Hi Hans! The reason I am asking is because I am trying to port over athn and, after loading the firmware and getting interrupts working (Yay!) I ran into an issue where there is a sleep, triggered after a Tx interrupt, that is only woken up via wakeup(9) in an Rx callback. Yet I do not see where the Rx callback is ever done. As a result, the sleep call returns with a non-zero value. My current code has the msleep(9) call here: https://github.com/khanzf/freebsd/blob/ar9271/sys/dev/athn/usb/if_athn_usb.c#L1290 On the OpenBSD side, the Rx Interrupt pipe is opened with an interval value, which suggests to me that it's autorun every interval, but it's not clear to me. For context, my email thread on the OpenBSD side is here: (I hope this constitutes as on-topic, apologies!) https://marc.info/?t=165177136600001&r=1&w=2 Thanks - Farhan
