Log:
Add some incomplete support for Marvell Yukon EC controllers based on
OpenBSD changes. With these changes, PHY part of the driver becomes
functional (it senses media changes and negotiates speed just fine),
previously it just hang with no PHY message, but no data goes through
interface (error message is "can not stop transfer of Tx/Rx descriptor).
Hopefully somebody with more clue/free time will be able to pick up
after me.
Maxim, I patched if_sk in a similar fashion, and got the same errors you
did. I took a look at the Linux sky2 driver which works with the
MacBook Yukon-II, and the Yukon-II chipset is very different from the
Yukon.
However, I did find that the SysKonnect-provided Yukon-II driver works
quite well (see
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-net/2006-January/009543.html).
Building the driver was easy. I just untarred the source to
/usr/src/sys/dev/myk, and did a make all. With this driver, I was able to get
the wired ethernet in the MacBook to pass traffic.
Thanks for the pointer, I will try that. It is not a big issue for me,
though, since ath works perfectly just OOB.
BTW, thanks for your work on the reboot issue. Oh, and are you using
Don't mention it. The other big and still unresolved issue is getting
SMP working. I have tried to debug it and as long as I can tell second
core for some reason doesn't start at all. I have even attempted to
borrow second CPU kick in magic from xnu (Darwin kernel), but the result
is the same. My current guess is that since it's mobile processor, the
2nd core may be turned off for power saving purposes and needs some
(ACPI?) hohomagic to power it up. Unfortunately I can't find any
documentation on the processor to check. It is interesting that both
Linux and Windows don't have any problems with getting it working OOB.
Alt at boot-time to select FreeBSD, or have you done some EFI magic to
make FreeBSD the default boot partition?
The former. I think it should be possible to change partition type to be
FAT temporarily, switch default operating system via MacOS control panel
(see Boot Camp docco for details) and then switch is back partition type
to FreeBSD, but I have not tried that.
