It uses an acx111 chipset. Using the drivers that work for me in ndiswrapper in linux, i got it working! excellent... but it seems to stop working about once every 10 mins, requiring me to unload and reload the driver. When i unload it, it says something about a buggy driver. I put the firmware files in /compat/ndis/. they are: FwRad16.bin FwRad17.bin tnet1130.cat Has this problem been found before? is it fixed in current? i am using freebsd 5.4. thanks in advance -- From: Benjamin Woods woodsb02@iinet.net.au From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Mon Jun 20 09:15:17 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1677E16A41C for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 09:15:17 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from V.Konrad@lse.ac.uk) Received: from exic6.lse.ac.uk (exic6.lse.ac.uk [158.143.216.123]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AEF4943D58 for ; Mon, 20 Jun 2005 09:15:16 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from V.Konrad@lse.ac.uk) Received: from ExF1.lse.ac.uk ([158.143.216.11]) by exic6.lse.ac.uk with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.6713); Mon, 20 Jun 2005 10:15:15 +0100 Received: EXF1.lse.ac.uk 158.143.216.11 from 158.143.116.174 158.143.116.174 via HTTP with MS-WebStorage 6.0.6249 Received: from whirpool.lse.ac.uk by EXF1.lse.ac.uk; 20 Jun 2005 10:17:33 +0100 From: Vladimir Konrad To: Luciano Musacchio In-Reply-To: <200506180001.58732.l0kit0@exactas.org> References: <200506180001.58732.l0kit0@exactas.org> Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2005 10:17:33 +0100 Message-Id: <1119259053.85464.2.camel@localhost> Mime-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Evolution 2.2.3 FreeBSD GNOME Team Port X-OriginalArrivalTime: 20 Jun 2005 09:15:15.0296 (UTC) FILETIME=[91D2BE00:01C57578] Cc: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Subject: Re: postfix or qmail?

I am unsure of the support in FreeBSD for the following: - ICH6R disk controller - Broadcom BCM5721 ethernet Ideally I would put FreeBSD 4.10 on the systems as we are already using this on several systems (these new servers unfortunately have to be different to the previous ones). FreeBSD 4.11 hardware compatibility says there is support for intel ICH5 as does the ata man page for FreeBSD 4.10. I've also checked the man page for ata on FreeBSD 5.4 and it says up to ICH5. I am aware that there is Broadcom support via the bge driver, the man page says "provides support for various NICs based on the Broadcom BCM570x". Haven't found any mention of what I assume is the later controller and the broadcom website doesn't have any mention of a Freebsd driver. Can anyone advise on support for these in version 4.10, if I need 5.4 or whether they will work at all?

As far as I can tell, the machine could have either an LSI 53C1030 controller or a Dell PERC 4e/Di controller. For the LSI I can see that it is supported by the mtp driver, but can find nothing else. For the Dell PERC 4e/Di (a different LSI, I believe) it seems to be supported by the amr driver and I have found various references out there to these working under FreeBSD, but nothing specifically about monitoring the RAID.

Two followup questions for you, if I may. 1) Assuming you are using RAID features, what are you doing right now to monitor whether the disks are OK? (Please feel free to say that you're watching the LEDs flash, but if you do, I think I'll start gibbering and drooling in the corner). 2) The only mention (other than Dell sales-brochure-speak) of the DRAC which I found was this, http://stats.kwsn.net/newfeatures.html, which implies that the DRAC is usable regardless of what OS you run. My impression is that it is basically giving you a remote console which lets you at the innards of the machine. You say you're looking at getting the Drac4 to do automatic notification, but can you, right now, just log in to it and tell the state of the disks? Sorry if these questions are a bit basic. I've never worked with Dell server kit before, or even a RAID under FreeBSD.

I do not follow the -CURRENT list, but is there a solution for actually using this card? Next question is, will I be able to use the card at all, be it 100Mbit maybe? Please CC me on replies as I am not currently subscribed to the freebsd-hardware@ list. Thank you in advance. --Jaco From owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Jun 23 14:34:14 2005 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 39B7C16A421 for ; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 14:34:14 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhs@flat.berklix.net) Received: from tower.berklix.org (bsd.bsn.com [194.221.32.7]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id BC72D43D49 for ; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 14:34:12 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from jhs@flat.berklix.net) Received: from js.berklix.net (p549A7B4A.dip.t-dialin.net [84.154.123.74]) (authenticated bits=0) by tower.berklix.org (8.12.9p2/8.12.9) with ESMTP id j5NEXu8o028748; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 16:34:08 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from jhs@flat.berklix.net) Received: from fire.jhs.private (fire.jhs.private [192.168.91.41]) by js.berklix.net (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id j5NEXsvm006479; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 16:33:54 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from jhs@flat.berklix.net) Received: from fire.jhs.private (localhost.jhs.private [127.0.0.1]) by fire.jhs.private (8.13.1/8.13.3) with ESMTP id j5NEXsQ1060300; Thu, 23 Jun 2005 16:33:54 +0200 (CEST) (envelope-from jhs@fire.jhs.private) Message-Id: <200506231433.j5NEXsQ1060300@fire.jhs.private> To: "Svetlana S.

Well, I discovered that the PERC 4e/Di Raid card is the same thing as the LSI MegaRAID 320-2X. So if you go to www.lsilogic.com and go to the download section and find the downloads for the "LSI MegaRAID 320-2x" you will see that there is a "driver" for FreeBSD. Download this file and unzip the contents. Inside there is a file called "MegaRC 1.04.zip" Unzip that and you will have a file called "megarc" make the file executable "chmod +x megarc" and run the command "./megarc -option" This will give you some options that you can play with. So far I've discovered the following useful information: ./megarc -AllAdpInfo This shows all your supported adapters. In my case it found the following: AdapterNo FirmwareType CardType 00 40LD/8SPAN PERC 4/DC I then did this to display the status/configuration of the controller: ./megarc -dispCfg -a0 Finding Devices On Each MegaRAID Adapter...
