However, I have been running into trouble getting my pnp ISA modem to work. It is a Zoom K56FLEX modem, and it is not a winmodem, and supports hayes commands. I found the documentation for setting up these things in the Handbook/FAQ, but they seem to be no longer valid since the instructions dont work. The pnp boot time command doesnt work at all. A friend suggested I compile the kernel with "options PNPBIOS" or so in the config file, it compiled properly, and I booted, the only change I noticed where a few new boot time error messages. unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources I would like to get the modem working, the lack of means for configuration and documentation has left me frustrated. The modem works in other OSs. Below I have included printout from pnpinfo command and relevent parts of dmesg. Thankyou for any assistance anyone can provide in this matter, it is apprieciated. dmesg: FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE #0: Sun Jul 8 15:36:29 GMT 2001 isab0: at device 7.0 on pci0 isa0: on isab0 isa0: too many dependant configs (8) unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources pnpinfo: Checking for Plug-n-Play devices...

Both require added software. Unless you have an older IBM ThinkPad, it's not likely that the mWave is relevant, but if so, see /usr/ports/comms/mwavem. I'm still waiting for a commit of my last update, so it will require a minor edit to the Makefile to work. There is also a driver for the Lucent WinModem(tm) available. Check the archives, as I don't have a bookmark for it. There is an effort to get the Lucent driver into the base system, but it's tricky because the basic kernel module is distributed by Lucent only as a binary for Linux and that has been "shimmed" to load with FreeBSD.

These are the ones I was also getting: ======================================================== unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources unknown: can't assign resources isa0: too many dependant configs (8) ======================================================== The similarities between your case and mine are: ISA, PnP, Modem. Obviously this combo causes problems with FreeBSD? Or it might be because FBSD doesn't support these particular modems? Anyway if anyone can explain the reason for the above messages (especially the too many dependant configs one), please let us know. Me, I think I'll just get me a PCI modem instead...

If it's so terrible, then why is it that 3ware's network-attached storage box (which uses 3ware's RAID cards) runs FreeBSD internally instead of Linux? The person your boss spoke to was almost certainly a salesdroid who either honestly has no clue, or has been told to push Linux for some reason or another. I will let Mike comment on the quality (or lack thereof) of the Linux driver compared to his FreeBSD driver (and I know he will), but I would not put too much stock in what this Rackables person told you.

No. I'm sure Mike Smith will reply, but in case he doesn't, I think 3ware is using FreeBSD with Mike's driver for a NAS solution that they plan to market. If 3ware uses FreeBSD with the twe(4) driver as its platform of choice, that should say something. Also, tell your boss to call up 3ware and ask for their opinion. -- John Baldwin -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.baldwin.cx/~john/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Thu Aug 9 13:44:56 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from krell.webweaver.net (krell.webweaver.net [64.124.90.11]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 4EF6E37B401; Thu, 9 Aug 2001 13:44:52 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from nicole@unixgirl.com) Received: from xwin.nmhtech.com (xwin.daemontech.net [208.135.51.161]) by krell.webweaver.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id D7EFF20F10; Thu, 9 Aug 2001 13:44:51 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: X-Mailer: XFMail 1.4.0 on FreeBSD X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit MIME-Version: 1.0 In-Reply-To: <20010809201438.E96F537B405@hub.freebsd.org> Date: Thu, 09 Aug 2001 13:44:51 -0700 (PDT) From: Hodge Podge To: (Bill Paul) Subject: Re: 3ware FreeBSD support being trashed by rackable systems?

Hello, I used to have this model and it worked perfectly for me under FreeBSD. This is what I used to do in order to set it correctly: I would disable (both) COM ports in BIOS, then I would compile the kernel with _just_ this option (for serial ports): device sio2 at isa? port IO_COM3 irq 5 Where sio2 == COM 3. Also I wouldn't include the first two COM ports. And I think that in the documentation that came with the modem there are instructions on how to set it to irq 5, do that before you compile the kernel with the above instructions. I hope you get it working 'cos its a good modem.

To be clear, Rackable Systems is a BIG fan, and supporter of FreeBSD as an O/S and an organization and would never trash BSD. The quotation of Rackable is inaccurate. What was said is that 3-WARE has had some problems with drivers in general and did not compile the BSD drivers for their products, as they did (or at least facilitated the compilation) for Linux. In addition it was stated that we have a BSD-savvy customer that is struggling with this driver and 3-WARE's support of BSD in general.

I greatly appreciate the strong support that I enjoy from the FreeBSD community; it makes my job a lot easier. 8) Firstly; Jason: If you or any of your customers are having issues with 3ware products in conjunction with FreeBSD, you are strongly encouraged to contact me so that we can work them out. I'm not aware of anyone that's currently suffering major issues, and most certainly not with the driver. As for 3ware "compiling" (you mean writing) the driver - no, it would make no sense for them to do so. They have, however, provided me with excellent support, sample hardware, answers to awkward questions and all in all they have been a great company to work with. Folks in general: If you call 3ware and get an unhelpful answer, suggest that the tech check with their supervisor. If they're still not willing to provide you with assistance, let me know and I'll apply some gentle encouragement. It's important to be polite and persistent though; you represent revenue to 3ware, and that's a point worth making. As for the quote; I don't think a witch-hunt is in order. Nicole; your boss is welcome to talk to me directly. I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to clear my name. 8) Regards, Mike > > Greetings! > > To be clear, Rackable Systems is a BIG fan, and supporter of FreeBSD as an > O/S and an organization and would never trash BSD.

Point 2: When my boss (who is sincerly interested in your product) said that he was software agnostic he was heavily pushed/perswaded by your words that using Linux was what he should do. Not only with your product, but all the other servers we have using the 3ware card. Point 3: I appologise for creating such a ruckus, but it really irks me when someone representing the views of a company disparages FreeBSD, or a driver contained within. Please remember that as a respected company that your words can carry a bit of weight. I encourage you to work with Mike Smith to correct any misunderstandings or problems you might have that should hopefully lead you to complete software Ignostics or maybe even favoring FreeBSD. Also please accept the offer to present your wares at the next BAFUG (Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group) and hopefully by that time also be able to present good news abt these issues. Be well.

I use the 3ware cards on FreeBSD, Linux, NT4 and Win2K. In terms of my satisfaction, its FreeBSD, Linux a close second, win2k and NT4 a distant 3 and 4. I have deployed dozens of FreeBSD boxes in RAID0, 1 and 10 and have had super reliability. I have 4 LINUX boxes running with the card as well, and generally I am happy with it as well. Performance on the *SAME* hardware was better under FreeBSD. On Win2k it seems 80% of the time, a simple reboot makes the controller think the drives are degraded and its time to rebuild etc... ---Mike Mike Tancsa (mdtancsa@sentex.net) =09 Sentex Communications Corp, =09 Waterloo, Ontario, Canada "Given enough time, 100 monkeys on 100 routers=20 could setup a national IP network."
