So I didn't do the testing that soon...
Got swamped by many bugs present in ubuntu 9.10.

Now I have attempted same patch on top of wpa_supplicant, and it works.

diff --git a/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.c b/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.c

                addr = wpa_s->bssid;
        }
        wpa_clear_keys(wpa_s, addr);



Would that be enough, or this is too hacky, and we need to audit each callsite of wpa_supplicant_disassociate
and see if we need to send deauth frame too?

John pointed out Fedora & RHEL does /boot/config-*  . (and don't
provide /proc/config.gz). I don't know which distro does
/proc/config.gz Obviously neither Ubuntu nor Fedora/RHEL; maybe one of
Mandriva/Debian/Suse?

As a point of interest, /boot also contains the init ramdisk, the
kernel symbol map besides the kernel image (beside some
grub/boot-loader files), so it isn't too much to have another kernel
related file. For the purist, building the kernel to have
self-knowledge of its own config under /proc is a neat thing, but
OTOH, it uses kernel memory to provide what is very static unchanging
info under /proc, which is unwise.

Hi,
I am working on a research project which needs to change the channel 
width to 5,10 and 40MHz. Ive been looking through the mailing lists and 
there seems to be some interest in having an API built for this.
Would it be possible for someone to please outline the steps needed to 
enable 5,10,40 MHz channels? I am not looking for a clean implemented 
API, just whatever hack is required to change the PLL clock, modify 
PHY/RF settings (as mentioned in the thread below) in order to get this 
to work.

Thanks very much for your help
regards,
Aditya Bhave

* [.32-rc1/2] ath5k: has become unreliable with .32-rc1
From: Frans Pop @ 2009-09-30  7:52 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless; +Cc: linux-kernel, Bob Copeland

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6178 bytes --]

This is on a laptop I don't use much, but with .31 wireless has always
been (and still is) reliable (.31-rc5 is the last kernel I built for it).
On my other laptop wireless (iwlagn) works fine with .32-rc1.


The first time I booted .32-rc1 (reboot from .31-rc5), wireless came up
without problems, but failed to come back after suspend to RAM. I could
only get wireless back by ejecting and re-inserting the PCMCIA card.

The second and third time I booted .32-rc1 (to write this report; a cold
boot and a ".32 to .32" reboot), wireless did not come up at all.
See attached dmesg. The last part is after 'ifup ath0'. It seems to
associate, but then for some reason immediately deauthenticates again.
Ejecting/reinserting the PCMCIA card or unloading/reloading the driver
does not help.

After that I tried .31-rc5 again and wireless came up fine. And when I
then rebooted into .32, wireless came up OK as well, same as the first
boot.

So the difference looks to be how I boot: if I do a *cold* boot directly
into .32, wireless fails; if I *reboot* from .31 into .32, wireless
comes up correctly. Reboot from .32 to .32 fails too.

I think the "wireless after boot" problem and the "resume" problem could
very well be separate issues. The resume problem looks similar to
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13948.

* ar9170usb and Fritz! USB: LEDs are confused
From: Malte Gell @ 2009-09-30  9:55 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless

Hi there!

Thanx for your work, finally my Firtz! USB n stick works now.

But, just one little, very minor thing. The LEDs are confused ;-) This stick 
has two LEDs, a green one and a orange one. The green says "connected and 
working", the orange only flashes when data is being transmitted.

But, with compat-wireless-2009-09-29 it is just vice very :-) The orange LED 
is always on and the green one flashes when data is transmitted :-) It should 
be the other way.

It's not very important, just wanted to say it.

Thanx
Malte

Just tried 2.6.31.1 and getting same issues as I got from
2.6.31. Interesting is also that at first disassociation I can
re-activate it by authorizing again with the hub. The second time
around though that doesnt work.

* B43 Module on Compaq HP615 Laptop
From: Reiner Schmidt @ 2009-09-30 11:04 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: linux-wireless

Hello, 
I am trying to install the newest compat-wireless package (from 30.09.2009) 
onto this notebook. It has a Broadcom 4312 compatible  WLAN device on it .
Its id is:14e4:4315.
I use s debian sidux distribution with an 2.6.29-4 liquorix-kernel.
Unfortunately I can currently use newer kernels on this notebook because it 
wouldn't boot up. Tried several 2.6.30 and -31 kernels up too 2.6.31-1.

Compiling the package works so far but when loading the module b43 manually or 
via /etc/modules it complains heavily about ssb-related issues.

Is this a real bug or do Ihave to submit additional prameter for the module 
when I load it? 
If so, where can I find those otions ?

Kind regards

You need to unload the old ssb prior to loading b43 (which loads an
updated ssb).

Hello John,

as i wrote here

http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=125277885910179&w=2

there are currently only three occurrences of checks that use netif_rx() and
netif_rx_ni() depending on in_interrupt().

And regarding the suggested fix from Michael, that checked every(!) netif_rx()
whether it is in interrupt or not, i was unsure if a netif_tx_ti() would make
sense for only three cases?!?

If you think it makes sense, i can post a patch for that ... but:

Indeed it costs some additional investigation to prove whether netif_rx() or
netif_rx_ni() should be used in each case. But IMHO this has to be done before
providing a pump-gun function that solves the problem without thinking if we
are in irq-context or not. I want to avoid that people are using netif_rx_ti()
as some kind of default ...

I don't know how expensive in_interrupt() is, but it IMO should be avoided
when the context for a code section can be determined in another way.

Regards,
Oliver

Although iwlagn works, I would think this kind of thing:

...is some kind of issue with userspace or wext rather than the driver.
Ath5k only had a dozen or so patches this time around, so it should be
easy to bisect if it's a problem in the driver.  One possibility is
hardware CCMP support but I've been using it here for some time.

By the way, name it what you will, but the standard is wlan0 these days :)

Is that repeatable?

Rafael J. Wysocki has a patch floating around to fix PCMCIA resume,

Since Karmic tracks the 2.6.31 -stable kernels, it's worth reporting
this upstream (CC'd) instead, particularly if it's a regression from a
previous kernel version, using the same ath5k driver...?

Then, it'll be in Karmic in ~ a few weeks.

The iw utility isn't generally useful to normal users, so move it to
$(PREFIX)/sbin with other system management executables.

I did that, too. ;) Hopefully it will be in 2.6.31.2.

As you wish...on it's way!

FWIW, Fedora has been including it for normal users for a few
releases now.

I agree that it /bin vs /sbin is not strictly necessary, but it is
standard practice.  I guess it does enable some users to either drop
those tools completely from their path or to order their path to
select alternate versions of tools for whatever reason.  Whatever...

I think Fedora will move iw and rfkill to /sbin in any case.
This enables them to be used before /usr is mounted and makes sure
root has them early in his path.  The posted patches are not strictly
necessary for that, but they slightly simplify the install process.
Plus, I think they are more compliant with standard practices.

I requested it in Ubuntu and stable in two separate emails, just to be 
sure it will be there when I am going to upgrade. ;)
I apologize if I caused confusion or doubled your amount of work.
Maybe I should have done this in one email to both parties.

Not really a big deal -- still, one email would tend to reduce confusion. :-)

What if we just get the fix merged and discuss later whether it's worth to optimize a picosecond or not??
My patch fixes the _bug_. You can merge a more "efficient" fix later that saves one or two CPU cycles.

I agree with Michael. The bug is real and I have verified that
Michael's patch fixes the issue. Better to apply the patch now, it's
trivial to change the implementation if/when the network stack has
support for this.

FWIW, I think in mac80211 the in_interrupt() check can never return true
since we postpone all RX to the tasklet. But the tasklet seems to be ok
-- so should it really be in_interrupt()?

Some distros include b44 and ssb in their initrd so that the box can
netboot. It is likely that yours is one of them. In this case, this
means that the wrong ssb is already loaded when you try to load b43.

The solution that Gabor gave you is correct; however if you rebuild
mkinitrd after building the compat modules, then it should work.

I think a tasklet is also in_interrupt(), because it's a softirq.
in_interrupt() returns false in process context. The problem appeared when
the b43 driver started passing RX frames while being in process context (threaded IRQ).
It previously was in tasklet (= softirq) context.

Ah, yes, indeed, in_interrupt() vs. in_irq().

mac80211 rate control code is MCS rate unaware, but we do at least
let drivers pass the MCS rate for tx status reporting. ath9k
unfortunately reports back the wrong MCS rate though because
of the way ath9k rate control works... it seems correcting this
requires a rewrite of our ath9k rate control code and no one has
prioritized on that as its a non-functional fix.

The first step then is to make mac80211 rate controle code MCS
aware and adding MCS rate control support to minstrel, for example.

For ath9k it'd be nice to fix the rate control code to be able
to report the right MCS index, I really am not sure how involved
that is as I've tried to stay away from the rate control code.

A good step would be to get ath9k rate control to be switchable
to minstrel, for example. This can be done as a module parameter
to start but eventually I think it'd be nice to be able to switch
through iw on any given device. That would require quite a lot of
work though.

Once mac80211 is MCS rate control aware the next step would be to
add a commands to set an MCS rate.

The cheesy and quick way to this for ath9k would be through
ath9k/debufs.c
