i hope pere can fix the cmd timeouts
in iwi4965 there's no problem with that
the driver scans (maybe with wrong bands)
the problem with association starts with
ieee80211_rx_mgmt_beacon()
this can be the gateway to start associating to a network


i'll try to hack the driver to associate when it gets a call to ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_resp()

the goal is to do this and stop the scan loop

let's try it...

iwi3945 rel 928 - only works if you don't get cmd timeouts
iwi4965 rel 929

let's move on

iwi3945 rel 930
iwi4965 rel 931

there's still some things to fix - the driver needs to add the network we want to associate to the stations table
you can see that in logs when you get a iwl4965_mac_config_interface

nordix,
don't mess with the code

pere,
have you find a fix?

looks like the driver works diferent in linux
the scans/associate requests are made out of the driver
i'm trying to make this work inside iwi3945/4965 - as i've done for iwi2200
so if this works the driver will associate to the first non secure network it finds
if i manage to do this i know nobody will complain

[pere]

I have been playing with the previous version here:

static int iwl3945_send_cmd_sync(struct iwl3945_priv *priv, struct iwl3945_host_cmd *cmd)
{
int cmd_idx;
int ret;
static atomic_t entry = ATOMIC_INIT(0); /* reentrance protection */

BUG_ON(cmd->meta.flags & CMD_ASYNC);

If i change 0 to 1, the it says there is already a command send... maybe there is one command doenst unqueue?,
and that causes the next command dont load?

Going to check this version.

I have been playing with the previous version here:

static int iwl3945_send_cmd_sync(struct iwl3945_priv *priv, struct iwl3945_host_cmd *cmd)

this is why i disabled the atomic_xchg on previous releases - maybe you can try it


iwi4965
iwl4965_add_station_flags Add STA ID 0: 00:1c:f0:40:1c:22
nice - this means station 0 is in the table
maybe i can use networkselector to allow user to choose the net to associate
meanwhile i'll try a easy hack

I have manage to start the card without the rx on timeout changing iosleep here:

if ( pmPCICapPtr )
{
fPCIDevice->saveDeviceState();
fPCIDevice->configWrite16( kPCIPMCSR, 0x8000 );
IOSleep(100); // wait for internal reset completion
fPCIDevice->restoreDeviceState();

Before was 10.
But now i dont see on my log what i saw in the last 3 versions....

Nordix, try it and post log. So we can compare if the hack is correct.

pere,
that is not the problem
the bug is in sending commands
in your logs you can make the scan call
but
after it finishes it doesn't send the config commands
if you fix this everything else will work
tip to try:
ret = HOST_COMPLETE_TIMEOUT/10;
while(test_bit(STATUS_HCMD_ACTIVE, &priv->status)) {
IOSleep(10);


i've add a hack in code for assoc
search in xcode for
hacking associate stabssid=
and you'll find the code
try to fix if it doesn't work
be back tomorrow
