You did not specifically name any problems, but I most decidedly cannot
confirm brokenness with iwi, as it stands now. Earlier I also used to get
firmware crashes (but I not only use WPA2, but also a hidden SSID, which
may complicate matters even more) But these are gone with recent
-CURRENT (and yes, this is 8-CURRENT in this case), I use it without
probs right now.

FWIW, I also had good results with ral(4) (but did not try ural(4)).

7.0-RELEASE panic after ~4 hours

2008-03-26 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

Over the longs last weekend I've installed FreeBSD 7.0-REL on my laptop
and around 200 ports; I point this out to say that the laptop run
without any reboot from Friday morning to Monday evening at home in my
WEP based Wifi-zone;

on Thursday and today I'm working in my office from around 9 o'clock and
each day after 4 hours the system panic'ed:

Mar 25 09:02:43 rebelion syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Mar 25 13:00:03 rebelion savecore: reboot after panic: clist reservation botch
 
Mar 26 09:11:04 rebelion syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
Mar 26 13:22:29 rebelion savecore: reboot after panic: page fault

the main difference between home and work is: WEP at home and WPA2 at
work;

as well I see in messages a lot of:

Mar 26 08:24:51 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 08:25:01 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 08:25:11 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting

Mar 26 08:42:05 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 09:48:58 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 10:54:08 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:04:13 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:21:17 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:37:43 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting
Mar 26 12:54:17 rebelion kernel: iwi0: firmware stuck in state 4, resetting

Before I was for more than a year on 6.2-REL and without any panic which
was not caused by pulling out the PCMCIA UMTS card; so I think it is not
a hardware issue;

Any comments?

Which WiFi board are you using? Several drivers are known to cause panics when

sorry for not mention that:

iwi0: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG mem 0xc8305000-0xc8305fff irq 18 at device 
5.0 on pci6
iwi0: Ethernet address: 00:13:ce:a1:e6:81

when it will crash tomorrow again, I will try it some days without Wifi
and plug-in Ethernet;

I am aware only of issues with USB adapters being removed while 
wpa_supplicant is running.  This is a race in the usb code that I have 
worked around in the forthcoming vap code (not sure if the technique I 
used can be ported to RELENG_7).  Regardless, for any issue to be 
pursued the usual info is required; the device identity, a stack trace, 
and if possible, debug msgs from the kernel prior to a problem 
(wlandebug enables net80211 msgs and every driver has a debug msg knob 
that may or may not require building a kernel w/ msgs enabled).


iwi has most recently been tended by Andrew Thompson who is traveling so 
may not follow up for a bit (if sufficient info is provided).

Actually, there's more I'm afraid.

iwi: Don't know because I don't use that one. But it's a cousin of wpi and
 if I'm not mistaken it was the same person who initiated development of
 both drivers.

wpi: No panics, but just doesn't work with wpa_supplicant at all (fails to
 associate). This is a known problem and people are working on it.

Neither of these are USB adapters.

rum: Works but panics after a while. PR has been filed, but seems to be stuck
 at feedback status (anyone know more about this one?).

Not true. under 7-current for me wpa works on my wpi adapter. I have had 
one panic but havent been able to replicate it yet, (i'm only blaming 
the wireless because it hasnt paniced on wired.

Care to elaborate on what you did? Because in my and some other people's cases
we can't get wpi to work with wpa_supplicant no matter what we try.

Just noted the -current thingy. I'm running 7-release, with or without a
patch by Andrew (2 kernels available). If it works with 7-current, perhaps
there are some patches I missed?

Nothing special. Oh and Thats 7-STABLE not current (sorry was following 
7 as current for ages and forgot its finally stable :)


All i need to do is
ifconfig wpi0 up
then
wpa_supplicant -i wpi0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf


I can send my wpa_supplicant.conf if you like (but later as my wife is 
using that laptop booted into windows.)


The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 640m

Entirely possible, I'm running these versions

Thanks Vince, I'll check it out tomorrow (as well as gathering debug info
for the rum driver, btw), as it's getting quite late now.

At the moment, I have FreeBSD on my laptop but I can't do much with it
because I need the WiFi stuff (either wpi or rum, whichever works) for
Internet access. But I've been using FreeBSD over the wire for years so
there will be a small party when I can finally use my favorite OS again :-)

Later,

Alphons
