The Orinoco is in a PC-Card carrier in PCI slot 3 (shared 
ISA/PCI), a Matrox MGA Millenium is in PCI slot 0. A CNet Pro-200 (dc0) is 
in slot 2. Nothing else is installed in the machine. The entire disk is 
dedicated to FreeBSD, I boot from a CD-R until the spinning baton, then give 
a boot message for the hard disk and kernel image (because for some strage 
reason the hard disk refuses to boot, although every test I've run on it 
say's it fine and I've tried every jumper setting available. When it's up 
and running everything works
great. This is the same for FBSD, Windows and DOS - I tried installing all 
of them just to check, so I think it might be a faulty control card on the 
hard disk itself.).

Checking my kernel configuration file and the dmesg, I see that there are no 
IRQ conflicts - the Orinoco is on IRQ 10, the dc0 on 11, etc. I have only a 
very few warning messages in my dmesg, relevant lines are as follows:

boot ad(0,a)/kernel

Warning: loader(8) metadata is missing! #this because I boot from the CD-R 
of 4.0-RELEASE, I expect. I wonder how I would go about making a boot floppy 
or CD-R dedicated to the machine's and kernel's  configuration that would 
pass the boot (and root dev) to the hdd...?

then I get this very shortly after the CPU type/setup is done:
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x11a, dev=0x0005) at 3.0
pci0: <unknown card> (vendor=0x11a, dev=0x0005) at 3.1
I'm guessing it's something built onto the mainboard, like a soundchip or 
the flashcard reader or something. I got the machine for free from someone 
who didn't want it after buying a new one.

further down we have this:
pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:18 INTA
pcic0: <TI PCI-1410 PCI-Cardbus Bridge> at device 18.0 on pci0
pcic0: PCI Memory allocated: 0x44000000
pci_cfgintr: can't route an interrupt to 0:18 INTA
pcic0: no PCI interrupt routed, trying ISA
pcic0: Polling mode
pcic0: TI12XX PCI Config Reg: [pwr save][CSC parallel isa irq]
pccard0: <PC Card bus (classic) on pcic0>
...
then this:
pccard: card inserted, slot 0
wi0: <WaveLan/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq 10 slot 0 on pccard0
wi0: ethernet address: 00:02:2d:0b:c2:39

I've checked sysctl, it says:
hw.pcic.ignore_function_1: 0
and won't let me change it to "YES" or "1" (error message: "variable is read 
only" - even while logged in as root), so I'm not sure how else I would go 
about trying it (from what I've read on Deja about similar problems being 
helped by this setting).

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction (or proper mailing list, 
in case *-mobile isn't appropriate...)

Regards,
Thor

Set the following sysctls at boot time:
hw.pcic.intr_path="1"
hw.pcic.irq="0"

These need to be set in /boot/loader.conf as they are read-only once
the system has booted. /boot/loadr.conf sets them before the system
actually starts.

Can list readers who own/use a recent Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600
comment on its compatibility with FreeBSD & XFree86 ?

My search of the usual lists suggests that the Trident CyberBlade XP
video device may be problematic, even with the most recent XFree86
release (4.1.0), since most of the Linux references seem to indicate
the need for a framebuffer device.

Other observations (APM, USB, network, sound, modem) are appreciated.

Hi,

Dell Austria has currently some nice offers for Inspiron 4100 and 8100
notebooks, and I'm really thinking about buying one.

My question is: do they work with FreeBSD, and if yes, how do they
perform? Are the integrated peripherals (IrDA, LAN,...) supported? And
what about X? (The 4100 has a ATI Mobility Radeon built in, the 8100 a
nVidia GeForce2 Go; I didn't find a lot about these chips on the XFree
homepage.)

regards,
le

The IrDA won't work, but the rest probably will.  The ATI Radeon will
work with X 4.  I think the GeForce2 will as well.

I just bought a laptop with one of the Trident CyberBlade XP's in them
(Toshiba Portege 4000) and am in the middle of writing up a howto to get
things working. To get the Card working you need to use the vesa driver
rather than the trident in 4.1 as the trident driver does not support this
card as yet. Once this is done I then noticed a problem when I am typing in
X with double characters appearing when typing, to fix this I setup a
cronjob to do a xkbset bo 50 evcer 30 minutes (For some reason it seemed to
stop working after 30 minutes, if anyone else has an idea on what I can do
to stop this occurence let me know). Bar that the sound, lan work fine. I
have yet to play around to get the in built Wireless card working as I don't
know what chipset it uses.

If you want a copy of my X config let me know.

Cheers,

Mark

I've got it working with the vesa driver. When i connect my laptop to an
external monitor i don't have to load the vesa driver. Even with the vesa
i still works perfect. I don't see a real difference.

APM working perfect
USB not tested
Network
	Wireless perfect
	Onboard fxp0 works good, but i have a strange problem. After a
	period of inactivity my laptop freezes up and my coworkers can't
	use the network anymore because my laptop sends thousands off
	ethernet frames per minute.
Sound perfect
Modem not tested

Greetings,

Richard.

As for the GeForce2 GO I must say No no and no. I have FreeBSD running
on the Inspiron 8000 (which is just 100MHz less than the 8100)
but there is presently no chance to get an X11 screen for FreeBSD.

And I doubt there will be a chance ever due to the closed architecture
of the NVIDIA chip.

ALl they offer is Linux drivers and they released another driver
for Linux in September (Release 1541). I don't want to praise or
advertise for Linux here but I have Redhat 7.1, FreeBSD (No X11)
Windows ME, Windows 2000 running on the Inspiron 8000 (all bootable
through the Redhat graphics screen bootloader - ick, my son recently
said when he saw this: Dad, what is this, are you gone mad to have
this Redhat screen on your notebook :-). But I was in need to
run OpenGL applications under a unix-look-similar.

Geforce2 GO:

Has there been an update on the rudimentary X11 dump utility
that previously existed and did nothing else than reporting some
memory locations to the developer?

I am sorry to advise you to avoid laptops based on nVidia's chipset. X11
driver for GeForce2 Go chip is only available in binary format for
Linux. NVidia do not know if they will ever support BSD in the future.

I am stuck myself with a Dell i8000 with a GeForce2 Go chipset which I
can use only using the VESA driver 1280x1024x24 instead of 1400x1050x32
(I will give a try to the vesa driver from FreeBSD 4.4R).

There was a website with a petition to be sent to Nvidia but it seems to
be dead. There were thousands of people on this petition, I hope it has
be sent to them.

Besides, the laptop works very well under FreeBSD, sounds, network... I
did not try the builtin modem.

Hopes this helps you.

Phil.

Someone claimed to have hacked VESA support for 1400x750 for the i7500.. A
similar process may be possible for the 8100..

See..

The 8000 is pretty nice though :)
