error initializing AR7010+AR9280 Xbox 802.11n adapter

error initializing AR7010+AR9280 Xbox 802.11n adapter

[George Nychis]

Hi all,

A while back, I posted to the list looking for an AR7010+AR9280 USB
802.11n device that I could hopefully use with ath9k:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/67252

One adapter that came up was the Xbox 360 802.11n adapter, which has
this chipset solution:
http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Microsoft_Xbox_360_Wireless_N_Networking_Adapter

I purchased one of the Xbox 360 802.11n adapters, and would now like
to get it working with ath9k_htc, but having some issues.

First, I added support for the USB device. I edited
./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hif_usb.c ... and added this to
static struct usb_device_id ath9k_hif_usb_ids[]:

 { USB_DEVICE(0x045e, 0x02a8),
   .driver_info = AR9280_USB }, /* Microsoft Wireless N */

After that, I rebuilt and got the module up and running.  However,
when I plug in the device, I get the following errors:
After installing the new driver and plugging in the device, this is
the error I get:
[ 4599.236871] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_7010.fw, size: 72996
[ 4600.237494] ath9k_htc 1-1:1.0: ath9k_htc: Target is unresponsive
[ 4600.237494] Failed to initialize the device
[ 4600.240386] ath9k_htc: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22
[ 4600.248782] usbcore: registered new interface driver ath9k_htc

The light on the Xbox adapter goes solid, which makes me believe part
of the firmware was written to the device.

Has anyone had any experience with getting the Xbox 802.11n adapter to
work with compat-wireless?  If not, does anyone have any suggestions
or direction I should go in?

Thanks!
George

BTW - this is with compat-wireless-2011-04-29, and firmware 1.2:

Bad luck. :(

AR9280+AR7010 USB dongles are based on UB94, the Xbox adapter is not, it's
based on a different reference design, so it is not surprising that ath9k_htc
fails to bring up the card.

Looks like a different firmware is required for the Xbox 360 adapter.
I am not sure how different the fw is from htc_7010, so it is hard to say
how much work has to be done to port the required changes to htc_7010.fw.

I don't have the adapter with me, so any fw change has to be tested by you. :)

I get a bit different output testing with a genuine Xbox360 adapter
and a Datel clone:

The USB connection with the genuine Xbox360 adapter also seems to be
rather finicky.

[George Nychis]

Hi Sujith and Mark,

Thanks for the responses!

I can definitely help with any sort of debugging of new firmware for
the device.  I thought it was UB94 based, but I guess not :)

Any firmware changes you make, I will definitely test.  I did some
digging around about the firmware, but it appears the firmware is
closed-source.  So, I'm not sure I can help out with any of the actual
coding/modifications to it.  You must be on the Atheros-in, whereas I
am on the Atheros-out ;)

Is there something I can get to you initially to be of some help?  Any
usbmon output or some state from the device?

Your last e-mail sounded a little more hopeful, this e-mail makes it
sound like I should jump ship on this hardware and track down another
AR7010+AR9280 solution...

It seems like the combo in production with UB94 is still not widely
available.  The Panasonic N5HBZ000005 is the only UB94 that seems is
semi-available in the US.  Maybe I'll jump back to AR9271+AR7010.

Sorry, missed a 5 at the end of the panasonic model: N5HBZ0000055

Re: error initializing AR7010+AR9280 Xbox 802.11n adapter

[George Nychis]

Has anyone tried either of these with ath9k_htc:
Sony UWA-BR100
TiVo AN0100

I'm curious if anyone has had success with them, and if they are UB94
based.  It'd be great to know.

Re: error initializing AR7010+AR9280 Xbox 802.11n adapter

[George Nychis]

I decided to get the Sony BR100 and try it out, given that the
WikiDevi page for the device seems to suggest that it works with
ath9k_htc:
http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Sony_UWA-BR100

My confidence is also a little higher given that someone has it
working in Windows, also.

But, using the most recent firmware and compat-wireless, I get the
same exact error that I did with the Xbox adapter:
[ 1277.228258] usb 2-2: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_7010.fw, size: 72996
[ 1278.228930] ath9k_htc 2-2:1.0: ath9k_htc: Target is unresponsive
[ 1278.229788] Failed to initialize the device
[ 1279.029952] ath9k_htc: probe of 2-2:1.0 failed with error -22

The WikiDev page mentions that it worked as of Jan. 8, 2011.  So I
rolled back compat-wireless to that date and grabbed the old firmware
from the old tree.

Unfortunately, I still get the same error:
[  386.398366] usb 1-1: USB disconnect, address 4
[  388.412466] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 5

[  390.112282] usb 1-1: ath9k_htc: Target is unresponsive
[  390.112308] Failed to initialize the device
[  390.113658] ath9k_hif_usb: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22

So, either this person had some form of magic, or I am missing
something... I'd be curious to try it in Windows.  BTW, it shows up in
Mac OSX as "Buffalo" ...

This is  UB94 based, so it should work with ath9k_htc.
Can you post the output of lsusb -v ?

Is there anything more I can do to help here? I've tried older versions of

Nope, nothing from your side. I have asked internally if the card could
be used by the HTC drivers without any changes, will update once I get an answer.

Can you try the attached firmware ?

Bleh, had a bunch of local changes.
Can you try this instead ?

Yep, seems like the same error:

Thanks for trying to help

Hm, looks like 0x0411 doesn't match. Can you try this FW ?

Well, looks like my FW hack didn't work out. I will be getting a UWA-BR100,
so I'll play around with it and we'll see where it goes. :)

Great, thanks Sujith!  Are we positive that the Xbox adapter is also
not UB94 now that we have seen both of these with this problem?  I am
not sure if this was speculation after seeing the initial error, or if
it is a known fact.

Yes, the Xbox adapter is not based on UB94.

And apparently no changes are required to use UWA-BR100, as an internal
engineer was able to use ath9k_htc as is, after adding the PID/VID
to the driver. So maybe the card that you have bought is different
from the UWA-BR100 sample that he used. Will poke some more people and
see if we're missing something.

Maybe if we can compare lsusb of both devices to ensure that they are
actually the same.

Could you have him read what the FCC ID is on the back of the stick?
My details are:

IC: 409B-UWABR100
FCC ID: AK8UWABR100
ANATEL: 0010-10-4749

BTW - was this with your updated firmwares you sent me, or with the
standard 1.2 firmware?

Tried on a second machine with no luck still... could he get me his
exact build and firmware?

Re: error initializing AR7010+AR9280 Xbox 802.11n adapter

I finally have this working with compat-wireless-2011-05-13 on a third
machine, with v1.2 of the hardware.  A little bit of weirdness in the
device name though:

wlan%d    IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:off/any
          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=20 dBm
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

"wlan%d" ... seems like a bug trying to insert the number in to the string.

Thank goodness this works... the difference between the machines?  I'm
not sure yet.  This is good news though.

Although the xbox 360 adapter is not UB94, I will still try it on this
machine tomorrow to see if it initializes or anything.

Nice. :)

What machine/distro did you use in which the card worked ?

yep yep, it's an x86 with Ubuntu 10.4 on it.

I tried the xbox adapter, and now I get the same error as Mark:

[333693.330144] usb 2-3: ath9k_htc: Transferred FW: htc_7010.fw, size: 73008

But, I'll move on with the Sony adapter for now.  If you ever want to
try any different firmware for the Xbox adapter, just let me know!
