Subject:   problem with iwi driver in 8.0 and custom kernel (works on generic)
Message-ID:  <4B316240.2070309@yahoo.it>

i've got some problems with iwi in Freebsd 8.0, using GENERIC kernel 
everything works just fine, compiling a custom kernel, just excluding 
some modules i don't need, cause an interrupt storm to happen on irq11:

Dec 22 22:35:18 legend kernel: iwi0: <Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG> mem 
0xb0101000-0xb0101fff irq 10 at device 4.0 on pci6
Dec 22 22:35:18 legend kernel: iwi0: [ITHREAD]
Dec 22 22:35:22 legend kernel: wlan0: Ethernet address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
Dec 22 22:35:32 legend kernel: interrupt storm detected on "irq11:"; 
throttling interrupt source
Dec 22 22:35:33 legend kernel: iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss 
firmware initialization to complete
Dec 22 22:35:33 legend kernel: iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss


maybe these other info from dmesg could be of some help to track down 
the problem:

i did read somewhere in the forums/mls that a patch was on STABLE to 
solve a interrupt storm related to PCI: could it be related to this?
is there a patch i can apply to get rid of this problem?

(i've tried to compile kernel with/without optimizations which you will 
find commented out in the configuration attached to the mail, obtaining 
always the same interrupt storm problem.)

thanks

regards
ocean
