https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469038 Summary: iwl3945 causing syslog errors related to LED lights Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jrobiso2@ford.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-2.5 Firefox/3.0.5 My syslog shows the following: kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:radio kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:assoc kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:RX kernel: Registered led device: iwl-phy0:TX which is all well and good. However, right away these start showing up in syslogs: "iwl3945: Error sending REPLY_LEDS_CMD: iwl3945_enqueue_hcmd failed: -28 iwl3945: No space for Tx" cat /sys/class/leds/iwl*assoc/trigger shows: none ide-disk AC-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full phy1rx phy1tx [phy1assoc] phy1radio rfkill1 Because I absolutely HATE the LED light blinking in my face over and over again, I figured out (with help) to echo "none" > /sys/class/leds/iwl-*:assoc/trigger. Note that echo'ing "none" to any of the other 4 trigger files did not stop the blinking - only the assoc trigger did. Now cat on the trigger file shows: [none] ide-disk AC-online BAT0-charging-or-full BAT0-charging BAT0-full phy1rx phy1tx phy1assoc phy1radio rfkill1 Anyhow, as soon as I did that (and made it permanent by adding it to the wireless startup scripts) the REPLY_LEDS_CMD errors stopped happening. Please recall that with the old ipw driver (10.X), the led would be off if there was no connection, blinking while making a connection, and solid once the connection was made. In 11.0 we had no led at all. Now, in 11.1, the led blinked all the time, even after the connection was established. My bug for that (# 462967) was made INVALID because supposedly it is supposed to blink like that. I think it should work like it used to - blink only while establishing the connection. So, here's the rub: Could the blinking actually have been caused by the error in the system's attempts to send LEDS_CMDs, and can we fix whatever is causing that error? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. buy a laptop with an Intel 3945 wireless 2. connect with Network Manager 3. Watch the pretty blinking led -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, these logs are from after upgrading the firmware to the latest from Intel - the iwlwifi-3945-2.ucode (vice the -1.ucode).

That ucode won't work with 2.6.27 shipped with 11.1. Only API-version 1 ucodes are supported. However, could you please enable wpa_supplicant debugging (see [1]) and attach /var/log/wpa_supplicant again with full debug output? I wasn't able to reproduce the problem here.

You may put the firmware there but please don't link .1 to .2 as these are different API versions and might cause real harm then. If the driver is able to use API version 2 it will just pick the .2 file and otherwise the .1. So you can put both versions there and the driver will pick the one it supports. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I assume this is only a bug in NetworkManager when dealing with hidden networks. Hence reassigning to Tambet. Tambet, NM triggers a scan every once in a while. As this scan is a broadcast scan it will not find the hidden AP and NM thinks the AP is gone. After that wpa_supplicant also thinks the AP is gone and triggers a ssid scan which finds the AP again. I'm not sure but maybe something like below might fix this issue. diff --git a/src/nm-device-wifi.c b/src/nm-device-wifi.c index 0e8555e..b0c4e75 100644 --- a/src/nm-device-wifi.c +++ b/src/nm-device-wifi.c @@ -809,7 +809,7 @@ periodic_update (NMDeviceWifi *self) NMAccessPoint *new_ap; guint32 new_rate; - new_ap = get_active_ap (self, NULL, FALSE); + new_ap = get_active_ap (self, NULL, TRUE); if (new_ap) nm_device_wifi_update_signal_strength (self, new_ap); -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I presume that the videos are streamed using UDP (why waste TCP acks on streams?) if that matters. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469038 User hschaa@novell.com added comment https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469038#c24 --- Comment #24 from Helmut Schaa 2009-01-30 01:23:26 MST --- Thanks Jonathon. Tambet, comment #22 shows that NetworkManager prints the roaming messages in sync with receiving the scan results but the driver does not send any associate/disassociate events. Hence I guess this is an NM issue, maybe related to hidden APs. However comment #23 shows that the supplicant is not able to successfully complete the 4-way handshake and therefore disassociates and reassociates with the AP. Jonathon, if this behavior is reproducible could you please open a new bug report for that? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I've got half a mind to do an install on another hard drive on the same laptop and see how it behaves with a fresh clean install. The laptop has been repeatedly upgraded since around 10.1, I believe. And considering the amount of hand-edits that have been required (things like manually setting model=dell-m22 in the modprobe/sound file, and hand edits of hal xml files), sometimes I wonder if I can trust the OS not to run away screaming. I'll update the bug this evening or tomorrow. Have a good weekend. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Running KDE4 only (although by default, some kde3 apps, like knetworkmanager, were installed). The issue of "Roam" items in /var/log/NetworkManager does not exist. While I have not yet changed wpa_supplicant to use -dddt, so far it looks better. Note that I do still have (every minute or so) moments when the network "burps" and I have to wait a moment before a web page will load, or a download will start. Very noticeable when doing zypper installs from cli - often the initial attempt to connect to the source will fail, but re-issuing the command works. I will get back to you this evening with results from -dddt on wpa_supplicant. Initial complaint regarding "das blinken lights" still exists. Bloody annoying! I want the old light style back! Blink for initial connection, then stay solid unless you actually LOSE connection and need to re-connect. On a side note, KDE 4.2 (updated from the KDE repo) appears a little more solid than 4.1, but is still a pain to configure, and only God knows what they were thinking with that NetworkManager "widget" instead of knetworkmanager. Solid thinking on openSuSE's part to default to kde3 networkmanager programs even for a KDE4 install. Good job guys. :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
