Because peter eliminated it by making the relevant code mandatory about

Yes, I am handling that.  I've been testing a version of the
upgrade on 2 of my machines for several weeks, but haven't had
time to fix a few more things, which is the reason for the delay,
aside from the fact that I was previously waiting on the people
who actually wrote the patch to commit it.

However, since my midterms are over and spring break is upon me, I
will focus a large part of the next few days getting the upgrade
done and committed.  It should be done by Saturday, March 9 at the
earliest and Saturday, March 16 at the latest, and probably on
Sunday or Monday.

More like, the port builds in a chroot which contains the
environment of a 5.0 world.  So the chroot tarball for 5.0 being
used here must be the wrong one, or it's screwed up.

You are right.  I made a thinko, and later realized it while

We are screwed if anybody uses sysctl() or sysctlbyname(), unless

Speaking as a ports person, I don't like the idea of having to
backport these changes repeatedly over the course of a product's
lifetime, and a local hack for FreeBSD is gross.

usbd(8) doesn't attach aue(4) device properly?

2002-03-29 Thread Will Andrews

Hi,

I'm trying to hook my new D-Link DSB-650TX up to a laptop with
USB on a March ~26 -CURRENT.  However, it's failing miserably:

uhci0:  port 0xfce0-0xfcff irq 11 at device 
7.2 on pci0
usb0:  on uhci0
usb0: USB revision 1.0
uhub0: Intel UHCI root hub, class 9/0, rev 1.00/1.00, addr 1
uhub0: 2 ports with 2 removable, self powered
ugen0: D-Link Corp. DSB-650TX USB Ethernet, rev 1.10/1.01, addr 2

if_aue.ko is being loaded by the loader at boot time, so this
should be working.. but the device is attaching to ugen(4)
instead of aue(4).  Ideas?  The only thing I could think of was
/etc/usbd.conf was out of date, but a mergemaster didn't fix this
problem.

Good call.  Here's the info:

It *is* a null pointer deref.  Joe and I looked at this problem,
and it seems a function called device_get_ivars() isn't doing
its job in sys/dev/usb/usb_port.h.  So the variable is getting
filled with a NULL pointer for the iface element and is later
deref'd.  That's the limit of my debugging, and Joe is looking
into the problem actively.

Nick,

You really should talk to Joe Karthauser.  He's already confirmed
that it *is* an issue in the code (and not any kind of
misconfiguration on my part).  I've already spent enough time
debugging the problem.  I recently MFC'd the support for my
device to -stable so I could use the machine on the network
without it panicking on me.  However, when Joe fixes the problem
I will give it another shot [same machine has -CURRENT on another
partition that I use for occasional hacking].

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Similar behavior manifests itself on my -current laptop dated
before April 27.  I.O.W. it appears to freeze but will flush the
console if you break to the debugger then hit 'c'.

I believe this was caused by an earlier change to the timecounter
