Re: Inspiron 9400 freezes when enabling bfe0

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

:Hi,
:
:I finally found a workaround for getting the bfe interface up and
:running: I built the kernel with the "original" (unpatched) if_bfe.c
:and added
:
:hw.physmem="1G"
:
:to /boot/loader.conf. This way the bfe interface works just fine!
:
:I know this isn't a fix, but I take this as a starting point for
:further debugging the bfe driver.
:
:Enjoy the show
:
:--j

    This implies that the BFE driver may have limited DMA range, which
    we can program for in the busdma setup for bfe.
