From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: md@Linux.IT (Marco d'Itri) Date: Tue, 01 Mar 2005 19:25:04 +0000 Subject: Bug#297481: hotplug: Fails to load firmware for ipw2200 after upgrade Message-Id: <20050301192504.GA24710@wonderland.linux.it> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hotplug@vger.kernel.org What's wrong? The user is running udev 0054 with udevsend as the hotplug multiplexer, if /sbin/hotplug is restored then the firmware loader works again. (In the report he talks about hotplug, but we later verified that udev was upgraded at the same time.) ----- Forwarded message from Simon Guest ----- Subject: Bug#297481: hotplug: Fails to load firmware for ipw2200 after upgrade Reply-To: Simon Guest , 297481@bugs.debian.org From: Simon Guest To: Debian Bug Tracking System Package: hotplug Version: 0.0.20040329-17 Severity: normal I've been using ipw2200 successfully with the previous hotplug version, 0.0.20040329-16. Following a dist-upgrade, my hotplug was upgraded to 0.0.20040329-17, and after the next reboot, my ipw2200 wireless driver could no longer get its firmware loaded (via hotplug). Reverting to hotplug version 0.0.20040329-16 (and making no other changes to my configuration) caused the problem to go away. Lines logged in /var/log/kern.log as follows (for the broken case): Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:31:38 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: ipw-2.2-boot.fw load failed: Reason -2 Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Unable to load firmware: 0xFFFFFFFE Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: failed to register network device Feb 28 22:31:48 localhost kernel: ipw2200: probe of 0000:02:06.0 failed with error -5 Of course, it may be that the bug is in ipw2200 or somewhere else. I've built ipw2200 from the debian package ipw2200-source, version 1.0.0-1, running on standard Debian kernel image 2.6.8-1-686. For reference, when it works (using the previous hotplug), I get this logged: Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200/2915 Network Driver, 1.0.0 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Copyright(c) 2003-2004 Intel Corporation Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:02:06.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10 Feb 28 22:36:23 localhost kernel: ipw2200: Detected Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection [...] -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_GB, LC_CTYPE=en_GB (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages hotplug depends on: ii debconf 1.4.46 Debian configuration management sy ii grep 2.5.1.ds1-4 GNU grep, egrep and fgrep ii module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii modutils 2.4.26-1.2 Linux module utilities ii procps 1:3.2.5-1 /proc file system utilities -- debconf information: hotplug/ignore_pci_class_display: true hotplug/net_agent_policy: hotplug * hotplug/usb_keyboard: hotplug/static_module_list: hotplug/x11_usbmice_hack: false ----- End forwarded message ----- -- ciao, Marco ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
