acx on soekris with openbsd 4.0 - Re-post

2007-03-19 Thread mail-lists

Sorry, I've asked this before and didn't get a response.. am I asking
this incorrectly - or in the wrong place?

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a mini pci card working on OpenBSD 4.0. I ripped this
card out of a dlink router that we weren't using. From what I understand
it's supposed to use the acx driver.

When I try to do an 'ifconfig acx0 up' it gives me 'Device no configured'

I'm assuming that this is because OpenBSD didn't detect the card. I
scoured the dmesg output but didn't find anything that looks like a
wireless card. I'm not overly familiar with the way openbsd handles
hardware so is there a way to 'force' openbsd to find the card?

I've already installed the firmware as specified in the man-page, but I
don't know where to go from here..

I have a feeling I'm SOL with this card


Thanks!

I've appended the dmesg output in case there's something I'm missing:

This is the right place, you just haven't done your research so no one
bothered to answer. You might want to look into

If $dmesg | grep acx gives you nothing then ifconfig acx0 won't work.

Where does your information that it's supposed to be acx(4) come from?


I'm not overly familiar with the way openbsd handles
hardware so is there a way to 'force' openbsd to find the card?


No. Everything your kernel can load is loaded. OpenBSD is not like linux :)



I've already installed the firmware as specified in the man-page, but I
don't know where to go from here..

If it's from a dlink, probably. Get a ral(4), they are from a nice
taiwanese company that is friendly to open source.
