This might be an MSI issue, though there don't seem to be actual watchdog timeouts that are usually displayed in this case. Since there is currently no safemode option to turn MSIs off, could you try with a revision before hrev36225 and after that and check if that makes the difference.

comment:3 by mbrumbelow, 15 years ago

Yes, it's an MSI issue. Tested hrev36224 worked fine. hrev36225 and later releases are broken.

I'm having the exact same issue (it used to work for me on hrev36263). Same errors in syslog for me.

Blocking: 5891 added

(In #5891) Yes, most likely an MSI issue. Closing this as a duplicate of #5752.

Blocking: 5893 added

(In #5893) Yes, it's a duplicate.

I'll look into blacklisting MSIs for the broadcoms then. I have a broadcom PCI card in use at home as well, though I haven't updated that machine yet. If I can reproduce it I might find out what the real issue is.

did hey68you made a mistake when he referred to the used-to-work revision?

If it indeed stop working at hrev36225 how could it be working for him at hrev36263?

Are more syslogs needed? The OP's initial message was vague. I can define two clear sets of not working for me.

1 - Card shows up but doesn't get an ip address or work with a static one defined. 2 - Card doesn't even show up.

This is kinda a showstopper for me, since I can't really use my wlan.

comment:9 by hey68you, 15 years ago

Yes sorry xeon3d I made a mistake - the last version working for me was hrev35425 and I wasn't updating regularly. I then tried hrev36263 and that's where I saw this problem.

I'm also hoping for a quick fix!

comment:10 by mmlr, 15 years ago

Added a workaround in hrev36746. Needs proper fixing by moving the MSI enable somewhere else.

comment:11 by mmlr, 15 years ago

Interestingly FreeBSD does also disable in pci_setup_intr, which actually happens after the re-enabling of pinned interrupt generation by the driver, so I don't really get why it would work under FreeBSD at all.

comment:12 by mbrumbelow, 15 years ago

hrev36746 still is broken on my compaq laptop. No networking access, will revert back to working revision.

comment:13 by hey68you, 14 years ago

Working great for me on r1Alpha2 hrev36769 - thanks mmlr

Version: R1/Development → R1/alpha2

I don't think this should be reopened as long as the underlying issue with MSI's is still there. If I recall correctly, there was a workaround added, and that's what fixed this.

I left as closed, so that someone higher in the hierarchy or the rest of the affected users could discuss and properly change the status.
