Hi,
We was using FreeBSD and WaveLAN without problems. But now we are trying
to use 4.2-20001219-STABLE and we are found some problems. We have got
one PII 350MHz (chiset 440 BX motherboard) working fine, but using some
old motherboards we get this error:
wi0: device timeout
wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC
wi0: tx buffer allocation failed
wi0: failed to alloacte 1594 bytes on NIC
wi0: mgmt. buffer allocation failed
That old motherboard has got the chipset VIA VT82C576M with a Pentium
100MHz. Looking at result from dmesg there is a little difference:
work-> there are isab0 and isa0 at motherboard that works:
isab0: <Intel 82371AB PCI to ISA bridge> at device 7.0 on pci0
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
don't work-> there isn't isab0!!!:
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
We've got another older motherboard (chipset intel TX) working fine with
FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, and we can found isab0 on dmesg:
isab0: <Intel 82371AB PCI to ISA bridge> at device 7.0 on pci0
isa0: <ISA bus> on isab0
Likely the wi0 require a isab0 (I think). Why when are we using FreeBSD
4.2-STABLE we can't found a isab0 on old motherboard? Why don't wi0 works?
We've installed FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE on same VIA motherboard to test and
all works fine. But on that motherboard we can't found a isab0 with dmesg,
too. Are we thinking wrong?
When we are using same motherboard (VIA VT82C576M) with FBSD 4.1-RELEASE
are all working fine? We've tested FBSD 4.2-RELEASE and
4.2-20001219-STABLE and both don't work on this motherboard.
Finally: Why are all versions tested of FreeBSD working fine using a 440BX
motherboard?
Thanks,
Paulo Fragoso.
