Occasionally I'll get the following message on my console and all wireless traffic will stop, forcing me to reboot: Dec 29 12:14:51 trevarthan kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x010b; event status 0x8000 Dec 29 12:14:51 trevarthan kernel: wi0: xmit failed Dec 29 12:14:52 trevarthan kernel: wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 Dec 29 12:14:57 trevarthan kernel: wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. I've seen a few other complaints about this on various FreeBSD mailling lists, but no solution. Sometimes, the user is asked to upgrade his/her firmware. I took a look at my firmware on Friday, and sure enough I had old old firmware: wi0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci2 pcib2: device wi0 requested decoded memory range 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff wi0: 802.11 address: 00:20:e0:8a:90:61 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.2) wi0: bpf attached wi0: bpf attached wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wi0: bpf attached So... I decided to upgrade. I noticed that M. Warner had been recommending 1.4.9, and that the `wi` man page also recommended it, so I upgraded to 1.4.9: wi0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci2 pcib2: device wi0 requested decoded memory range 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff wi0: 802.11 address: 00:20:e0:8a:90:61 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.9) wi0: bpf attached wi0: bpf attached wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps wi0: bpf attached wi DOES seem more stable now. However, just this morning I got the same message: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 127/0 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 127/0 wi0: timeout in wi_cmd 0x0021; event status 0x8000 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 127/0 wi0: timeout in wi_seek to 127/0 wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. With the same results. I had to reboot to fix it. Here's what `ifconfig wi0` looked like after I encountered the busy bit message: wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:e0ff:fe8a:9061%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:20:e0:8a:90:61 And here's what it looks like normally: wi0: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet6 fe80::220:e0ff:fe8a:9061%wi0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet 192.168.1.101 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:20:e0:8a:90:61 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect (DS/11Mbps) status: associated ssid TREVARTHAN 1:TREVARTHAN stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 6 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode MIXED weptxkey 1 wepkey 1:104-bit Here's my `pciconf -lv | grep -A 3 wi0` output: wi0@pci2:2:0: class=0x028000 card=0x04061668 chip=0x38731260 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intersil Americas Inc (Was: Harris Semiconductor)' device = 'PRISM 2.5 802.11b 11Mbps Wireless Controller' class = network And here's my `uname -a`: FreeBSD trevarthan.int.wingnet.net 5.2.1-RC2 FreeBSD 5.2.1-RC2 #0: Thu Feb 12 16:28:31 GMT 2004 root@wv1u.btc.adaptec.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Is anyone else experiencing this problem with wi and a relatively current firmware?

I was wondering if it was possible to use the atheros driver in FreeBSD 4.9, because my laptop doesn't seem to like the 5.2 Release ( gets stuck before starting sysinstall when I try installing it, as it has unfortunately done since 5.X ). If so, where can I download it? If it isn't possible to use the atheros driver, which loader.conf "switches" would you recommend trying? I suspect the computer freezes when polling the sound card (it does so in FreeBSD 4.9), which is in pci1, I believe... Thanks again and have a great time!

To reduce it to what I think is the simplest form: I'm running XFree86 4.3.0 on an IBM ThinkPad X23 under FreeBSD 4.8, with Gnome/Metacity. The built-in screen has a maximum resolution of 1024x768. I would like to be able to plug in an external monitor and have that monitor display with a higher resolution, without having to restart X (and thus have to shut down all my running X apps, etc.). How can I accomplish this, if it's even possible? Thank you.

I don't think it is possible. Maybe someday soon though.

This has the obvious disadvantage that it doesn't resize the desktop. RandR will resize the desktop as well as the viewable resolution.

You must be talking about this thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.mobile/6619 And this one: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.mobile/6623 And then another comment by you here: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.mobile/6644/match=prism+timeout+oberman Much of that talk seems to suggest that I need to upgrade my firmware to 1.1.1/1.7.4 and then think about installing Marko's patch. He said himself at one point that he doesn't think his patch should be committed. I'll upgrade to 1.7.4 and see if it solves the problem. Firmware upgrades for this card are pretty painless. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

However, the boot then hangs on loading the keyboard driver. Strangely enough, this seems to be cured by entering the bios settings and changing the boot device to cdrom first. Even with no cd in the drive it will then boot okay, and continue to do so even when the bios settings are changed back. I haven't checked yet but it seems the act of changing the bios corrects the problem. All is then fine until the next attempted cold boot after the machine has been off for some time. Any ideas as to a solution or even what the problem may be would be appreciated. Apart from this minor glitch I am enjoying my experience with Freebsd. I'm not about to abandon Debian just yet, but it is great to compare the different approaches, and to find that Freebsd is equally as usable as Linux. I would not say that one is better than the other. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and I suspect preference is often determined by which O/S people become familiar with first. That excludes, of course, those with a passionate idealogical commitment to one licensing model or the other. Try the new improved Yahoo!

The MA401 uses the Prism chipset and the Belkin adapter is PCI 2.1 You can find these on eBay. I've had good luck with the two sets I have. I've upgraded the firmware to the latest and have used them in Access Point mode with HostAP drivers. Worked fine with some generic ADMtek cards. This page was helpful, though you have to watch out since some brands change chipsets without changing the model numbers. http://www.seattlewireless.net/index.cgi/Client_5fAdapters_5f802_5f11b Read some bad things about the quality of MA401 cards on the web, but the two I have seem to be fine. Haven't really stressed them though. Andrew Quoting Neil Camara : > Hey guys, > > I've given up with troubleshooting my Dlink DWL-520 wireless card.

PCI, Prism 2.5 chipset, I've got two running for some time as APs with firmware 1.1.1/1.5.6. It claims PCI 2.2 but one is on a 5 yr old motherboard (Tyan Trinity 100AT with the dreaded VIA MVP3 chipset) which is probably pre-PCI 2.1 3Com 3CRDW696 (also Prism 2.5) looks like a very similar proposition but I don't have much experience with that yet. -- Bob Bishop +44 (0)118 977 4017 rb@gid.co.uk fax +44 (0)118 989 4254 From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Feb 18 10:07:14 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id B6FF716A4CE for ; Wed, 18 Feb 2004 10:07:14 -0800 (PST) Received: from restricted.dyndns.org (wl-64-135-220-60.FoxValley.net [64.135.220.60]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3931243D1D for ; Wed, 18 Feb 2004 10:07:14 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from neil-on-mobile@buko.restricted.dyndns.org) Received: (qmail 56995 invoked by uid 89); 18 Feb 2004 18:04:09 -0000 Message-ID: <20040218180409.56994.qmail@restricted.dyndns.org> References: <20040218080058.14878.qmail@restricted.dyndns.org> <20040218094743.GA83099@abigail.blackend.org> In-Reply-To: <20040218094743.GA83099@abigail.blackend.org> From: "Neil Camara" To: Marc Fonvieille Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 12:04:09 -0600 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: wireless card recommendation X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2004 18:07:14 -0000 Can you guys give me a link on PCI-->PCMCIA adapter.

I recently installed 5.2-RELEASE on my laptop, which went fine - in fact, so well that ACPI can now tell me how much time I have left on my battery!!! :) BUT (and there's always a 'BUT') I rebuilt my kernel with "oldcard" to use the pccard functionality I need. The sad bit is that the pccard slots are NOT detected when ACPI is enabled at bootup, but ARE enabled when ACPI is disabled at boot. How come? Is there a fix? Is it a bug? Will I have to spend the rest of my days either booting to use my network card, or booting to see how much time I have left with the battery? Look forward to your replies Phil. ---------------------------------------------------------- UNIX is user-friendly; it's just picky about its friends!!!

Just saw the answer from my own post. wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary 1.00.07, Station 1.03.06 > How do I upgrade my firmware? I've read the upgrading of Intersil firmware at http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/. It mentions here that primary and station firmware should not be partnered with other versions. I would like to upgrade mine to fix the sporadic behavior. Can someone share their own experience when they did the firmware upgrade? What version of firmware you installed? I'm planning of using 1.7.4. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The only know working method appears to be a) boot windows 9x or later b) upgrade from there using the windows firmware upgrade utility from Netgear Which is all well and good if you have a copy of windows installed on the machine. I'm in the same situation, I could not get the [free]dos flash utility to upgrade the card either. The alternative appears to be boot some version of linux with the hostap drivers compiled to allow firmware upgrade. Well, I've not been able to find such an image that also includes a [dos,iso9660,ufs] filesystem I can access the rom images from at the same time. Anyone know of one?

If you look at the table here: http://linux.junsun.net/intersil-prism/IDtable.html You can see what goes with what per component ID. If your drivers don't list the component ID then I would probably make an educated guess and try it with the WinUpdate utility. The WinUpdate utility will then tell you which component ID you have before it flashes the card. Just make sure it's correct. I upgraded once from 1.4.2 to 1.4.9, and again from 1.4.9 to 1.7.4. So far (two days) 1.7.4 is incredibly stable, but I don't do HostAP. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

I think I was able to nail down the culprit. The issues I am talking about here is when the wi interface gets flooded like when we are doing an ftp to the same host that has the wi interface card. I noticed that when I downloaded a 4mb mp3 files. I lost my connection in Windows XP running WSFTP_LE in just 2% :( Here is the chronological order. Btw, same test using wsftp and same files. 1. Previously, Primary 1.0.7 S 1.3.6, there were seek timeout issues 2. I upgraded it to 1.5.6 and the S that came with it, much more errors such as Busy won't clear bit. This is annoying since you can't do anything in your console. You will be only able to gain control once you start seeing unable to fill buffer on NIC 1546 bytes. Something like this. 3. Downgraded to 1.4.9 and was hoping that it will be stable. Same behavior as in number 2. These testings are done with the patch I found which was DELAY(1). This didn't help too. I actually almost gave up. Anyways, I also read somewhere about WEP issues. I modified my wifi.sh script to disable wep (wicontrol -e 0). I also modified my Windows XP's config wherein WEP was unchecked. So I got connectivity. Executed 12 windows of cmd.exe running simple ping. While ping where running, I also tested wsftp client. I REALLY CAN'T BELIEVE IT. It's working properly and it's not dropping my connection. Now, you will ask me, what about your security?! I did create a IPSec Policy using MMC in Windows XP, then I also created spdadd IPSec policy in FreeBSD plus, I installed racoon so that it can automatically exchange keys. I'm very happy now!!! I can say that there is a buffer code issue in WEP module. I wish I know how to low level code. But, anyways, this is my 2 cents. Have a great day guys.

Wow. You've been busy. :) Glad you got it working. For what it's worth, what WAS your component ID? I'm running this: wi0: mem 0xf0000000-0xf0000fff irq 9 at device 2.0 on pci2 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:20:e0:8a:90:61 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.1), Station (1.7.4) wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps And it's very stable even with 104 (128) bit WEP encryption in infrastructure mode (haven't tried hostAP or ad-hoc). I think I'll probably continue running WEP once I get my IPSec stuff setup. Nothing like multiple layers to deter intruders. > I can say that there is a buffer code issue in WEP module. I wish I know > how to low level code. But, anyways, this is my 2 cents. Well, if you were experiencing that in Windows XP too, then I'd say it's a firmware issue. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

Well, it's been two days since I upgraded to 1.7.4 and I haven't seen a single hicup yet. I'm currently deleting 10,000 messages from one of my IMAP folders using KMail - an operation that used to grind my wireless connection to a screeching halt - and not even a single hesitation! Someday soon I think I'll try out hostAP mode and see how well it works with 5.2.1-RC2 and this firmware. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

You want to do the following: ifconfig ath0 mediaopt monitor up (where other stuff might be commands to set the channel). At that point you can run programs like Ethereal and tcpdump w/o the driver trying to associate with an AP. If you get the latest ethereal from CVS it has radiotap support which lets you look at frames "below the 802.11 layer". The tcpdump port likewise has radiotap support; you do tcpdump -i ath0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO (I think, this is from memory).

Yep big issues, but could be solved by changing the channel you are using via the channel option in ifconfig. Probably using 6, try 11 or 3. One or other may give better results Pete From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Feb 21 23:34:05 2004 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 299D416A4CE for ; Sat, 21 Feb 2004 23:34:05 -0800 (PST) Received: from illuin.org (firewall.illuin.org [66.141.59.1]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id BEF8343D1D for ; Sat, 21 Feb 2004 23:34:04 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from richard@illuin.org) Received: (qmail 51748 invoked by uid 1000); 22 Feb 2004 07:33:53 -0000 Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 01:33:53 -0600 (CST) From: Richard Letts To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org In-Reply-To: <20040222062357.20054.qmail@restricted.dyndns.org> Message-ID: <20040222012950.S51595@hobbiton.illuin.org> References: <20040222062357.20054.qmail@restricted.dyndns.org> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Subject: Re: weak signal X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 22 Feb 2004 07:34:05 -0000 On Sun, 22 Feb 2004, Neil Camara wrote: > Hey guys, > > I am using Netgear MA311 PCI card on FreeBSD as my access point.

I picked up an external Omnidirection antenna from Frys last weekend for my MA311 for about $30. I think it was a SMC or LynkSys, either way it sits on top of my freeBSD box instead of burried in the tangle of wires at the back and I get quite a lot more signal to the tivo box, and our laptops. /RjL
