Stores around here are once again is carrying the plain old
DWL-520's based on the Prism2.5 chipset, cheap too. So I picked one up
this evening, to replace my 520+ abomination, and tried using it on
-current.
Has anyone successfully used a late-model DWL-520 with -current? If so,
then there's a good chance I've got a bad card. If not, then I'll
continue troubleshooting my problem.... which, by the way, is :
wi0 at pci0 dev 11 function 0: Intersil Prism2.5 Wireless Lan
wi0: interrupting at irq 5
wi0: PCI reset timed out
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear
wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear
wi0: init failed
wi0: failed to attach controller
I've tried increasing the reset timeout from 2 seconds to 6, but that
didn't help anything. I even removed all the PCI cards except my IDE
controller and tried the 520 in all the other slots, to no avail. I
guess it's time to do some exhaustive kernel debugging :-( .
BTW, I say "late-model" only because for all I know the card was
recently manufactured and, if so, could differ slightly from the older
cards.
Thanks,
Mike.
