I'm running RELENG_8 (built yesterday) and have encountered problems with wpi and acpi_hp.
The thing about acpi_hp is that it misses most of the hardware when activated in the loader.conf. The WLAN, BT and other sysctls are only available if I load the module after boot. My wpi problems are more severe. I recently purchased a new battery for my notebook and to improve my battery uptime I deactivated the bluetooth device in the BIOS (HP6510b). Ever since the wlan connection is less reliable. The device tends to spontaneously turn itself off. I also occasionally see: wpi0: could not configure bluetooth coexistence The last time this happended (~2 hours ago) I went to the first console to witness the dmesg events. I pressed the WLAN switch, the dmesg showed a radion on message, then the system paniced. Unfortunately it didn't create a dump, probably because I've got 8gb RAM and only 4gb of swap space, though with the new minidumps that shouldn't really be a problem, I think. Anyway, I at least copied the screen output on a sheet of paper and will provide it tonight (I'm on a train at the moment, typing it now is too inconvenient). Regards -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
