[BAT] wi0: init failed -- bad or normal? (FW: Forcing IRQ assignments?)

Mon, 15 Apr 2002 19:41:26 -0700

I see similar behavior under FreeBSD, changes made to pccard.conf have
no effect.
Both D-Link and WaveLAN cards take IRQ 11. (Even if removed from
available IRQ list)
Any ideas?

Is it possible to force a pccard to a specific IRQ?

Under W2K or WXP my wireless cards take IRQ7, which works fine since lpt
port doesn't need an IRQ.

However under FreeBSD I am seeing "stray IRQ 7" errors, and the cards
are using IRQ11.

Could this be why I am having lock-up issues with wi, and getting wi0:
init
failed errors???

Thanks for the tips but I am a bit confused. The dmesg output shows IRQ
11
assigned to the D-Link card not IRQ 9. I tried creating /etc/pccard.conf
and
limit the available IRQs but it seems to have no effect. Upon rebooting
IRQ
11 is still used.

This laptop is a dual-boot machine with Win-2k on the other partition.
Win-2k reports the D-Link card at IRQ 10 and a bunch of devices using
IRQ 9
including the built-in sound (which does not work under FreeBSD), the
built-in modem, and the video adapter. I guess these are all PCI devices
so
they show up this way. Not sure why FreeBSD selects IRQ 11 for the
D-Link.

I am not a FreeBSD expert so I would appreciate any help you can provide
on
resolving an IRQ conflict (if in fact that is the problem here).

Thanks,
Jerry
