[PATCH V2] bcm43xx: Fix failure to deliver PCI-E interrupts

[PATCH V2] bcm43xx: Fix failure to deliver PCI-E interrupts

[Larry Finger]

The PCI-E modifications to bcm43xx do not set up the interrupt vector
correctly. Tested with BCM4311 (PCI-E) on x86_64 and BCM4306 (PCI) on i386.

John,

This fix should be applied to wireless-2.6 _AND_ pushed upstream to
2.6.20-rcX. Without this patch, none of the PCI-E interfaces will work.
This version incorporates Michael Buesch's comments, and forgoes some
code clean-ups that were in the first version/

This was successful for me.  My 4311 is now getting interrupts, and I
was able to successfully associate with an AP.  (i386)

That does the (i386) mean here?
Were you able to accociate with your PCI or PCI-E card?

Stephen has an i386 system with a PCI-E 4311. The PCI card on i386 was mine, which I tested to make
sure the logic change didn't break the old systems. The display on my old laptop died and wasn't
worth fixing; however, I ssh into it to test on a PCI system.

Results so far....
In a word Wow. It still doesn't work but I suspect that is could just
be my configuration. Power levels are not being reported correctly all
the time iwlist works but nothing else to my knowledge. I remember
there being talk of power level reporting patches. Is there anything I
can try adding. For the first time in a long time it does associate
with AP's but I can't dhcpcd eth1. I am using an access point next
door. Mine is down. I will test it with a good one at school on
Tuesday.

I sent this to the list but I don't know if it got to the list.

To get signal levels reported correctly, you also need patch_2.6.18.1_signal_quality.

This one needs watching. The LED has worked on previous computers.

Most likely. How far are you from the AP?

The received signal and noise levels should be fixed by the patch listed above.

This hunk is OK, but I just want to point out that bustype is
always equal to BCM43xx_BUSTYPE_PCI ;)
The 0x53 timeouts are for an SSB-BUS.
So strictly said this hunk is a NOP.

The other hunks are OK, too. They fix real bugs.
Thanks for spotting them, Larry!

So then what fixed int's for Stephen Sinclair? Or did they already
work? I would gladly help test I knew it applied to me.

The lack of int's was due to the bugs mentioned above. His interface didn't work until he applied
the patch, which I hope fixes everyone's PCI-E problems. Please do test.

I have tried 3 more AP at much closer distances <9ft and <4ft and it
still won't work. I ether get "Network Down" or a timeout.
