Hi,
In a net5501 I have a rt2860 ral card, running the Feb 04 snapshot:
ral0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Ralink RT2860" rev 0x00: irq 10
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x0101), RF RT2820 (MIMO 2T3R)
Do you also have the mini pci card? Here is mine, which I got myself 2
or 3 days ago:
ral0 at pci0 dev 17 function 0 "Ralink RT2860" rev 0x00: irq 15, address
00:08:54:86:5e:6e
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2860 (rev 0x0101), RF RT2820 (MIMO 2T3R)
Also in a net5501.
I've been trying snapshots off and on since damien@ started tinkering
with the rt2860 code two months ago. With any snapshot from the last 2
months, I can't get the box to stay up for more than 2 hours (or less)
without it rebooting. If I turn off the watchdog timer, it will just
hang without printing any messages. If I "ifconfig ral0 down", the box
is rock stable.
Is anyone else seeing this with -current or a snapshot, with this ral
or a different one? I'd file a problem report but there's nothing to
go on, other than my suspicions that the changes to rt2860 in the last
2 months are the cause.
I can try to narrow it down to a specific commit if that will help?
Totally can't confirm the 2 hour time frame with the need for reboot. I
have connection loss every now and then, but I'm just on my way getting
some external antennas for the box, hope that will help. During initial
setup, but that will be more a problem on configuration side (pf or
somewhat) I had a system crash which made the box come with a date 20h
in future, which I haven't seen before.
Can you assure your powersupply is ok/not running at it's limit? There
have been issues with those originally shipped with the 5501.
If I switch to a 4.4 kernel, the hangs stop but the widely reported
ral traffic freezes are still there (PR 5958), which was what I was
hoping to fix.
