After a massive print debugging, I found where the problem appears. In /sys/src/9/bitsy/wavelan.c, in the function w_cmd():
if(i==WTmOut){ /* * WCmdIni can take a really long time. */ enum { IniTmOut = 2000 }; for(i=0; i<IniTmOut; i++){ if(csr_ins(ctlr, WR_EvSts)&WCmdEv) break; microdelay(100); } if(i < IniTmOut) if(0) print("#l%d: long cmd %.4ux %d\n", ctlr->ctlrno, cmd, i); if(i == IniTmOut){ print("#l%d: execing cmd %.4ux: %.4ux\n", ctlr->ctlrno, cmd, csr_ins(ctlr, WR_EvSts)); return -1; } } w_cmd() is returning -1. The preceding print displays (with some junk in): #l0: execing cmd 0000: 0000 Can this be a hardware problem? Thank you. -- David du Colombier
