I'm working on a small neiborhood wide network with some friends of mine and I'm have a big problem with my BSD box. I'm running FreeBSD 4.3.. I think, I just cvsup'd to RELENG_4. I have a Lucent Orinoco Gold PCMCIA card and the PCI adapter to stick it in a stanard PC. I have my kernal recompiled and I see the orinoco device (wi0). It apears to be fine too, I was able to use /usr/sbin/wicontrol to set it to peer to peer and the correct network name. I have the ipconfigured and the routing table looks good. I have a couple laptops with Win98 and Win2k on them to test out our hack job antennas. This laptop can even see the other card. I can do a Link Test useing the win32 orinoco utilites. It should mean that the two cards are transmiting properly and on the same network. All seams well and good... except. Every time I try to use the interface I get this: /kernel: wi0: watchdog timeout Aparently the TI controler on the PCI card is programmed to use ISA interrupts and this isn't supported under FreeBSD-STABLE. From what I have been reading, somewhere, there is a magic patch that will make all my problems go away. Does anyone know where this patch is? And how the heck I install it? They say it works under -current... the last time I tried FreeBSD current I couldn't even boot after the update, I would like to stay with stable. If current will fix my problem, I will give it a try but I'm new to this whole unix thing. Is there another way around this? Has anyone else had experiance with these lucent cards under BSD?
