[ath9k-devel] ath9k WMP300nv2 (AR5416)

[Alexander Bartha]

Hello to ath9k developers

i am using:

Distribution: gentoo
Kernel: 2.6.28-r1
Linux-Headers: 2.6.28-r1
Wireless Card: Linksys WMP300n v2 European
Router: Linksys WRT160n


i have tested wmp300nv2 European Version without any luck. I have tried to compile the kernel in that way you told on the the web site(ath9k howto).
At your howto is Networking  --->
  Wireless  --->
    <M> Improved wireless configuration API
    <M> Generic IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack (mac80211) both as Module
when i tried both as module i cant load mac80211 or cfg80211 so ath9k fails also. 
One time i get it to work (with kernel 2.6.27-r7) (cfg80211 and mac80211 directly in the kernel not as module) but with only 8MB/sec Bandwith and channel 12 and 13 was not able to access. I need channel 12 or 13 cause in the neibourhood are much wireless routers and none of this routers uses channel 12 or 13 so at these channels i get the stablest and speedest network.
Please can you help me with a working kernel config an tell me which packeges i have to install that my linksys wmp300nv2 card could work at 80211N 130MB/sec with support for all channel inkluding channel 12 and 13. 
Sorry for these ugly english. Sorry for these mail but i tried many times to build my kernel without any luck on the linksys card. I have attached my kernel config.
Thanks for helping.

The easiest way is to just use compat-wireless.

After building my kernel with cfg80211 and mac80211 as modules it was posible to install the compat-wirless drivers. And for the first time the worked! ifconfig tells me that my bandwith is only 1MBS and the ip i get from my LinksysWRT160 is renewed every 6Minutes. Later in the evening i make package updates (crda 0.9.5 to 1.0.1) my linksysWMP300nv2 card wont worke. The last message i get was link is not ready.

Great to hear!

Do you mean iwconfig? iwconfig does not tell you MCS (HT or 802.11n rates)
and you will see 1 Mbps rate when that is used. To get more accurate MCS rate stats
you now have to use iw:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Gettingstationstatistics

sudo iw dev wlan1 station dump

This is still being worked on by mac80211 drivers, so you won't see the last TX rate yet
but hopefully soon.

"link not ready" just means that you haven't associated yet. I know -- this is a bit cryptic,
but in a way its right, and its certainly correct for ethernet.

Nope, what is happening here is the kernel is not getting the regulatory domain. Please
show me the log of you compiling and installing CRDA (make clean; make; sudo make install).
Then, as per CRDA debugging page [1] you can debug commmunication between the kernel and
crda by running:

sudo udevadm monitor --environment kernel

But I want you to do this by first doing this:

sudo rmmod ath9k mac80211 cfg80211
sudo dmesg -c > /dev/null

Then on one terminal have open 'sudo udevadm monitor --environment kernel' and in another
run:

sudo modprobe cfg80211
sudo dmesg -c > log

Send me that log, and also the output from the terminal with the udevadm running.

OK so everything looks good except I am in doubt your udev rule file is being setup
in place correctly. Can you do:

cat /lib/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/regulatory.rules

"links is not ready" is not a bad message, it means you are just not associated and you can start
now trying to associate.

That's because the new version of crda-1.0.1 installs the file into /lib/udev/rules.d/85-regulatory.rules.
So long as you have the file it is OK.

Again this is OK!

The version of CRDA won't matter much, you just need the rules file in proper place and a
crda bin in /sbin/crda. Most of the changes from 0.9.5 to 1.0.1 were purely to help
distributions out. One of the changes for exampl was to use now /lib/udev/rules.d/ intstead
of /etc/udev/rules.d. I recommend to just use the latest version of crda anyway.

I'm pretty sure most version of udev should work fine with this, crda isn't using
any complex setting from udev.

You may want to fine tune your AP to not kick people off after a
period of innactivity. You can find the reasons on IEEE-802.11 2007 doc:
