Re: iwi fatal error on Dell Inspiron 6000 (debug info attached)

for 2915ABG adapters, you need to run:

% ifconfig iwi0 mode 11g

before setting an IP address.

the firmware crashes when scanning in the 5GHz band (802.11a).
i'm working on a fix.

| Hi.
|
| I'm getting a new Dell Inspiron 6000 (BIOS version A05) up and
| configured and I've run into a problem under -CURRENT.  I'm running
| -CURRENT as of 13 May 05 with the iwi driver compiled in:
|
| FreeBSD lap.isi.edu 6.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 6.0-CURRENT #0: Thu May 12 08:59:58 
PDT 2005     [email protected]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/LAP  i386
|
| and the iwicontol tool from http://damien.bergamini.free.fr/ipw/ version
| iwi-freebsd-1.4.2.
|
| I type this:
|
| lap:~$ sudo sysctl net.wlan.debug=-1
| Password:
| net.wlan.debug: 0 -> -1
| lap:~$ sudo sysctl net.wlan.0.debug=-1
| net.wlan.0.debug: 0 -> -1
| lap:~$ sudo iwicontrol -i iwi0 -d /usr/local/libdata/if_iwi -m bss
| lap:~$ sudo iwicontrol -i iwi0 -r
| Radio is ON
| lap:~$ sudo ifconfig iwi0 inet 192.168.0.20 netmask 0xffffff00 ssid ISI-GUEST 
wepkey `cat /usr/local/etc/wepkey` weptxkey 1 wepmode on
|
| And get the following on the console (in the logs):
|
| ieee80211_crypto_setkey: WEP keyix 0 flags 0x3 mac 00:12:f0:49:06:96 rsc 0 tsc

| ieee80211_next_scan: chan 255->1
| iwi0: fatal error
|
| Needless to say the wireless doesn't connect.  Any ideas what's wrong?
| I'm happy to help debug...
|
| Attached are the dmesg from a boot -v and kernel config.
