Re: precise timing
[...] was suggested you may want to consider a dedicated cpu based controller. Thre are a number of solutions for hobbyists (such as the handyboard, see www.handyboard.com). Unfortunately, money is a big factor. So that's not an option. :/ Atmel AVR microcontrollers are $10 from distributors like Digikey (and Digikey usually has high prices). They're very slick and VERY FAST. You can do 12 MIPS with one of their chips. Of course you'd need to spend some time learning their instruction sets/learning how to code in C for them. There is a C compiler in the ports named avr-gcc to do just that. As for programmers, you can program these chips with a simple homebrew cable that plugs into your parallel port. Please see: http://www.bsdhome.com/avrprog Is that cheap enough? -- Regards, Devin. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-hackers in the body of the message

The difference is only this: Older radio MAC format: - Newer radio MAC format: XX-- or XXX-- So in addition to porting the basic driver to freebsd, it would be smart to add code to accommodate the newer radios. Oh, and the new radios work in peer-to-peer mode just fine.

There's also a script for making shell drivers under /usr/share/examples/drivers.

Comments? URL's for IRQ101? Perhaps I should just stop whingeing and go hack with it to see what happens? (probably best). Jamie Dave I've had to deal with this frustration too (and I still do) because there is no good documentation to speak of for writing FreeBSD device drivers. It wouldn't be so bad if there were man pages for many of the commonly used functions like rman_get_bustag(), etc. This way you could study the code of other drivers and quickly be able to identify and understand the function calls you were seeing. Instead of grumbling "what the !@#$ does that function call do?" just type "man 9 foo" or whatever. This is IMHO one of the advantages linux has over FreeBSD. You can run by your local Barnes Noble bookstore and pick up a copy of "Linux Device Drivers" and start writing code that you actually understand.

Panics from trying to open dev after kldunload
Hi all, I'm working on a device driver for FreeBSD for a VoIP telephony card and I stumbled upon a serious problem. If I "kldunload" my driver and subsequently try to open the device, the kernel panics. I found that the vn device suffers from this same bug. For example: Before kldload vn: [root@dbm]# echo -n/dev/vn0 su: /dev/vn0: Device not configured [root@dbm]# This of course is the expected behavior. We then can do this... [root@dbm]# kldload vn [root@dbm]# echo -n/dev/vn0 [root@dbm]# Again, expected behavior... But if we then do this... [root@dbm]# kldunload vn [root@dbm]# echo -n/dev/vn0 we get an instant panic. It seems that there is already a pr open for this (kern/18270) which includes a patch to correctly cleanup after "kldunload".

Unknown driver gobbles resources??
Hi all, In the process of learning device driver writing, I have written a simple skeleton driver for an isa PnP card I have. Thanks to some kind folks on the list I have ironed out most of my confusion. However I've run into a strange problem that has me stumped. Although this driver works (successfully probes, attaches, and gets it's needed io resources) when compiled into the kernel, if I compile it as a loadable module it fails to get it's io resources when loaded, and if I try to then unload it, the kernel panics (as the driver trys to release resources that were never allocated). I found that if I remove the "unknown" driver in isa_common.c with #if 0...#endif, my driver will load just fine! So my question is this: Do I need to do anything special to recover the resources from the unknown driver so that during loading *my* module can get the resources it needs?? Do I need to add something to my identify, probe, or attach routines to make this work right? Thanks again. -- Regards, Devin.

It should just happen. And you'll likely not need an identify routine. The Unknown device just sucks up the plug and play resources. Therefore, there's already a device node in the tree addociated with that plug and play hardware, so your probe routine will just be called. However, this is fairly recent (like on the order of the first part of July, 2000). Before that you did ineed have to jump though many many hoops to make this work.
