I doubt very much that the driver will run on -current. All the code was developed against against 3.1-RELEASE and has been tested fairly extensively on various -STABLE versions. I'll migrate it to 3.2 as soon as I get around to upgrading the laptop. With all the newbus-ification that's been going on in -current, I think you'll be SOL. Feel free to prove me wrong though! On top of that, I suspect that the driver as it exists in the master source tree won't even work on -STABLE. Last time I looked, phk (I think) had put a large comment around the xe_memread() and xe_memwrite functions, declaring them to be bogus. If you're running that version, I'm not surprised it's falling over in the probe routine :-( The 'official' version of the code is at: http://ukug.uk.freebsd.org/~scott/xe_drv/ which doesn't have those changes and should work under -STABLE at least. > Which Xircom card specifically?? > Which rev of if_xe.c do you have? If you have 1.20, please try 1.19. Is there something screwy with 1.20? I didn't think I'd made any functional changes in that version, just documentation stuff, and renaming things to mach the Xircom spec. I've added freebsd-xircom to the cc: It's probably the best place for this thread.
