Could not power ON adapter: wimax/wifi 5150

[Bambr]

Hello. Device is detected correctly in syslog, but iprowifi4965 says like:

(iwn) iwn_read_eeprom: could not power ON adapter, error -2147483639
(iwn) could not read EEPROM, error -2147483639

So, there is no such device in /dev/net/ and wifi is missing.

I remember that when there was linux on this laptop, I used rfkill command to turn on/off this wifi device. May be there is any similar tool under haiku?

Thanks.

Can you post your whole syslog, or at least the PCI: lines for the network device and any lines with "iwn" or "iprowifi" in them?

[Bambr]

Done.

This actually looks very similar to #14265, but that's for a much older generation of Intel hardware. Maybe they have a common cause somehow?

[Bambr]

No idea :( Please tell me if I can check something else. Probably I will be AFK till Sunday, but then I will try to give you all the information you need.

Can you test on a FreeBSD desktop? Not sure what the best distribution to use at this point is...

[Bambr]

Hello, I'm back again. Checked with FreeBSD 12, it works.

Hi. Can this issue be fixed or it is too strange/uncommon to be fixed? Just tell me if you need any assistance from me, I will try. Anyway, thank you for your work!

I have no great ideas about what causes this. I can ask the FreeBSD developers but I think I asked before for the older ticket and did not get much enlightenment. So as I don't have any way to investigate this easily, unless you want to try and fix it yourself, it may stay in limbo for some time...

Is this in UEFI mode or BIOS?

[Bambr]

BIOS. Laptop is too old to have UEFI

Could you attach the pci part of the syslog with the wireless device?

[Bambr]

Full syslog from the latest nightly build is attached. Thank you!

Please retest after hrev55890; it may help with this.
