8-RC1: ral0: need multicast update callback

2009-09-25 Thread Steve Franks
On my vanilla RC1 install (from ISO), ral seems to be having issues.
About every 1/2 hour it will hang the network when downloading ports,
or doing a large rsync transfer.  If you ctrl-c on the transfer 
restart, it fires right up.

The only error:
ral0: need multicast update callback

Exact chipset:
ral0: Ralink Technology RT2561S mem 0xf020-0xf0207fff irq 20 at
device 0.0 on pci3
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527
ral0: [ITHREAD]

I noticed some people having this problem with ndis and iwi in 2008
(!) on the list, but no mention of ral...

Best,
Steve

I've been seeing pauses in network connectivity with my iwn
in BETA-2 through 4.  I hadn't noticed it much until I set
wpa_ptk_rekey= down to 600.  Then it seemed like it hit me
every five minutes.  I think it was originally 1800.  But the
/usr/share/examples/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, currently has it at 600 in
-RC1.  I could be remembering incorrectly.  It seems like it became much
less frequent when I changed wpa_ptk_rekey to 3600.

Maybe I just started noticing when I had to start doing a lot of ssh
sessions from the house.  My sessions would lock up and, usually,
continue in a few seconds to a few minutes.  If I hadn't been using a
session when the network paused, that session would usually be working
fine while I waited for my original session to continue.

I have not noticed it on my WEP AP, but I normally connect the ethernet
cable at that location.  I should test there. 

I have other issues with the iwn and haven't really dug into the problem
to try to figure out if it is wpa_supplicant or iwn or a combination.
iwn does not function after resume so I've actually run ethernet cables
to where I use the laptop now.

I have to unload the if_iwn module on suspend, and reload it on resume
(via /etc/rc.[suspend|resume], of course).

Have you tried that?
