Attempting to install the firware obtained from the address given in the man page (and other versions from elsewhere) fails using pkg_add. The man page appears to be incorrect: # kldload if_upgt KLD if_upgt.ko: depends on upgtfw_fw - not available or version mismatch kldload: can't load if_upgt: No such file or directory # man 4 upgt .. This driver requires the upgtfw firmware to be installed before it will work. A package of the firmware which can be installed via pkg_add(1) is available: http://weongyo.org/project/upgt/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz .. # pkg_add upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz tar: +CONTENTS: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_add: tar extract of /usr/home/anil/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz failed! pkg_add: unable to extract table of contents file from '/usr/home/anil/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz' - not a package? >How-To-Repeat: Download the firmware zipped tar from the upgt(4) man page and attempt to pkg_add: # pkg_add upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz tar: +CONTENTS: Not found in archive tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors. pkg_add: tar extract of /usr/home/anil/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz failed! pkg_add: unable to extract table of contents file from '/usr/home/anil/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz' - not a package? >Fix: A normal build DOES work to install the firmware: # mkdir /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/upgtfw # cd /usr/src/sys/modules/usb/upgtfw # cp ~/upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz . # get the upgtfw package from wherever it was # tar -xf upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz # rm upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0.tar.gz # mv upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0/* . # rmdir upgt-firmware-2.13.1.0 # make # kldload if_upgt # kldstat if_upgt.ko upgtfw.ko Wireless adapter dependent on the upgt driver started working after this, proving build worked. Forum thread where this was worked out: http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=5108 To fix this I have included a patch for the man page /usr/src/share/man/man4/upgt.4 Patch attached with submission follows: --- /usr/src/share/man/man4/upgt.4.orig 2009-08-03 18:13:06.000000000 +1000 +++ /usr/src/share/man/man4/upgt.4 2010-09-25 15:53:46.000000000 +1000 @@ -144,7 +144,8 @@ The firmware files are not publicly available.
