Hi @ all, the iwk driver is still driving me crazy and I actually don't know why.
After having a fresh snv_101 installation for say 3 weeks everything is running fine. suddenly the network link disappears and /var/adm/messages shows the output below: Dec 27 22:13:17 julia mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: iwk0 link up Dec 27 22:13:17 julia /sbin/dhcpagent[384]: [ID 967406 daemon.warning] refreshing state on iwk0 Dec 27 22:13:21 julia /sbin/dhcpagent[384]: [ID 778557 daemon.warning] configure_v4_lease: no IP broadcast specified for iwk0, making best guess Dec 27 22:13:46 julia mac: [ID 486395 kern.info] NOTICE: iwk0 link down Dec 27 22:13:46 julia in.routed[477]: [ID 238047 daemon.warning] interface iwk0 to 172.22.42.4 turned off Dec 27 22:13:51 julia iwk: [ID 525033 kern.warning] WARNING: iwk_rx_sens(): can't make rx sensitivity calibration,because of invalid statistics Dec 27 22:13:55 julia iwk: [ID 925725 kern.warning] WARNING: fatal firmware error Dec 27 22:14:02 julia mac: [ID 744254 kern.info] NOTICE: iwk0 link up Dec 27 22:14:02 julia /sbin/dhcpagent[384]: [ID 967406 daemon.warning] refreshing state on iwk0 Dec 27 22:14:07 julia /sbin/dhcpagent[384]: [ID 778557 daemon.warning] configure_v4_lease: no IP broadcast specified for iwk0, making best guess It seems that the driver is messing up with the kernel area and has found his turn on / turn off lever. Could it be, that the latest iwk driver has an invisible hand implemented to finger trough the cpu fan out of the notebook chassis to reach the on/off switch for the wifi interface? why should I define a broadcast, if the dhcp server makes the broadcast calculation itself by the given subnet mask? By the way: can there anything foreseen, when the iwk driver is available for Solaris 10 generic 11/08?
