FYI - new compat-wireless based on 2.6.33-rc4

FYI - new compat-wireless based on 2.6.33-rc4

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

The compat_firmware_class was having some issues which should now be
hopefully addressed:

  * Use a different subsystem name for sysfs registration, now compat_firmware
  * The new subsystem name change required a new udev rule to be added

The new compat-wireless for 2.6.33-rc4 has been pushed out with the
new changes. Unfortunately 2.6.33-rc5 hasn't been pushed out yet so I
just overwrote the old rc4 package (next time I'll just add an extra
extra version when this happens). The new sha1sum for this release is:

c007d7c8649d6149f415ea87dc7a34d4ee808766  compat-wireless-2.6.33-rc4.tar.bz2

Just kicked out a bleeding edge release with the same fixes:

65bb3cd6565f1788a2c63bfe8ccfdd8dfc1fb368  compat-wireless-2010-01-20.tar.bz2

Please let us know if there are any issues. I should note that the new
compat_firmware_class will be used *every time* compat-wireless is
used firmware needs to be uploaded, not just for the new
request_firmware_nowait().

compat-wireless-2010-01-20.tar.bz2 does not compile cleanly on ARM 
architectures.
Commenting out line 9 of compat-2.6.32.h (#include <asm/compat.h>) fixes 
the issue.
There is no arch/arm/include/asm/compat.h
I suspect there are several other architectures which have similar issues.

Thanks for the report, the asm/compat.h was needed as otherwise there
was a compile issue, not sure how to address this, hrm...

[PATCH] compat: fix build on arm

[Hauke Mehrtens]

ARM does not provided the include file asm/compat.h. Use linux/compat.h
instead, it includes asm/compat.h if needed.

Confirm; this fixes the compile issue for ARM

I also seem to be having issues with firmware loading.  Any clues would 
be helpful.

I have a Gumstix Overo Fire with a built in libertas_sdio, and an ar9170usb

It finds the libertas firmware just fine, but not the ar9170 firmware.

I'm using a 2.6.29 kernel.  This worked fine with 
compat-wireless-2009-11-17.  All the firmware files are in /lib/firmware.

Here's some dmesg output:

BTW Haukes posted a fix for the compile build against ARM. Try that.
That patch applies to compat.git but you should be able to mangle it
to apply to compat-wireless easily too.

OK so it failed here, you may want to try to debug udev stuff now
then, what distribution do you have? Where are your udev rules put?
Where is the original udev rule for firmware for your box?

You can debug udev stuff by using 'udevadm monitor'

I'm using openembedded.  Rules are in /etc/udev/rules.d
It contains a file 50-udev-default.rules with a line:

SUBSYSTEM=="firmware", ACTION=="add", RUN+="firmware.sh"

If I copy & paste and change the SUBSYSTEM to "compat_firmware" things 
seem to load ok.

Ok, I see what's going on now.  The openembedded recipe I'm working with 
didn't copy the udev stuff.

OK so not our fault? You just had to update your install target?

  Luis

Re: FYI - new compat-wireless based on 2.6.33-rc4

[Adam Wozniak]

Correct.  In this case, not your fault.  There is no openembedded recipe 
for compat-wireless, so I had to roll my own, and I flubbed it by 
leaving out the udev stuff.
