Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Another problem I'm having with 4.4 involves the wireless LAN card I use with my laptop. I have a Webgear Aviator card (not Aviator Pro), which works off the "ray" driver. I'm used to configuring the card using a sequence like: # kldload /modules/if_ray.ko # pccardc pccardmem 0xd4000 # pccardc enabler 0 0 ray0 -m 0 d4000 -i 3 # ifconfig ray0 192.168.247.5 (I do all this manually, rather than using pccardd, due to bad interactions between the ray driver and pccardd in earlier versions of FreeBSD - I'm not sure the problem is still relevant, though.) This works fine in FreeBSD 4.3. In FreeBSD 4.4, everything is fine until I hit the "ifconfig" command, which hangs - but it's not the whole machine that hangs, just the "ifconfig" command, I can switch to another virtual console, log in, run commands, whatever. "ps" shows that ifconfig is sleeping on "rayinit". If I go back to the ifconfig window and control-C the ifconfig command, the system panics with a "ccs not allocated" panic, called from the ray driver. (I wish I had the exact text of the panic message with me right now, but I don't, unfortunately....) Does anyone know if the ray driver is truly broken in 4.4, or am I just doing something stupid? --Pat.
