System: NetBSD duffy 1.5_BETA NetBSD 1.5_BETA (DUFFY2) #8: Thu Nov 2 14:24:47 MET 2000 src@duffy:/home/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/DUFFY2 i386


>Description:
On a Compaq Armada M700 the system fails to configure a Xircom Realport
card using DHCP, it works fine configured statically using ifconfig.

The same system with a Lucent WaveLAN card in 'PCMCIA at Cardbus'
configuration does not show these problems.

Symptoms:
No address gets configured, dhclient times out a tcpdump does not
see any traffic. A console message says

  tlp0: filter setup and transmit timeout

ever few seconds.

Here are the relevant lines from the configuration

  options PCIBIOS
  options PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP
  options PCIBIOS_BUS_FIXUP
  options PCIBIOS_ADDR_FIXUP
  options RBUS_MIN_START="0x30000000"

  cbb*      at pci? dev ? function ?
  cardslot* at cbb?
  cardbus*  at cardslot?
  pcmcia*   at cardslot?

  com*      at cardbus? function ?
  tlp*      at cardbus? dev ? function ?


>How-To-Repeat:
Start dhclient
>Fix:
Shut/Unshut the interface with

  ifconfig tlp0 down
  ifconfig tlp0 up

makes the interface working again. I have added these commands to
/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks which is then sufficient for dhclient
to aquire an IP-Address from the DHCP server. Still you have to
kick the interface one more time this way.

When the interface comes alive again the console reports:

  tlp0: interrupting at 11

 I had the chance to test this under 2.0. The problem is still
 the same.

 I don't think so, but I don't have access to that hardware.

 I did this some months ago.

 Xircom Realport Cardbus Ethernet 10/100 + Modem 56

   tlp0 at cardbus0 function 0: Xircom 3201-3 Ethernet, pass 0.3

 could be configured by dhclient from NetBSD 4.0.


 As soon as dhclient used the interface the kernel message

   tlp0: interrupting at 255

 could be seen. When the com part of the card got configured I saw

   com3: interrupting at irq 255

 so it seems as if "irq" is missing somewhere in the code handling the tlp0.

 On this machine the irq 11 mentioned in this PR was assigned to
 ccb0 and cbb1.
