I’ve been running -current on a new laptop and have installed a number of snapshots since 7.99.59. With the 7.99.67 snapshot I’m seeing the message “iwm0: fatal firmware error” occasionally on boot. There is no other information on this that I can find and obviously at that point the network device isn’t usable. A reboot almost always seems to clear it up. Never saw this issue on earlier versions of -current, so I’m assuming it’s something that crept in.
dmesg report on this device: iwm0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0: vendor 8086 product 08b2 (rev. 0x83) iwm0: interrupting at msi2 vec 0 iwm0: hw rev 0x140, fw ver 17.352738.0, address 90:2e:1c:12:36:80 iwm0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps iwm0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps iwm0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps iwm0: fatal firmware error If anyone has an idea or suggestion to help track this down just let me know and I’ll do what I can to help out. -bob
