Default Problem installing 2nd nekwork card

hello!

I'm trying to setup an old laptop as an general purpose home server (gateway, torrent seedbox, wireless access point and whatever else I can think of adding).

I have added a second network card to the PC Card slot of the laptop, and OpenBSD recognises it as "Realtech 8139" and assigns it device name "rl1".
But when I try to run dhclient on it it keeps timing out waiting for a reply, and the error message:
rl1: watchdog timeout
keeps popping up on the console.

Googling this suggests that it might be solved disableing ASPI. But neither disableing ASPI or APM in the kernel makes any difference.

The card works fine when I tried it on the same machine useing a Linux live-CD I had lying around. And there doesn't seem to be any problem with the driver in OBSD since the same one is used for the built in ethernet card that works fine.

First time useing any flavor *BSD so I'm not sure what to try next.

Take a look at the output of:

# ifconfig

This will show both your rl0 and rl1 NICs, and you may then compare the physical layer status of each. DHCP will fail if there is no Ethernet connectivity. See http://www.daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=6184 for a recent thread on this subject.

Ocicat was faster than I was, but he's right, a dmesg will also be helpful. Watchdog timeouts occur when drivers fail to get responses from hardware when expected.

The line that lists the rl1 card doesn't look good (reset never completed!), but I have no idea what it means...

There is no problem with the physical connectivity like in the thread linked (since the exact same hardware layout worked fine with the Linux live-CD), but I do get the exact same error messages listed in the first post of that thread.

Just out of morbid curiosity, would you be willing to try compiling a custom kernel?

Assuming you have the kernel source extracted, edit /usr/src/sys/dev/cardbus/if_rl_cardbus.c and comment out #define RL_USEIOSPACE.

Cardbus is a lot like PCI and supports MMIO and x86 port mapped I/O, sometimes its worth seeing if a card works using the other registers.

Alternatively if this doesn't help, try disabling ioapic in UKC or with config(8) and see if that helps.

It wouldn't hurt to send an email to bugs@openbsd.org.

Roll my own 'eh? I could try, yeah. But it's going to have to wait at least until tomorrow...

From searching through the official misc@ mailing list archives, it appears this is due to a slightly non-standard cardbus infrastructure:

http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&w=2...mpleted+rl&q=b

Depending upon how much you want to resolve the problem:
  • Install a snapshot of -current. Be aware that -current is the development head where the developers check in fresh code. Especially as a newcomer to OpenBSD, studying Section 5.1 of the official FAQ will help set expectations.
  • If you later choose to submit a problem report, be aware that the developers will be most interested in knowing what is the behavior on -current, so the first step should be considered necessary. Further information on the submission process can be found at the following:

    http://www.openbsd.org/report.html

    If you do submit a problem report, be as complete & accurate as possible. There are perhaps two weeks left before the OpenBSD 5.0 code base is frozen, so getting a fix into CVS are low. Yet the chance of getting it fixed is zero if you do not fill out a problem report soon. Most likely, if a report is submitted, it might be addressed before OpenBSD 5.1.

There is a difference between rl0 and rl1 in the output from ifconfig. The second NIC does not report a physical layer status.

Academic in this case.

I finally got around to trying this out, and it seems to have done the trick.
You sir rock!

Thank you all for your help.
