kern.osreldate: 700035
Even better:
jarjarbinks:/usr/src:111# cat sys/CVS/Tag
D2007.03.31.04.00.00
Do you think it would be worth upgrading ? I saw no relevant commit
since yesterday.
I've attached my kernel configuration file. It starts from GENERIC
and first removes all options/devices I don't need; at the bottom,
I add a couple of options and devices I need.
/boot/loader.conf:
% hw.pci.allow_unsupported_io_range=1
%
% hint.acpi.0.disabled="1"
% debug.cpufreq.lowest=0
% acpi_dsdt_load="YES"
% acpi_dsdt_name="/boot/DSDT.aml"
%
% beastie_disable="YES"
% verbose_loading="YES"
%
% if_bge_load="YES"
% legal.intel_iwi.license_ack=1
Following Florent's advice I began to play with the LKM. I needed to
stop devd(8) to workaround the "autoreload" bug. I can then load
if_iwi.ko and iwi_bss.ko in _any order_ without any groan from the
kernel.
However as soon as I start devd(8) or wpa_supplicant(8), the same message
appears:
% iwi0: timeout waiting for iwi_bss firmware initialization to complete
% iwi0: could not load boot firmware iwi_bss
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,
