Up to a certain point (4.1 or so) it was possible to get a WL200 (which is
a WL100 wireless pcmcia with a PD6729 pcmcia<->pci bridge afaik) to work
on FreeBSD.
In 4.7 and -CURRENT it consistently will either hang at boot, hang after
detection or not function, whilst emmitting wi0 watchdog timeout and init
attempts.
I noticed that there is now a new
hw.pcic.pd6729_intr_path
I assume this is identical to hw.pcic.intr_path but specific to this
bridge ?
Secondly - does anyone have a config which works for 4.7 or -CURRENT
with the WL200 ? Or hints on BIOS settings.
We tried combinations of:
-> BIOS - plug and play - always set to no
PCI AUTO
assign to specific IRQ
ISA auto
matchin manual assign on PCI slot
-> pccard.conf was updated to match above.
-> loader.conf: hw.pcic:
-> ignore_function_1 yes/no
init_path any 0 caused an early hang
pd6729_int_path 0,2 hang, 1 boot through
-> irq polling or manual to mach bios.
Old functional config on 4.1:
hw.pcic.intr_path=1
hw.pcic.irq=0
hw.pcic.ignore_function_1=1
Any suggestions of what to try ? Or what dmesg/info to provide to dig
deeper into this ?
