iwi bricks my T43 on boot
I have IBM T43 notebook with this wireless internal card: iwi0: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG mem 0xa8401000-0xa8401fff irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci4 The problem is FreeBSD bricks my notebook on boot sometime. After I've turned rc.d debugging on I see it hangs after ifconfig_up: iwi0 operation. It happens quite rarely when I use a power supply and very often when my notebook boots on battery. The problem has appeared when a new driver for ipw/iwi was introduced. A fresh CURRENT here. When the problem was firstly arised it was 6.0. Because my notebook bricked I can't get a core dump or a debugger. Any hints please how can I get more info on this? -- Dixi.

This rather sound like a hardware problem - a power consumption spike the battery can't provide anymore or something, but let's see ... The problem has appeared when a new driver for ipw/iwi was introduced. A fresh CURRENT here. When the problem was firstly arised it was 6.0. The new driver has never been in 6.0. Because my notebook bricked I can't get a core dump or a debugger. Any hints please how can I get more info on this? Can you make sure you have a complete debugging kernel with WITNESS enabled? Setting debug.iwi could also reveal what's going on. Unfortunately it's only a sysctl, not a tuneable, so you'd have to change the default in sys/dev/iwi/if_iwi.c line 88 by hand and recompile your kernel/module. By the way, are you using iwi built in or as a module? Do you load it via loader.conf or on demand from rc.d/*? -- /\ Best regards, | [EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / Max Laier | ICQ #67774661 X http://pf4freebsd.love2party.net/ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | Against HTML Mail and News pgp2XQH7Xf40Z.pgp Description: PGP signature

Well, I'm not quite sure here. May be it was CURRENT that time. Because my notebook bricked I can't get a core dump or a debugger. Any hints please how can I get more info on this?

I have iwi-firmware-kmod-3.0_1 port installed. -- Dixi.
