Hi: I've many years of experience with FreeBSD, Linux and Unix. However, when it comes to getting a D-link USB FM radio working, I'm stumped. I'm appealing to anyone on this list for help!
I'm running FreeBSD-4.7-stable -- uname output: FreeBSD delta.local.net 4.7-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Feb 11 15:45:59 EST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/src/sys/compile/SERVER i386 I've added the requisite kernel option in my kernel config - standard usb options plus: # radio device ufm And a line in rc.conf to start usbd: usbd_enable="YES" # Run the usbd daemon. At boot time, the device is recognized -- dmesg output: ufm0: GemTek Corp USB FM Radio, rev 1.00/4.10, addr 2 Next, I found a patch for MAKEDEV, to create the proper device (cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV ufm0): crw-rw---- 1 root operator 200, 0 Feb 11 20:16 /dev/ufm0 Finally, I found and compiled three different utilities to control the radio. Unfortunately, all three fail: 1. 'ufmctl' by M. Warner Losh (2001) 2. a patched version of 'ufmctl' by David Yeske (2002) example: delta# ufmctl -d sets device, default is "/dev/ufm0". -f sets freq -h help -i info -m mutes the radio -s unmutes the radio delta# ufmctl -f 92.9 -s ufmctl: FM_START: Input/output error Tuner /dev/ufm0 at 92.90MHz status off 3. a slick 'ufmcontrol' package available from sourceforge.net example: delta# ufmcontrol USB Radio Control utility, version 0.1 Type `?' for command list ufmcontrol> verbose yes ufmcontrol> set 92.9 ufmcontrol> get FM 92.90 MHz ufmcontrol> play ufmcontrol: Input/output error ufmcontrol> Why am I getting these I/O errors? Any thoughts? Thanks, Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
