Logs for lates 4965..

[Uoc Nguyen]

Jalavouis, Could you post the flowchart of iwi3945 driver here? so, me or anyone can trace or test it better than ever, please ...

[pere]

@Javalui: pere, do you change code?

looks like your card as a double call to __iwl3945_up()

this is why it fails to scan

 

Nop, this time i just downloaded the svn and try it.

[jalavoui]

scan call - this is the right way to start a scan

 

iwi3945 rel 850

might need to change timers for your card

 

iwi4965 rel 851

i'll check the scan loop for this card

[Ruud]

oke here is my log for 851 4965

 

next log wil be .txt again

This is my 851 log (4965). Just tell me how to improve it!

he rulli, can you tell me how you are creating this log? its much nicer than mine..

[rulli]

I delete my log prior to loading the kext. After loading I just delete the xcode stuff out of it. Nothing else...

I post the logs from Windows (Macdrive) not using any script

[jalavoui]

iwi4965 rel 852

scan loop try

 

rulli,

your logs is better - it as the first log lines when the driver starts

[myself108]

sorry about the delay... studying for my university exams.

I havent been able to replicate the scan complete without a kernel panic, and I got by a combination of playing with the scan call functions and the iosleep timer.

 

here is my log for 4965 r852

system.txt

[pere]

REL 851.

 

Had to raise IOsleep to 750 to avoid ucode errors and swerrors, no timeouts now, no complete scan notification too.

 

:i´

 

Javalui, i think its better you hold on 4965 and stop 3945 cause i think will be easier to finish, anyway, im here to test and try as many times you may need...

[rulli]

852 log (4965)

This is a restart

system.txt

[Ruud]

here are my logs....

 

 

still no startup log line don't understand why they dont apear in the logs....but... i do see more scanning results

system.txt

[rulli]

Ruud: Try a restart since I always get initial lines on startup... Oh I see this is from a restart?

no this is a first boot with the kext installed, normally i use kextload... now im restarting.. will check the new results.

 

 

oke after a second reboot i get startup log lines, but i dont see any firmware logs like you have

[jalavoui]

iwi3945/4965

reenable this line

//ieee80211_sta_req_scan(dev,(u8*)"<hidden>", sizeof("<hidden>"));

looks like this allow to get a scan_complete

 

you can try other hacks - i'm out of ideas

//ieee80211_sta_req_scan(dev,(u8*)"<hidden>", sizeof("<hidden>"));

if i enable this at the end of compatiblity.cpp i have to put { } to correct the errors... will test now

 

 

ok logs... strange system.txt log

 

strange line in it:

 

iwl4965: U iwl4965_mac_open leave - failed

 

and what does this mean?

Scan ch.res: 2 [802.11bg] (TSF: 0x00000000:000F011E) - 0 elapsed=5777 usec (70ms since last)

Iosleep settled to 750 to avoid timeouts.

Reboot log. No scan complete on 3945.

I think I did something wrong but I'll post anyway. I reenabled the line in rel852 (4965) but disabled the next one, I don't think you meant this but hopefully it will help too

system.txt

 

I did this:

//ieee80211_sta_req_scan(dev,NULL,0);//maybe this?

hmm can you check if you get a log line with ----> 1st scan <---- in the line

 

if this isnt there i think it won't even reach this code. If this is the case, then edditing that code doesn't matter.

[rulli]

Well this is the whole log; so no 1st scan

What could I change?

[Ruud]

oke my log

 

 

i don't know where it goes wrong but i will take a look at it

system.txt

[jalavoui]

in this releases you can use networkselector to start the scan

open console -> system.log and see if it works

you have to wait for the scan to complete before call it again in networkselector

you might get a kp

 

iwi3945 rel 853 - also update some hacks from iwi4965

iwi4965 rel 854

 

 

pere, i add your timer - is this right?

 

 

on previous logs both card seems to finish the scan - the driver sometimes fail to show all debug lines

[Ruud]

can someone explain shortly how to use networkselector and where i can find it? else i cant test it..
