Sorry but this seems to difficult for me... i tried building a kernel short times ago with no success...

...i have no experiance of building kernel :(

I could help you if you want. It's not hard.
Else i cannot do anything to fix the problem you encountered.

i see a "db>" at kernel-panic... i can type "show" and so on, with a lot of options...

it will be good if you can tell me the command-line which give the output you need for debugging. :)

Just type "bt" and then enter :)

Please send me the binary rt2860.ko so i could disassemble it.
I tested the driver in HOSTAP mode today and couldn't reproduce the problem.

ALex.
 
Ist an very Old System with AMD Duron...

I want to use this as WLAN-Hotspot..

I don't realy understand the problem, because it works with FreeBSD 7.2... :(

FreeBSD 8 and FreeBSD 7.2 have very different net80211 subsystems. net80211 subsystem on FreeBSD 8 supports vaps, FreeBSD 7 doesn't.
 
Is there any possibility to solve the problem in time?

I often work with php, python, vba and javascript... because i am good in finding solutions at programing... but i never tried to make a driver.. so i dont know what to do with it...

if you have an abstract problem, i can help you perhaps...

I know what the problem is but i have no clue why it happens. It shouldn't happen under normal conditions. And i'm using my driver on FreeBSD 8 constantly and have no problems at all. That is what makes me confused. Is pfSense very different from FreeBSD 8 ? I have no experience with it. Do you use the latest driver from repository ?

I use the latest driver from repository...

is it because freebsd8-stable? or are there any packages missing?
i install src-> base,sys manually to have the possibility compile the driver..
but for that i have to use the distribution freebsd8-release...

perhaps the problem occurs because of one of this things.....

I didn't update my kernel sources after installation.
Perhaps that is why it works on my system.
I will try to update my kernel sources and test.

I do this as a trick to have shell at pfsense

- i install pfsense 1.2.2 dev (freebsd7.0) with shell
- update the src (sys base) for freebss8.0-release
- upgrade to freebsd 2.0 (freebsd8.0-stable)

i do the same to get pfsense 1.2.3 (freebsd7.2) with shell
- in this case your driver works

Simple question :)
You are using the driver for freebsd 8 or for freebsd 7 ?
Because there are 2 different versions of the driver.
Only to make sure you are using the right driver :)

Ok, this would be to simple ;)
i know your git repository... i use the always the right driver :)

i only wanted to say, that install pfsense 1.2.2 dev (fbsd7), then sysinstall base and sys and then upgrade to pfsense 1.2.3 (fbsd7.2) works without problems with your driver for fbsd7.2...
 
but this is not the solution oy my problem, my card is correctly seated...

...only the problems at the begin of the thread are similar to mine... and there were some solution statements which can be helpful perhaps..

Hello Alex,

sorry for all the discussion before, now i got the installation more consistant by installing freebsd 8 with developers kernel at once.

Now i get the kernel panic by changing to hostap. I took pictures of the alerts.
