I'm having problems with getting the wired Atheros network card working on my new laptop (Dell N7010). The pciconf output says the device ID is 0x2060, which from the dev/alc/if_alcreg.h on the CVSweb browser indicates it is an AR8152.
I'm running 8.1-RELEASE but its version of alc doesn't support this card. So I grabbed the version of if_alc.c, if_alcreg.h, and if_alcvar.h from Aug. 20th 2010 which added support, but now after using dhclient or manually assigning an IP my computer completely locks up. A message about the interface going down, and then a second one about it coming back up are the last things I see. No error messages come up nor are written to /var/log/messages.
I also tried even more recent versions from the RELENG_8_2 branch and had to update some files in dev/mii and sys/net/if_media.h but... same results.
I have an Intel i5 processor and I'm using the amd64 architecture. GENERIC kernel or a modified one to remove unneeded stuff makes no difference.
Anyone think they can help me out with this?
Here is the pciconf output after updating alc:
with 8.1-RELEASE it's similar but with none3@ replacing alc0@ and the cap 05 line doesn't say "enabled with 1 message".
The ifconfig output (newer driver) is:
For reference, in Linux the driver atl1c in 64 bit mode is working for it just fine.
Thanks.
P.S.: I just booted the 8.2-RC2 amd64 CD and the same crash still occurs.
