It would be very good if people could give the xe driver some attention in -CURRENT. I pushed things a little to get the xe driver in -STABLE as new bits are to be committed to -CURRENT 1st until they prove themselves. > On top of that, I suspect that the driver as it exists in the master > source tree won't even work on -STABLE. If that is the case, someone should send me diffs against the RELENG_3 branch. If the driver isn't working in the base tree, then it is useless for me to maintain it there. > 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. It would be really nice if someone closer to the issue would email phk@freebsd.org (yes it was him) and was why the cdevsw[] access is bogus and what the right way to implement the needed information is. :-))) > > Which Xircom card specifically?? > > Which rev of if_xe.c do you have?

There are no problems with 1.20 over 1.19 that I know of -- but as was said in a later email, it doesn't hurt to try an older rev of the driver. Until someone has one of every type of card the xe driver supports, it is very possible that some small change will break functionality on one of the cards. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com -or- obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
