I did a quick glance over the driver, try this:

I did not even compiled the patched driver.

Kostik,

Thanks for taking a look at this! I sent the following to Alexey recently in regards to his query about whether or not the new version of the driver works. Maybe it will assist you:

Good news, it was a simple version bump to upgrade to 195.36.24. Bad news, no improvement. Under very light load (X11 using openbox, Alpine mail client) it lasted about an hour. As soon as I started adding more stress (firefox, flash, etc.) it wedged after about 30 minutes (total uptime, 90 minutes). This was still on the old kernel that I've been using in combination with 195.22:

FreeBSD dougb.net 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3 r207134: Thu Apr 29 23:14:20 PDT 2010 i386

The combination of the r207134 kernel and the 195.22 version of the driver has been very stable for me. If I try to go newer than that in either category I get lockups and/or panics.


hth,

Doug
