D-Link wireless LAN card not working in 5.3-R

2005-10-14 Thread N Deepak
Hi,

  I am running FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE on IBM ThinkPad R40e.  I have
  compiled a custom kernel.

  I have a D-Link wireless LAN card:  DWL-G650+

  When I insert the card into PCMCIA slot, I see this in
  /var/log/messages:

Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Expecting link target,
got 0x2a
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Resource not specified in
CIS: id=10, size=2000
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Resource not specified in
CIS: id=14, size=2
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: network at device 0.0
(no driver attached)
Oct 14 12:16:15 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cbb0: CardBus card activation
failed

  I have enabled PCMCIA devices in the kernel config:

# PCCARD (PCMCIA) support
# PCMCIA and cardbus bridge support
device  cbb # cardbus (yenta) bridge
device  pccard  # PC Card (16-bit) bus
device  cardbus # CardBus (32-bit) bus

  Relevant text from dmesg:

cbb0: TI1510 PCI-CardBus Bridge mem 0xb000-0xbfff irq 11 at
device 12.0 on pci0
cardbus0: CardBus bus on cbb0
pccard0: 16-bit PCCard bus on cbb0

  Any pointers to get the card working?

Thanks!
Deepak

IIRC it has never worked. I had one and tried with ndis, but I 
never got it working so eventually I threw it away and got a 
reliable brand, 3Com.


I won't exclude that you cat get it working but consider if it is 
worth the effort compared to the price of a new card that just 
works (TM).


Cheers, Erik

I have the same card working fine on 5.4; do you have ath enabled in
the kernel? There are multiple versions of the card, so I can't
guarantee that your version will work with the ath driver, but
there's a good chance you can get it to work.

 Thanks.  A search for 'ath' in the configuration file gave no
 matches.  There is no such .ko in my /boot/kernel either.

Look for ath_hal.ko after you've compiled your kernel.

 Do I have to add a:
 deviceath

 line in my config file and recompile?  (as per ath(4))

Yes.

Don't forget about:

device ath_hal

in the kernel configuration file.

Thanks.  I already found one ath_hal.ko in /boot/kernel, and I could
kldload it successfully.  But when I inserted my DWL-G650+, I got the
same messages:

Oct 15 08:56:30 deepak-bsd53 kernel: cardbus0: Expecting link target,

(I am in FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE.)
