A head up about the wi driver in FreeBSD 5.0 and 5.1. I have a netgear MA-311 card that supports HostAP mode. The issue is that I get a busy bit error. The exact error starts with the following.. THIS ONLY OCCURS WHEN WEP IS ENABLED: wi0: timeout in wi_seek to fc00/0; last status 800b We then move on to : wi0: wi_cmd: busy bit won't clear. This seems to cycle until the next error: wi0: failed to allocate 1594 bytes on NIC wi0: tx buffer allocation failed wi0: mgmt. Buffer allocation failed Then back through the entire error sequence again. Eventually the box will freeze as these errors cycle and then free up again when it starts back at the timeout error. I was hopeful that the new wi driver in 5.1 would address this problem as I know several persons with Prism chipsets that have this very same issue on 5.0 and 5.1. Please respond directly as I am not on -current mailing list. Thanks RayReceived on Fri Jun 20 2003 - 19:31:25 UTC
