That is corect, the driver does not have support for h/w crypto. But do you actually notice a performane hit in practice? The intel maintainers of the linux driver recently committed changes to their driver to disable h/w crypto support by default. I didn't see an explanation for why. > > > I am interested in a wireless NIC (802.11g band) which has on board > support to deal directly w/ TKIP, and possibly AES (so that my laptop > does not get very hot while during use of wireless connection). Can > anybody verify if Netgear WG111T has such support? Heat indicates the card is running a lot; this is separate from doing crypto in h/w (which likely will draw even more power). The iwi cards do support power save operation in which the firmware will power down parts of the card when not active. However in my testing this behaves horribly. With the 2.40 firmware operating in sta mode I observed a 2915 card come out of power save mode for every beacon. It does this by sending two null data frames to the ap; one to tell it that it's now operating on full power and then another, after the beacon, to tell it that it's going back to sleep. This may help keep the power draw low (though it's hard to believe) but will load your wireless network (imagine a bunch of stations operating in this way). I monitored the linux driver to make sure this wasn't a bug in my code and saw the same thing. As to the netgear card, all current Atheros-based cards do h/w crypto and the driver uses it.

Also, is there a way to find out which > version of firmware is loaded? I did just that this morning on FreeBDS 6.0. During the port install, it mentions this: ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -f /boot/firmware/ipw.fw As for loading at boot time, I created /etc/start_if.ipw0 and put this into it: ifconfig ipw0 ssid DansSecretSSID ipwcontrol -i ipw0 -f /boot/firmware/ipw.fw FWIW, I've so far found ipw to be much more stable under 6.0 than it was under -currnent.

No, wrong. You didn't read what ndisgen said about the nature of firmware files. There are _extra_ files, in addition to the .inf and .sys files. The Intel driver doesn't have any: they compiled the firmware for the chip directly into the driver (which is why w70n51.sys is several megabytes in size -- not only did the compile it in, they did it in S-record format). > The result was w70n51_sys.ko and w70n51.sys.ko Go back and do it again, this time skipping the firmware by just hitting enter at the prompt.

When DOWN, > yes, it takes an SSID, but moving the card to UP loses the SSID: It doesn't "lose" the SSID. It's not able to associate in the first place. Setting the SSID when the interface is down doesn't have any effect on the chip. When it's up, ifconfig will report exactly what the NDIS driver's current state is. (If it's not associated, it'll report as much.) Unfortunately, you provided very little additional information. In particular, you failed to report the output of "ifconfig ndis0 scan" to us. If the card doesn't see an AP named "foo" when you do a scan, it won't be able to associate. You also failed to tell us what kind of AP you're trying to associate with and what security options, if any, may be set on it. You also didn't mention if your laptop has an RF kill switch and whether or not you turned it on. You should be able to just do "ifconfig ndis0 ssid up" and have it associate when it starts up. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Engineer, Master of Unix-Fu wpaul@windriver.com | Wind River Systems ============================================================================= you're just BEGGING to face the moose ============================================================================= From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Tue Feb 7 23:33:34 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5117616A420 for ;

That looks familiar. I think I tried that yesterday. Tomorrow, I'll try all the above and reply again.

I bought a Netgear WG111v2. I found prism54.org's p54u-0.8 but the compile failed with "error: field `sc_buf' has incomplete type". I also used ndisgen to create a module using the inf and sys file from CD, but it complained when loading with kldload: no match for USBD_ParseConfigurationRequestEx no match for USBD_ParseConfigurationDescriptorEx and even though if_ndis was then loaded, I didn't have any ndis0 to configure with ifconfig. I am using FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE. As I have limited time and I don't have any internet access on the box (making it hard to troubleshoot and hard to test other ideas), I'd like to just buy an expensive USB adapter for wireless that works with default install. Any suggestions? I do see ural. Please CC me when replying. Thanks. Jeremy C.

It probably won't be easy to do change (like just allowing to write to the variable) and I don't really see a need for it. The device is configured/initialized according to this value during device attach (on boot). Why you need to change it during run time? Normally it's a set-once value. In consumer products it should even be set correctly by the vendor/reseller in the HW.

You're right, this does not need to be changed more than once but it's neverless silly if you have to reboot each time you do. All the comercial implementations allows you to change this value on the fly. Cheers, Marcin.

I thought I would reiterate what I have done and see if anyone may have any suggestions now. The problem is in the power management system in FreeBSD 6.0. I have previously run 5.4 on this same system and never had this problem. I even compiled the same kernel on this system that I previously compiled in 5.4 and that does not solve the problem. My problem is that X will be unexpectedly shut down, presumably due to power issues. No messages that I can find end up in /var/log/messages explaining what happened. This usually happens when the battery reads less than 10 minutes remaining, and will happen without a chance to plug in the AC adapter. My previous kernel ran ACPI, I recently changed to acpi_ibm and the problem is the same. I am running KDE as my X environment, and have the power settings in there disabled except for battery monitor. What should I look at next for this? thank you Lee Parsons From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Wed Feb 8 20:00:53 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 796FC16A420 for ; Wed, 8 Feb 2006 20:00:53 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from sam@errno.com) Received: from ebb.errno.com (ebb.errno.com [69.12.149.25]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 2CED943D46 for ; Wed, 8 Feb 2006 20:00:52 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from sam@errno.com) Received: from [10.0.0.248] (trouble.errno.com [10.0.0.248]) (authenticated bits=0) by ebb.errno.com (8.12.9/8.12.6) with ESMTP id k18K0oo7064543 (version=TLSv1/SSLv3 cipher=DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA bits=256 verify=NO); Wed, 8 Feb 2006 12:00:51 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from sam@errno.com) Message-ID: <43EA4E9A.7080705@errno.com> Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 12:03:38 -0800 From: Sam Leffler User-Agent: Thunderbird 1.5 (X11/20060117) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Jiri Mikulas References: <43E9DCA0.4060704@mikulas.com> In-Reply-To: <43E9DCA0.4060704@mikulas.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: ath countrycode X-BeenThere: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Mobile computing with FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 08 Feb 2006 20:00:53 -0000 Jiri Mikulas wrote: > Hello > I have ATH cards Wistron CM9 (AR5213), > I want to set correct countrycode to use correct channels (ETSI) > (channels 1-13 on 11g, channels 100-140 on 11a) > but it's "disabled' > > osika:/# sysctl -a dev.ath.0.countrycode=203 > sysctl: oid 'dev.ath.0.countrycode' is read only > > On most HW wireles AP I can switch country (for example COMPEX WPE54AG-5GHz), > on NetBSD and Linux I can set it too (according to this article http://www.fehu.org/atheros.html ) > so I'm little bit suprised, that it's 'forbiden' on Freebsd I cannot comment on netbsd or linux but if they are using my hal I doubt you are actually changing the channel list and/or regulatory constraints when you do the sysctl. It is possible to make that sysctl r/w though you'll still be constrained by the regdomain setting in the eeprom of the card. I'm not sure I'll get to it before 6.1 but it should mostly be calling ath_hal_initchannels (sic?) to replenish the channel list and then propagate whatever state you need up through the driver and net80211 layer. This is necessary to implement 802.11d. Otherwise you need to force the driver to re-attach in some manner to get a revised channel list. The easiest way is to unload the driver if built as a loadable module.

All other issues have been solved and everything is working and stable (speedstep, lid-suspend, buttons, wifi, network/mouse after suspend etc.) - I have aprox. 2.5 hours when I run on battery - but if I send the R51 into suspend (S3) the battery is completely drained after 6-7 hours? I have been trying to add 'Radeontool' to my suspend/resume scripts - but this does not solve the problem. Would anybody be able to advice me on this subject ?

Any idea, how it is about the interaction of amd with KDE or Gnome? I ask, because I remember to have read somewhere, that the KDE team does not want to support another automounting mechanism other then the GNU/Linux hal+dbus way. So can amd be used as equal replacement for the missing hal? -- Sincerely, Michael A FreeBSD Prospect, who is actually using Gentoo Linux From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Thu Feb 9 16:34:41 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5B4E316A420 for ; Thu, 9 Feb 2006 16:34:41 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from oberman@es.net) Received: from postal1.es.net (postal1.es.net [198.128.3.205]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 29E7443D45 for ; Thu, 9 Feb 2006 16:34:41 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from oberman@es.net) Received: from ptavv.es.net ([198.128.4.29]) by postal1.es.net (Postal Node 1) with ESMTP (SSL) id IBA74465; Thu, 09 Feb 2006 08:34:38 -0800 Received: from ptavv.es.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by ptavv.es.net (Tachyon Server) with ESMTP id 6AF8C45041; Thu, 9 Feb 2006 08:34:37 -0800 (PST) To: Gregers Petersen In-reply-to: Your message of "Thu, 09 Feb 2006 11:07:44 +0100." <43EB1470.9020806@cbs.dk> Date: Thu, 09 Feb 2006 08:34:37 -0800 From: "Kevin Oberman" Message-Id: <20060209163437.6AF8C45041@ptavv.es.net> Cc: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Power-drain during suspend?

Sure. It's free and probably worth about that, but: Since you are using RadeonTool, are you just turning off the LCD screen? Yo also should turn off the DAC which is used to drive the VGA connector. # If radeontool is available, turn off the light if [ -x /usr/local/bin/radeontool ]; then /usr/local/bin/radeontool light off /usr/local/bin/radeontool dac off fi I don't bother to turn the DAC back on whenI resume, since I really don't ever use it. Another big issue is setting the power states of PCI devices. While support for this has been in FreeBSD for a while (6.0?), the application of them on some platforms, usually desktops, results in lock-ups. As a result, parts are disabled by default. Most laptops have no problems implementing this capability and turning it on should improve things, as well. hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=[1|2|3] The larger the number, the more aggressive the power limitations.

Not really. I used to provide input the the FreeBSD laptop page in Austria, but I had too many issues with maintenance that I quite a while ago. Ideally the handbook should contain an overview of the things that are not specific to the laptop model, but most of this is pretty new...often still of uncertain reliability. Since I run -current on my laptop, I am seldom certain of what has been MFCed. In the case of sysctls, I can look at my 6-Stable system to confirm whether the sysctl is there or I can check CVS. Checking CVS is a bit more labor intensive, so I am less prone to do this on the spur of the moment. > Something along the lines of > > [] > changes to kernel config (e.g. leave out devices to be loaded as KLDs) > changes to /boot/loader.conf > changes to /etc/rc.suspend > changes to /etc/rc.resume > changes to /etc/sysctl.conf > > [] > ... > > In a machine parsable form would be very nice.

While something like this, without the attempt at machine readability, has been done a couple of times, the problem is in keeping the information up to date and keeping track of just what systems it applies to. For example, things can change quite a bit depending on the BIOS version and the "sub-model" numbers. There are many different configurations of the R51 and they have very significant differences that impact configuration. It's a daunting task to even try to deal with this and maintaining it seems to be too much. (I'm sure not volunteering.) > > hw.pci.do_power_nodriver=[1|2|3] > > This goes in sysctl.conf? Yes.

It was ircomm or irs, I forgot which one, it just printed out some data whenever the IR port received a signal. I sent signals with my TV remote. I didn't get farther than this, because that was around the time when Maksim introduced bluetooth support to FreeBSD, and I used that from then on. This was on an IBM T30.

Power state management is probably most significant to suspend, but, unlike some of the power management stuff, this one is not a performance hit and was intended to be enabled all of the time. I have it in /etc/sysctl.conf and run with it set all of the time. Perhaps imp or jhb can enlighten me if I don't correctly understand this. -- R.

If it does not work you will most likely see your system lock up. I believe that some SCSI controllers may have problems with it in FreeBSD. It's not clear to me whether this is a FreeBSD driver problem or a hardware/firmware issue. I have never had it fail but have seen reports that it does on some systems and that's why it is disabled by default. Since the reported problems have been with disks, I suppose it's possible that the lock-up won't happen until the problem driver/device is used. If the disks can't be accessed, it's kind of obvious that there is a problem. :-) -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.

Are you using radeontool and turning off both the DAC and the display (assuming you have a Radeon video chip)? It saves a quite a bit of power. Other than that, I'm not sure what to suggest.

I formatted my Toshiba M30 and afterwards my touchpad doesn't work anymore. I uninstalled and reinstalled my drivers for it and it still doesn't work. I went in search for newer drivers but there weren't any. I even tried removing all mouse related drivers and then reinstall them again still my touchpad does not respond. (it says device is working fine under the properties). Any suggestions?

Wasn't there an issue with usb drivers not being able to properly shut down and put into powersave mode all connected devices? Has that been remedied? If not you could try removing everything usb-related from your kernel, and making sure no usb modules are loaded and test again. cheers, Tobias From owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Sat Feb 11 14:40:26 2006 Return-Path: X-Original-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Delivered-To: freebsd-mobile@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 1C67916A420 for ; Sat, 11 Feb 2006 14:40:26 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from nike_d@cytexbg.com) Received: from mail.interbgc.com (mx02.interbgc.com [217.9.224.227]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with SMTP id EE40A43D49 for ; Sat, 11 Feb 2006 14:40:18 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from nike_d@cytexbg.com) Received: (qmail 84878 invoked from network); 11 Feb 2006 14:40:16 -0000 Received: from nike_d@cytexbg.com by keeper.interbgc.com by uid 1002 with qmail-scanner-1.14 (uvscan: v4.2.40/v4374. spamassassin: 2.63.

ATI binary driver for FreeBSD? Is there such thing? Now that would be nice, but there still isn't. Anybody knows of a petition for ATI FreeBSD drivers?

I have a similar problem on my laptop (Fujitsu=20 P2110). Using the acpi_video DPMS patch posted by jhb a while ago=20 helps out quite a lot and allows me to suspend for almost 24 hours=20 vs. about 9. This is still way less than Windows 2000 on the same=20 system which can be suspended for a week with just over 25% power=20 drain. I've tried with a stripped down kernel that is just enough to=20 boot eg. no USB, Firewire, network, etc.do_power_nodriver=3D3 and I=20 still have the same problem. You can try a stripped down kernel test, but I doubt it would solve=20 the problem. If anyone has anymore suggestions I'm sure there are=20 plenty more people that would like to hear them. =2D-=20 Anish Mistry --nextPart1374028.SaXNun9JZ2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBD7mQExqA5ziudZT0RAve2AJ9EVZq74va3FG+mGorUbnU4cY5GMgCfYh9W WOS7GuRkMRkLHyZK0b630gU= =T9ip -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1374028.SaXNun9JZ2--
