Hello Freebsd-Questions, I have an Asus laptop running FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p4. I have successfully configured both the wired and wireless interfaces. They both work individually. I use the wireless interface more than the wired, so I have attempted to us link aggregation (LAGG) to tie the two together so either can be used when connected. lagg and iwn have been added into a custom compiled kernel. FreeBSD on this Asus uses alc0 for the wired interface and iwn(wlan0) for the wireless interface. The following is in my rc.conf: ifconfig_alc0="up" wlans_iwn0="wlan0" ifconfig_wlan0="up wpa" cloned_interfaces="lagg0" ifconfig_lagg0="laggproto failover laggport wlan0 laggport alc0" ipv4_addrs_lagg0="192.168.2.90/24" defaultrouter="192.168.2.1" hostname="asus.local" Looking at various documentation shows this should support wlan0 as the master and alc0 as the failover. Everything is working like it should. However, every so often, I get messages on the console stating: alc0: phy read timeout : 0 alc0: phy read timeout : 17 alc0: phy read timeout : 1 ... alc0: phy read timeout : 1 Even though this is happening, there doesn't appear to be any issues. Can anyone shed light on why these messages are showing up? -- If at first you don't succeed, so much for skydiving."
