Network driver attach routine not called

I'm writing a STREAMS device driver for a PCI network card.
When I add the driver using add_drv (as described in the
ae sample from sun), my driver's info, init, and then _fini
routines are called.
Can someone offer any suggestions on how to figure out why
it is failing to attach my driver?
Thank you,
Pete

Hi Pete,
I encountered the same problem, and, unfortunatelly, didn't find something stupid.
Maybe you could help me with your solution?
Thanks,Ran!

Can't see network drive attached to AirPort

Hi All
I'm a newbie Mac user (just got my MacBook Pro last Thursday, in fact-- OS X 10.5.7). While I've got most of my issues doped out, I'm running into a problem connecting to a network drive that's plugged directly into my AirPort Extreme. I have three Windows systems (running XP and Vista) that can attach to the drive with no problem, but I can't figure out how to mount the drive under OS X.
If I use the Finder and select the router under "Shared", the Finder just spins with the message "Connecting..." for ages until it times out.
If I try to attach to a server, that doesn't work-- I've tried all the protocols in various flavors. Everything times out. I do get the message that the server or password is incorrect, but I never see a prompt for a password, so I am not sure what's going on there.
In short, I'm stumped. When I open up the AirPort utility, and view the disk, the drive is attached-- it has a name, and it gives the correct statistics on used/free space. When I go to File Sharing, the checkbox for Enable File Sharing is clicked.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Well, I'm stumped. I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support-- they ran through the scenarios I had already been through, and they came up with nothing useful. I ended up taking a second 160gb HD that was formatted NTFS, and formatted if for HFS+. This drive was visible through Finder. I took the same drive, formatted it for FAT32 and, surprise, surprise, NOTHING VISIBLE.
The "just works" philosophy is OK, but it's bunk when it comes to network drive support. I'm doubting the wisdom of this purchase now.
$2500 for a computer that can't connect to a network drive that can be seen by an $500 Dell laptop?
The issue simply seems to be this: put a FAT32 drive on another box, and it can be shared by Macs and Windows boxes.
Put that same FAT32 box on an AirPort Express, and my Mac is BLIND. It can't see the drive.

Add_drv fails to attach: probe not called after init

i am trying to add_drv a simple pseudo-device driver. i have basically
copied the pio sample driver code available elsewhere on this website.
i've compiled using forte c5.0, and am trying to load on an ultra 5 running solaris 8.
i have tried loading both 32 bit and 64 bit versions.
as this is a pseudo driver (there is no real device yet... i just want to test the load/unload stuff), i have an xxprobe routine which always returns DDI_PROBE_SUCCESS.
let's say the driver executable is named relidrv, which i copied to /usr/kernel/drv or drv/sparcv9 (depending on 32 vs 64 bit'ness of the build)
i have a simple relidrv.conf which simply contains name="relidrv", parent="pseudo" and instance=0.
then, as root:
add_drv -v relidrv
gives me:
exit status = 0
devfsadm: driver failed to attach: relidrv
exit status = 11
Warning: Driver (relidrv) successfully added to system but failed to attach
i put some cmn_err(CE_WARN,...) calls in init(), probe(), and attach(). the init() call returns 0, all well and good. however, according to my cmn_err output, probe is never called, neither is attach.
suggestions?

in a previous thread by murraystokely, the answer appears. a very big thanks to both mause and murray...
the problem was that the driver itself lived in /usr/kernel/drv/sparcv9, but the conf file should have gone into /usr/kernel/drv.
hint for whoever writes the next revision to the Writing Device Drivers manual... mention this!

Powerpoint 2013 throwing 'File in Use' errors when saving to a network drive, file is NOT in use

One of our sites is having a strange issue when saving to a network location in Powerpoint. I'm not sure it's a Powerpoint problem, but it's a place to start...
When saving a ppt to a mapped network drive (the client is running Windows 8 / Office 2013, the network drive is a DFS share, pointed to a Server 2012 machine if that matters), users will almost always get the following error:
"Someone else is working in (filepath\name) right now. Please try again later."
This happens regardless of where the file is being saved on the network drive, in fact it happens even when there is no pre-existing file with that name in the location. So, even if I'm saving a brand new copy of test.pptx to F:\Share\PPT where there
is not currently a test.pptx, I get the error.
Word, Excel, and all other tested apps save properly. Powerpoint can save correctly to the local computer, but not to the network drive or to My Documents (which redirects to the same network drive).
When the error pops up, if I look in Open Files in Computer Management on the Fileserver, I see the file I'm trying to save listed as being open, but it shows 'Disconnected' rather than a username.
Any suggestions would be appreciated - again, not sure that this is a Powerpoint problem - could be Windows 8 or some mysterious DFS thing...
Thanks.

Hello,
Been having a very similar issue in our environment and just came across this thread while Googling and looking for answers.
In our case, we have Windows 7 clients and 3 main files servers - 2 are Server 2008 R2, and one is Server 2012. We use PeerLink File Collaboration to sync the files between
the servers (similar concept to DFS).  For us, it seems to happen specifically with Excel 2013, and only when saving to the Server 2012 file server. I can reproduce the message pretty much every time. After seeing your post,
I tried it in Powerpoint just out of curiosity, but it saved properly - Word saves properly as well.
Been doing a bunch of testing to try and narrow it down, and this is what I've found:
Excel 2013 -> Server 2012 = error message.
Excel 2013 -> Server 2008 R2 = no error message.
Excel 2010 -> Server 2008 AND Server 2012 = no error message.
<o:p>We've been leaning towards the PeerLink replication as the culprit up to this point, but last night I did some testing with the PeerLink Collaboration turned off, and
still received the error message.. so now I'm even more confused!
I see that it's been a few months since your post.. have you made any progress here?</o:p>

Windows Network Drive Mapping properties not being associated with Test Stand deployment

I recently upgraded a TestStand/LabVIEW (Developer Suite 2012 DS1) deployment project from a Windows XP Pro OS to Windows 7 Enterprise. Now, when I run the Test Stand deployment, Network paths that used to be hard coded into my File Globals are no longer recognized. I re-wrote the vi's, and put "File Dialog" pop-ups so that I could see what path the control is being opened up at, and what appears to be happening is the Network Drive that I am defaulted to is appearing as if it is "disconnected" in the navigation window, and the path is defaulted to my root directory. I can navigate out to my network path no problem from the navigation window, and after the first time I perform this user action, subsequent executions open up to the path I have hard coded in my Sequence File Globals. However, if I reboot my host computer, I again have to go through the exercise of manually pointing to the proper network location? If I use the Windows Explorer to check Mapped Networked Drives, everything is properly mapped and connected.
Has anyone ever seen this behavior?

Hi ATE Dude 22,
I have not come across this problem before but here is a document from MSDN and one from NI which discuss file path conventions. From what I've seen, UNC is also accepted under Windows XP so I would advise using it for your file globals.

10.7.5 will only see network drives which do not exist

Have two external drives plugged into a Time Capsule. Would previously be able to access either or both.
Now, after logging in only one of the network drives shows up - the one that is turned off and unplugged (appears in finder, but can not access once clicked).
The drive that is plugged in and turned on will not show up in finder windows.
Restarting computer and force restarting finder have no effect.
What would cause this?

I still can't figure this USB problem out.
Please help!

Network drives volumes will not mount

Hi can anyone help me. At my wits end here. Have upgraded 2 machines in our office. 1 Intel Pro mac and 1 Intel iMac, upto 10.6.6
Problem is now when i log onto the ehternet network server drives or random LOCAL USB drives (basically anything external) the connecting machines restart the desktop environment and refuse to mount the drive or folder in question, sometimes it can be infinite loop style reload of the desktop until it finds what its looking for or not. Not all the time just occasionally. Have re installed the combo update but still not fixed it. Could it be a faulty Snow Leopard disc?
Should have mentioned that the server machine is running 10.4 and was running perfectly with the machines on 10.5, so presuming its not that rather the snow leopard upgrade..

I am having the same issue at our school district. If i wipe out the account and network folder, then recreate it individually it works on both Mac and Windows. So definitely on the server end.

Network driver attachment booting cdrom single user mode

I am attempting to boot from cdrom in single user mode and reach some network shares. However, when I boot cdrom, the server does not attach the network drivers, meaning I cannot plumb up any of my interfaces.
Now, I should add that we have an XVR-300 card in an XAUI PCI-E slot. I read somewhere that this can disable one of your network ports, but shouldn't it still see the other ports and attach the network drivers?
Any body have any ideas or anything I could try?
Thanks!

Dell Inspiron 15 3000 Series, Problem installing Network driver, Wireless Key not working

Hi,
This is a brand new Dell, which has Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit installed, and I re-installed all drivers, and did BIOS update as well, but when downloading Network drivers with correct Service Tag and product, I get to the installation screen where it asks to Activate Wireless Key. The Fn + PrtScr does not work, even if I go to PC Settings, Bluetooth, I can switch it on with mouse, but when using the Fn + PrtScr it does not switch between On & Off within PC Settings. So I cannot install the Wireless drivers at all, I have to Cancel Installation.
Any suggestions?

The Service Tag may be listing the wrong wireless card variant. Please provide the hardware IDs so we can confirm:

Networked Drive Mounting (or not..)

Ever since installing Leopard, I am no longer able to access any external drives connected to my PowerMac G5 from my MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro is running 10.5.1, while the G5 is running the latest version of Tiger. Pre-Leopard I could choose the external drives to mount to my MacBook Pro, but now I can only mount users and internal drives. Any ideas on what is causing this?(side note: there are 2 drives, on Mac OSX Extended and the other FAT-32, neither will show up.)
Thanks much.

Sorry missed that critical point!
I've just checked our 2 G4's and I've added an external drive to each of them and can see the external volume in Leopard's finder.
The only attributes that I can think of that might affect your access are the type of user login used (I used an Administrator account) and the "Ignore Ownership" attribute for the external volumes (found in Get Info for a volume). ie. it's checked on ours.

Finder windows close randomly on network drive

Hi, searched on google for long time and found nothing. I'm working in a small office (13 iMacs and Mac Pros) and the Finder have a strange behavior.
In my office, 12 iMacs and Mac Pro are using OS 10.6.8 to 10.8.3, and there is a server that contain a backup of every project and every user must save his project at the end of the day on the server. The server is a Mac Pro first generation with 8GB RAM running 10.7.5 server, and a 2TB HD that is shared with everyone.
When a user want to access a folder on the server drive, the windows of the folder randomly close.
For example : User A want to save his project in folder "Macintosh HD:Client X:Project Y" So User A open the remote "Macintosh HD", than "Client X" folder and "Project Y" folder, but "Project Y" close by itself. User A must reopen it from "Client X" folder. I have a lot of complain since it's irritating and a waste of time when you want to drag your document and the target folder close by itself. It's not a lost connection since the remote drive stay mounted. The problem was there when the server was running 10.6.8 and I tough that the upgrade to 10.7.5 server will solve that, but no luck. Since it's a 1st gen Mac Pro, we can't try 10.8
The problem affect client on every version os Mac OS, from 10.6.8 to 10.8.3
Any idea ?

What is your network drive attached to? Is it a NAS or a shared drive from another computer. Either way get it connected locally to a computer and you should be able to find a file undelete tool (there are even free ones) that can restore the files that you have deleted.
I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this thread for background. The thread may shed some light on exactly what you did wrong. ITunes shows all the copies of the files that are the same as each other. If you delete them all you end up with none.

Can two computers use same iTunes library on a network drive?

Can two computers use directly (rather than share) the same iTunes library on a network drive?
My media library is on a network drive attached to my Airport Extreme. Right now I share the library with my desktop Mac. I can share fine, but I would like to be able to add, delete, and make other changes in the media library from both computers. The two computers would not be accessing the library at the same time as I am the sole user of both.

I appreciate your input and I think you're right about this being impossible. But just to clarify, you say I can't "have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location." I can have multiple machines accessing the same music files from a shared location--I just can't have them accessing the same music files simultaneously--which may have been what you meant. For my situation, I think it will be less work to just quit iTunes on my server when I want to run it on my client (using Chicken of the VNC). It's not ideal, but it's less time-consuming than periodically syncing three computers.
Again, thanks for the input.

Problem mounting network drive after upgrading router firmware

Hi guys,
It's been a while since I last posted a question of my own here, but I'm at my wits end. As I may have mentioned, I live in France, and my ISP is Free (no, not free, Free...). I've got what they call a "box" here, i.e. a sort of super-modem that will let you connect to the Internet via xDSL (and soon VDSL2), receive hundreds of TV channels, read BluRay discs, store files (videos, music, photos, what have you) on a integrated NAS, place and receive phone calls, whether via a landline (DECT) or, since recently, through a femtocell.
All in all, the package is impressive and works flawlessly. But...
(Of course, there had to be a "but)
... Yesterday, I let my "box" (it's called a Freebox Revolution, or Freebox V6--for Version 6--by the way) upgrade its firmware, reboot as it always does in such circumstances, and since that, the NAS won't mount in the Finder the way it used to under the Shared left pane.
Now, every time I reboot my Mac, I have to open a browser windows and type "smb://mafreebox.freebox.fr" in order mount the NAS in the Finder. I've saved the credentials (login, no password) in the keychain, hoping it would help, but it doesn't. I've got a PC running Windows 8.1 Preview at the moment, and created a shortcut to the NAS on the Desktop. Guess what? I double-click on the shortcut, and sure enough, I can access the content of the NAS from Windows, but not from the Mac.
I must add that I haven't changed anything on the Mac since, or before, upgrading the "box" firmware.
Any ideas?

OK, you must think I'm going bananas, but my issue is gone... For now...
Seriously, what do you guys think about this problem with network drives mounting or not, depending on, I don't know, the weather, maybe?

AEBS and Network drive

I am keen to upgrade to the new draft n basestation as I think the ability to have a hard drive connected to it is the coolest feature of all. However I believe I am limited to a drive that connects via USB2.0 as that is all that the new draft n basestation supports. Is this not significantly slower than a FW800 connection would have been? I am interested in the G-Drive 500GB drive but need to make sure I buy the right one.
PowerBook G4 15FW800 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1GB RAM

Thank you.
I am disappointed that Apple has not taken advantage of the full speed of the "n" and am excited about this feature for having a networked drive attached in my wireless environment. My primary use for this at this point is as a back up drive so while it would be nice if this operated as fast as possible it isn't all that important - just irritating. I would like to be able to use the drive as well or perhaps through a hub have another drive on which to keep music files for streaming into iTunes. My PBG4 only has an 80GB hard drive which is perilously full (only 9GB available) and if I could shift the 16GB of music onto such a networked drive I feel I would get better performance out of the PBG4 when editing video or just using it for general email/internet access.
I do sort of wonder if at some point Apple will release a version of the AEBSn with more options for connectivity which is one thing that makes me somewhat hesitant to rush out and buy one right now, particularly as my PBG4 is not "n" compatible at this point, but given my space issues I am eager to use the network feature. I am surprized that Apple didn't tout this as the best feature of the new basestation.

Network Drive + Time Machine

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I can use a network drive as the backup drive for Time Machine. It is not showing up in the drive list and I was wondering if it is even possible.
Thanks a lot,
-Spencer

You can use a network drive attached to another Leopard machine, though setting it up seemed a little random for me. I have an iMac and a MacBook, both running Leopard, and am now backing up the MacBook wirelessly to an external drive attached to the iMac, using Time Machine. Setting it up seemed a little random. I first did a backup to the external drive directly from the MacBook, then attached the external drive to the iMac. When I first brought up Time Machine preferences on the MacBook after that, it said it couldn't find the drive. If I picked the option to select a new drive it gave me nothing to choose from. Then I went and browsed the external disk in Finder, and suddenly noticed that the MacBook had now found the disk and was doing a backup (without me having selected anything new). There may be an easier way of setting it up, but the MacBook has been doing hourly backups across the network (which have generally been taking about ten minutes).
