Hi,
I think the new "if_ural" has this problem fixed, and a couple of others. Could you have tried the following:
I recommend that you fetch all files from SVN. The SVN port is available from /usr/ports/devel/subversion . After Subversion is installed you run:
svn --username anonsvn --password anonsvn checkout svn://svn.turbocat.net/i4b
cd i4b/trunk/i4b/FreeBSD.usb
make S=../src package make install
Follow the "make help" instructions.
It might be a good idea to build all kernel modules.
Before you build the kernel copy the following files into "/usr/src/sys/dev/usb/":
i4b/trunk/i4b/src/sys/dev/usb/if_ural.c i4b/trunk/i4b/src/sys/dev/usb/if_uralreg.h i4b/trunk/i4b/src/sys/dev/usb/if_uralvar.h
NOTE: the kernel build will most likely fail, unless you are using FreeBSD-7-current. If it fails because there are missing product ID defines, then just remove these lines from the "ural_devs" structure in "if_ural.c". If it fails because "IEEE80211_FEXT_SWBMISS" is not defined, then change the failing code to something like this:
#ifdef IEEE80211_FEXT_SWBMISS /* enable SW bmiss handling in sta mode */ ic->ic_flags_ext |= IEEE80211_FEXT_SWBMISS; #endif
Else please report the error, if you cannot resolve it.
Well .. i had already updated my source-tree to RELENG_6 so i decided to follow the instructions provided and built/installed world and kernel entirely and am now on 6.1-STABLE.
The kernel did build without problems ... however upon booting the new kernel i now get boatloads of acpi failure messages
acpi: bad write to port 0xcf8 (32), val 0x80002084 acpi: bad read from port 0xcfc (32)
The system does come up fully multi-user and appears to work normally though. I'll keep an eye out to see if the kernel panics are now resolved.
