@jalavoui

Thanks for the feedback, so the main focus point is "getting a list of accesspoints"

i'll try to figure out if the card can be set to other channels, i think the 4965 card can scan the A,B,G and N range, there should be some API call to set it i guess.

i have tried the new version, and the first time it boots it gives a kernal panic, i don't see it in the logging.

after a hard reboot it booted fine, but when the system is shut down, it took a long time...screen scrolled very fast, i gave it a ctrl+C (abort) and did reboot

in my logging i can conferm that this one exists (it's my main network N and WPA 2 encrypted)

this one is not available with other logger like AP grapher

in the logfile i do not find my test accesspoint g-standard - no encryption (on 00:16:cb:be:22:84)

i can't get the "scan_complete" with the new driver/code.

i'm analysing these two logfiles right now

one is the new driver which is not able to get a scan_complete

and the other is a modified codebase of last week, which does give the scan_complete

do you have any idea what triggert the result?

@jalavoui do you have icq/msn/irc, we might be able to speed things up (got a working laptop here) and i got some time this weekend

this should do it

eenMadcat, if not try to change the code in __ieee80211_rx()

iwi3945 rel 1151

iwi4965 rel 1152

maybe add a if in networkselector call helps getting a scan complete

the scan call should fail if already scanning

the driver seems to detect networks without the scan call...!?

after this is checked maybe trying to call the scan with a network ssid will work better

i've added

ieee80211_sta_start_scan(dev, ifsta->ssid, ifsta->ssid_len);//NULL, 0);

to svn tree

search for

IOLog("request scan!\n");

if you can find a way to make the user select from a network list (get if from __ieee80211_rx)

them you can try to call ieee80211_sta_req_scan(dev,ssid,ssid_len);

can you try this?

eenMadcat · June 6, 2008

during boot i am able to get a scan_complete again, but not using the tool.

i'm transfering logfile in a minute

edit:

woops, false alarm. still not able to get a scan_complete result.. trying to receive it.

it is seeing my "debug access point" and iwl4965_rx_scan_results_notif are received... still do not beleive the "802.11a" value

also seeing a ghost AP ...00:1b:2f:56:c5:6e

somehow it locks to this adress, dunno why!

during startup i scan is performed.. maybe some OSX call does this.

this scan call somehow gives a different result (better) as the scan call performed by the tool

jalavoui · June 6, 2008

yep,

if this is right passing the right ssid might help

are you using a old release?

i've disable the 1st auto scan call in check_firstup()

ok - i'll wait for your code

if you like to commit to the svn tree pm me with a gmail account so i can add you to iwidarwin

okey, ill try to receive the list from __ieee80211_rx first. or call the ieee80211_sta_req_scan from a known ssid

Ah, that makes sense why i do not get it anymore.. overall this scan was getting the best result -_-

log for 4965

ps: ieee80211_sta_start_scan looks like an interesting function

jalavoui · June 6, 2008

i just remembered that when this begins to work you'll get some kernel panics related with rx/tx code - we'll deal with it later

it will be nice that more people test the new releases and post logs

eenMadcat,

if this log is ok them the code with

printk("rxbssid=" MAC_FMT

in __ieee80211_rx()

is never called - sta is allways NULL ??

if you like to debug

set this in ieee80211_sta_start_scan()

/*if (!rc) {

local->sta_scanning = 1;

local->scan_dev = dev;

}

return rc;*/

this will force tx packets and give nice kp

but i think trying the scan with the right ssid should be the 1st thing to do

i have to go - good luck

ill load your driver again (is switching back and forwards)

do you have icq/msn/gtalk/other IM ?

i can not find "rxb" in the logging, so if that's not printed maybe sta is in this configuration null

i loaded the driver and hit scan, in the "console" i use "all messages" to find the string

UberPrinnyBaal · June 7, 2008

iwi4965 installs and boots ok on my machine (Dell XPS m1530, Intel Conroe T9300, 8600m GT, 3gb ram, running Kalyway 10.5.2), but networkSelector fails to find it.. looks like network stack isn't bound to anything. Any advice? I'd love to be able to contribute.

build r1156, system logs from most recent boot. Hope these are OK, else direct me.

eenMadcat,

you're an iwidarwin admin

keep posts here. this is better than msn,etc cause it allows others to follow development news

i don't have new code to post - anyone to help?

jalavoui · June 7, 2008

maybe this work

let the driver work for a minute before try to scan with networkselector

iwi3945 rel 1157

iwi4965 rel 1158

maybe you get a kp

eenMadcat · June 7, 2008

keep posts here. this is better than msn,etc cause it allows others to follow development news

oh well, how do you move data between the compatibilty,iwi4965, networktool ?

the structs like ieee80211_local are different, or am i forgetting something?

the new version lets the system hangs, no KP just hanging..

ps: in ieee80211_sta_req_scan shouldn't ieee80211_sta_start_scan be called when "sdata->type == IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_STA", instead of not equal?

jalavoui · June 7, 2008

add scanned nets list to networkselector

the driver is expected to enter a scan-loop

iwi3945 rel 1159

iwi4965 rel 1160

this code might need some fixes - check the hack in ieee80211_rx_bss_add()

the loop condition only happens if you get a scan_complete

the driver as no code for

wireless_send_event(dev, SIOCGIWSCAN, &wrqu, NULL);

this code gets the scan results

so i'll try to do this by hacking some code

this is the output of a scan - called by networkselector

is this correct (mac address and ssid)?

need others to post logs - i have 2/3 more releases to test

please post wich networks you can detect in windows/linux and wich ones are shown by iwi3945

maybe with this code eenMadcat or someone with the card can make the driver work

leo333,

i have no idea how much will a laptop cost

once i know it i'll post the value in iwidarwin

iwi4965 - 1160

iwi4965___1160.txt

It's the DMG we have to try, right?

Because I didn't saw any difference between previous.

iwi4965___1160_found.txt

Didn't give me any results until i closed network selector.

Suddenly all AP came out, they are the only near as far as windows can tell...

MAC's are correct

So seems nice

eenMadcat · June 7, 2008

Don't see the AP's in the log, should there be an new option in the tool? don't think it's merged with 4965 yet.

but i do see the HW_Scan is started and completed! but it keeps in this state

system.txt.zip

jalavoui · June 7, 2008

the code is ok for both cards

can you test with the dmg?

use option 2 of networkselector to get the scan list - can you check if networkselector as a bug in code?

nice

can you put back the hack in

ieee80211_rx_bss_add()

and check if this also gives the scan list?

another useful thing will be to make the scan list show other info (channel, security,etc)

can you change this and post a new release for testing?

the scan loop might not be a good idea

can you make the scan work manual and them output the scan list?

if this work you can them add a option to allow the user to associate to a network (see iwi2200)

i think if you call a scan with local->scan_dev set with the mac/ssid of the choosen net it could work - kp expected in tx code. this can be hard to debug - maybe make the driver associate to the 1st net it finds make it easier to debug the kp. there are so many ways to make this work - you just have to try a few to find the best way

i'll take to long posting releases to test all this stuff - hope you can write the code

if you feel inspired look at nsgui code and try to port it to iwi4965

i'll have to go - talk tomorrow

eenMadcat · June 7, 2008

yes i used the dmg, i do see now that option 2 is a little modified

i'll try to reboot a few times, maybe that results in something...

edit:

W00t, result! gathering logfiles now.

ill check an other scanner now, results seems valid

i got the results without quiting the tool.

note: it did take 2 times hitting "start scan" until the results where shown

looks like the scanning part is working smooth as a baby, it's actually receiving more assumable valid accesspoints then windows.
