Okay, we got ours this afternoon and starting hacking. I had rebuild on
Saturday morning with -current+AWI, and tried that kernel on the plane. I am
not sure, but my ap.o LKM sort of worked, with -current, but sort of didn't
(bad crashes). I have rebuilt against a new /usr/include, and I think it is
happy.
I then rebuilt my kernel with V6 when I realized that I hadn't done that.
We got some errors. I saw Bill stick his head in to the terminal room and
then leave again. Maybe for lunch. He mentioned that he didn't arrive until
noon, and that was 12:45, so I imagine he had to "unplane"
First, we couldn't get DHCP to work. We get:
printf("unk mgt subtype %x\n", subtype);
and dhcp never gets a response. We got a static IP and it worked okay for a
bit, and then we hit the panic at sys/dev/ic/awi.c line 1231. I'm
investigating.
BTW: is indent width of 8 characters specified somewhere?
