waiting on some kext to post logs

[Doctadre]

Alright jala, here are my iwi3945 logs. What hacks can I try for you? Here is that line that you referenced to cxddev:

May 4 08:54:47 doctadres-mac-pro kernel[0]: iwl3945: U iwl3945_mac_tx dev->xmit(342 bytes) at rate 0xffffffff
May 4 08:54:47 doctadres-mac-pro kernel[0]: error iwl3945: ERROR: No TX rate available.

Coldest Temperature Ive seen yet.

Also attached is the 3945 kext

iwi3945 rel 953 -> 2 reboots

very nice log - maybe all it takes is a few reboots

can you explain this:
iwl3945_add_station Add STA ID 0: 00:16:ca:f5:49:71
iwl3945_add_station Add STA ID 0: 00:14:d1:31:95:ca
iwl3945_add_station Add STA ID 0: 00:16:ca:f5:49:70

are this nets near you?

i'm suspecting that the driver don't scan all channels - please check this

but after you reboot you get timeouts and the driver stop working

theory for iwi3945
if the driver gets a _pmPowerState on them it's ready to work
let's try it

iwi3945 rel 955


iwi4965 rel 956
this is another way to scan


anyone to post logs?

[Doctadre]

@nordix, your logs are different than mine

@jala, whats wrong with my logs?

[nordix]

I have at least 3 public wifi networks in range of my card and my router ASUS WL-500G is on. Will try more reboots and post results within 30 minutes. Wait a bit, please

[Doctadre]

I think this is a good thing? 954logs + kext

iwl3945_add_station Add STA ID 0: 00:1e:2a:72:51:ec
report if you see in logs ALL scaned nets near you

[nordix]

Well, 3 reboots
1st - with kext
Then I delete kext and -> 2nd reboot
Then I install it again -> 3rd reboot

It works without timeouts only after manual replacement and only before next reboot.

Update: Maybe, simple kextunload-kextload will give the same result. I'll try it.

How can I check to be sure? There is only one connection near me. I think this one is it. The numbers line up, but the letters are different

report the mac address you have in iwi3945 and the ones you know are right

nordix
i don't understand your log
is it from last release?
the kextunload don't work - never use it

maybe the driver only works
after booting mac os x
and manual load with kextload

[nordix]

Jalavoui, it's from the last release.

Manual kextunload gives me freeze, but after reboot I have good logs. So, only complete remove-install of the kext can give me normal results.

I have to go, be back in an hour or so...

iwi 3945 955

Manual load, first 7 reboots, frozen on init_channel_map
Then restored the iosleep hack, reboot, no errors, no timeouts, just the jiffies error.
Second reboot after this, got ucode errors.
Post log from sucessfull reboot.

should i try this?:

try this in all statments
while (time_after(priv->next_scan_jiffies, jiffies)==1) {IOSleep(10);}
IWL_DELAY_NEXT_SCAN, jiffies)) {IOSleep(10);}

them try this
while (time_after(priv->next_scan_jiffies, jiffies)==0) {IOSleep(10);}
IWL_DELAY_NEXT_SCAN, jiffies)) {IOSleep(10);}

The scanned bbsid are correct, all are the real mac adresses from that stations.
But seems is just scanning channel 1. NO other mac adresses from other channels.

Yep iosleep is correct, but i will try to make it lower, is really huge i think.

...do a scan in windows,linux etc
copy to a text file the mac address of the scanned nets
use iwi3945 and check in log for the sta mac address it finds
if iwi mac address are wrong the driver will never work

this hack is already enabled
i'll enable the iosleep and commit to svn
looks like the driver is finally stable
i'll add the other way of scanning for testing
can you check if the iwi scaned mac addresses are correct?
does iwi3945 scan ALL nets? or just some
pere - the isleep(6000) is correct?

iwi3945 rel 957

iwi4965 rel 958
add the pwoer hack for testing

What I got in the build 954: 00:1e:2a:72:51:ec

Here is the iwi3945rel957, still trying to get a good screen

I give up, It all happens too fast for me to get a good screen, 10+ times now. Near Immediate KP. Anyone know how to get logs upon restart?

3945 debian syslog with debug=0xffffffff

this log helps a lot
thanks

the iwi drivers must be very good:
firmware->size = sizeof(ipw3945_ucode_raw); //149652;//crappy
May 4 20:01:50 puter kernel: iwl3945: U iwl3945_read_ucode Got firmware 'iwlwifi-3945-1.ucode' file (149652 bytes) from disk
the bug starts here - but - it works

cxddev,
to use HZ=250 you'll need to change qeue_xx, jiffies and others
are you shure this is the best way?

[myself108]

here is the 4965 r958 kext
logs on the way

edit:
Here are the logs... There are 4 reboots, second one -x boot, i get a kp every time
