Hmmm.. I pulled the files into a -current kernel the other day,
configured wpi, and started playing.. and I havn't seen any panics
with it yet.. (and have transferred probably 6GB over the wireless
connection, just in testing -- sustaining about 2MB/sec over scp).
I've only been using WEP though -- havn't tried the WPA bits yet...
The machine in question is a core-duo:
cpu0: Intel Pentium M (Yonah) (686-class), 1596.16 MHz, id 0x6e8
cpu1: Intel Pentium M (Yonah) (686-class), 1596.00 MHz, id 0x6e8
running (a somewhat modified) GENERIC.MP_ACPI. The wireless shows up
as:
wpi0 at pci3 dev 0 function 0: Intel PRO/Wireless LAN 3945ABG Mini-PCI Adapter (rev. 0x02)
wpi0: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 18 (irq 10)
wpi0: 802.11 address 00:13:02:ab:cd:ef
wpi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
wpi0: 11g rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps 6Mbps 9Mbps 12Mbps 18Mbps 24Mbps 36Mbps 48Mbps 54Mbps
(yes, the MAC address has been edited for posting :) )
Personally, I'd like to see the driver added in as-is, and we can
debug it further from there...
Later...
