Dear list.
I need some pointers how to track down this problem. Most likely I've
simply forgotten something fundamental. I've been running an usb based
Zyxel NWD2705 wifi dongle as an access point on my FreeBSD 10.3
installation for a long time. After installing a FreeBSD 11 and moving
the dongle there, dmesg doesn't show any indication of loading the
firmware. As instructed in "man 4 run" I've added the following two
lines to the kernel config on both machines and recompiled and installed:
device run
device runfw
FreeBSD 11 runs a GENERIC kernel with these two lines added and FreeBSD
10.3 runs the same but with all unused modules removed.
dmesg of FreeBSD 10.3 shows the following:
ugen7.2: <ZyXEL> at usbus7
run0: <ZyXEL NWD2705, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 2> on usbus7
run0: MAC/BBP RT3593 (rev 0x0402), RF RT3053 (MIMO 3T3R), address
28:28:5d:fc:79:81
run0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
run0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
run0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
wlan0: bpf attached
wlan0: bpf attached
wlan0: Ethernet address: 28:28:5d:fc:79:81
run0: firmware RT3071 ver. 0.33 loaded
run0: firmware RT3071 ver. 0.33 loaded
dmesg on FreeBSD 11 shows this:
ugen7.2: <ZyXEL> at usbus7
run0 on uhub0
run0: <ZyXEL NWD2705, class 0/0, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 2> on usbus7
run0: MAC/BBP RT3593 (rev 0x0402), RF RT3053 (MIMO 3T3R), address
28:28:5d:fc:79:81
run0: 11a rates: 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
run0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
run0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps
24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
No indication of firmware being loaded but also an extra line "run0: on
uhub0" if that matters. Neither does any run0 interface show up with
ifconfig. How can I trace what the firmware subsystem is doing and why
it doesn't push the firmware to this card?
Regards
Morgan
