hi all,
after upgrading from
FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE #1: Sun Jun 4 15:46:56 CEST 2006
root at monster.brederode:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC
to
# uname -a
FreeBSD monster.brederode 6.2-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-PRERELEASE #2: Mon Oct 16 23:15:25 CEST 2006 root at monster.brederode:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
using the usual steps for "To rebuild everything and install it on the current system" described in /usr/src/UPDATING
i can't see my wireless ural device anymore in the dmesg, nor does it show up at ifconfig. since i'm using GENERIC, all needed devices for ural are available:
# egrep "ehci|uhci|ohci|usb|ural|wlan" /usr/src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC
device wlan # 802.11 support
device wlan_wep # 802.11 WEP support
device wlan_ccmp # 802.11 CCMP support
device wlan_tkip # 802.11 TKIP support
device uhci # UHCI PCI->USB interface
device ohci # OHCI PCI->USB interface
device ehci # EHCI PCI->USB interface (USB 2.0)
device usb # USB Bus (required)
device ural # Ralink Technology RT2500USB wireless NICs
The last track of the device i have is in my messages file, when i was using the device:
Jul 22 22:49:39 monster kernel: ural0: Ralink 802.11g WLAN, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 3
so this means the ural device was recognised in the 6.1-STABLE from june 4th. after this date i didn't use the device any more, so it was only until now after the upgrade, that i notice it isn't there anymore.
so i am wondering whether the 6.2-prerelease has something to do with it or did the hardware just died on me or did it get disabled in some way?
has anyone an idea what is going on?
tnx
filip
