Problem:
experiancing 'watchdog timeouts' with Cabletron PCMCIA 802.11 radio card
(wi0). Card doesn't work as expected. Is detected Ok - but as soon as you
'ifconfig' the card - a few seconds later the 'watchdog timeout' messages
are displayed.
Configuration:
FreeBSD 4.7 - RELEASE #0
normal desktop PC with COM2 (IRQ 3), parallel port (IRQ 7) disabled.
Nokia C910 PCMCIA / PCI cradle
Skynet (Cabletron) 802.11 radio card.
ISA VGA card
NE2000 Clone NIC works Ok.
Tried:
moving the radio card to different IRQ and different IO address. same
problem.
Using the PCMCIA cradle (pcic0) in Interrupt mode. no differance.
Played with the hw.pcic.intr_path parameter. no differance
Cabletron card works OK in win2k laptop.
Do I sound desperate? I'm getting that way..
All the documentation / examples I've seen tend to indicate this problem is
caused by interrupt sharing. I'm almost certain this is not the case - would
like to be corrected - and make this work!
See below for dmesg output.
Please reply directly - I'm no longer subscribed to this mailling list.
