(nobody has ever measured just how much it is harming performance on such systems, so I'm only guessing) You should definitely be running a newer kernel though. And testing the latest might not be all that worthwhile as we can still overflow the device buffers quite easily. In 2.6.25-rc1 we will have switched to mac80211 with more buffer control, which will probably help.

In the ieee80211_copy_snap() function in ieee80211_tx.c, the data pointer lands on odd address. Later when ethertype is assigned, one byte is chopped off. That is why 0x06 is in the place of 0x08. Nice find. I was not even aware that such code could cause problems on some architectures. However, I now face a bunch of frame errors on the receiving, which seems to suggest I have similar unaligned access problems on the receving side. More debugging. Don't spend too much time on this, because we are very likely ditching ieee80211 and switching to mac80211 for 2.6.25. Instead, spend time testing/fixing mac80211 instead. You need to use git to clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-2.6.git and then switch to the everything branch (git checkout everything). Nevertheless, if you have got things working on ieee80211 there is still time for me to submit patches for 2.6.24. Daniel - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [zd1211-devs] Problem with new Abocom WUG2690
Hi Tom, Atheros supposedly contacted Abocom about this to make sure that Abocom stop using 07b8:6001 for ZD1211B devices (this has historically been a ZD1211 ID). We still don't have a way of determining whether a device is ZD1211 or ZD1211B before firmware load time, except for USB ID, which in your case is not reliable. There is another option now: you can use the freshly-released zd1211memtool to change the USB ID of the device, which is stored in the EEPROM and flashable over the usual USB interface. http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129083package_id=238745 For your ZD1211B devices that have the 07b8:6001 ID, you would do: ./zd1211memtool --action=e2pmodify --device=zd1211b \ --usbvid=07b8 --usbpid=6001 \ --modify-vid=0ace --modify-pid=1215 Be aware that reprogramming EEPROM is a dangerous action. It seems to work for me though. As usual we're using undocumented registers to copy from device RAM to device ROM, but this time the consequences of a mistake would be more serious... I suggest you use the e2pdump action to backup your EEPROM first, just in case. There is currently no way to restore the EEPROM from a backup but if required it could be added relatively easily.

Hi daniel,
I had tried to use the vendor driver and it worked with zd1211b.
So i modify the line in the kernel:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0cde, 0x001a), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B }
and it has worked fine also in monitor mode.
Great!
Please provide the chip ID so that we can add it to the driver:
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/zd1211rw/AddID
Please also tell us the manufacturer of the device and the product name,
so that I can confirm it is a ZD1211B.
I saw the vendor kernel say (during the boot) :
kernel: [ 1298.836000] Finsih download Firmware. Ready to reboot
kernel: [ 1298.836000] zd1211:FIRMWARE_CONFIRM = 1
kernel: [ 1298.836000] zd1211:USB Download Boot code success
Perhaps the vendor dirver unlock some firmware lock ???
We do the same as the vendor driver -- zd1211rw is a rewrite.

Bear in mind that zd1211rw does not support master mode or ad-hoc mode (i.e. cannot host a network without an AP). For simple AP client (managed) mode it works very well. I'm guessing no one has tested wpa2 or peap authentication If not I'll gladly let you all know how it works. I believe they have been tested. This stuff is all handled outside the driver.

Thanks for testing. AL2230S support was added in 2.6.22-rc1, however
your device identifies itself differently from my AL2230S device.
Please try this driver:

I could provide a kernel patch instead, but that would require you to
upgrade to 2.6.22-rc2 first... I think the above driver will still

[zd1211-devs] Vendor driver release 2.18.0.0
This release is almost entirely only changes to zydas own driver architecture (debug support etc) and some fixes for hardware encryption/decryption -- in other words, no fixes that we can move directly into zd1211rw just yet. Nevertheless, I'm sure people are interested, so here it is: http://dsd.object4.net/zd1211-vendor/releases/ZD1211LnxDrv_2_18_0_0.tar.gz http://dsd.object4.net/zd1211-vendor/ChangeLog.txt This driver is unsupported by me -- it probably doesn't compile on recent kernels, as usual. If you need support, ask on the list and hope that someone responds. Please don't email me directly (I won't reply). I can't update the wiki yet as I don't have access. Hopefully mayne will fix this soon (my sourceforge username is dsd_).

[zd1211-devs] UW2453 vs AL2230S
I ran some tests to compare the performance of the UW2453 and AL2230S RF chips. My tests were downloading a 36mb file over the internet from a fast host (HTTP). When repeating the tests, I unloaded the module, replugged the device, and loaded the module again inbetween each test. I made sure not to change the location or orientation of the device, etc. I measured the average transfer rate of the download using wget, and the number of failed transmissions by counting the retry_failed interrupts. It may sound odd to count failed transmissions in a download test but keep reading anyway... I used the vendor driver in all tests as this is our baseline for performance. I repeated some tests after using zd1211rw and found similar results. zydas 2.16.0.0 + UW2453: 1. 1051 fails, 816kb/sec 2. 1799 fails, 643kb/sec 3. 2186 fails, 381kb/sec zydas 2.16.0.0 + AL2230S: 1. 0 fails, 1020kb/sec 2. 0 fails, 1009kb/sec 2. 0 fails, 1018kb/sec Conclusion: UW2453 sucks: even when not transmitting anything other than HTTP control and TCP ACKs, there were thousands of failed transmissions and the transfer rate suffered.

[zd1211-devs] UW2453: more tests
Further UW2453 testing: My tests were downloading a 36mb file over the internet from a fast host (HTTP). When repeating the tests, I unloaded the module, replugged the device, and loaded the module again inbetween each test. I made sure not to change the location or orientation of the device, etc. I measured the average transfer rate of the download using wget, and the number of failed transmissions by counting the retry_failed interrupts. It may sound odd to count failed transmissions in a download test but keep reading anyway... First comparison: zd1211rw vs vendor driver. In all cases the PLL locked onto table 5, so table 6 was used for radio programming. zd1211rw: 1. 120 fails, 773kb/sec 2. 313 fails, 593kb/sec 3. 659 fails, 602kb/sec zydas 2.16.0.0: 1. 1051 fails, 816kb/sec 2. 1799 fails, 643kb/sec 3. 2186 fails, 381kb/sec There may be some heat-related issues here: all the numbers steadily increase with time. Further testing showed that they decrease after a while, then increase again, etc. I repeated the test from cold with the vendor driver first, and found the opposite results (the vendor driver from cold had a few hundred fails, then zd1211rw from warm had thousands of fails). Second comparison: calibrating the radio on channel 1 (the hard-coded default) vs calibrating the radio on channel 11 (the channel where my network is running). All tests done with zd1211rw. calibrated on channel 1 (PLL locked on table 5): 1. 120 fails, 773kb/sec 2. 313 fails, 593kb/sec 3. 659 fails, 602kb/sec calibrated on channel 11 (PLL locked on table 4): 1. 2545 fails, 486kb/sec 2. 2572 fails, 487kb/sec 3. 2334 fails, 513kb/sec The 2nd set of results were consistent even from cold -- calibrating the radio on channel 11 produced ~2500 failures for each test. This is a shame because one obvious way of attempting to fix calibration problems would be to recalibrate the radio on the target channel, but this test indicates it doesn't improve anything... Third comparison: calibrating on channel 1 vs using autocal autocal is used when the PLL doesn't lock on any RF configuration tables. I though I'd try it as the other RFs work like this - a one size fits all radio programming scheme. (I don't actually know that autocal is designed to work like this, I'm just speculating based on its name) Results were not pretty: couldn't test anything as when programmed with autocal values, I get no scan results so can't even associate. Same results with the vendor driver. Conclusion: zd1211rw is no better/worse than vendor driver with the UW2453 RF (they both perform badly), and my 2 initial guesses at finding ways to improve reception/transmission success rate have failed miserably.

Re: [zd1211-devs] Super huge ping with zd1211rw_mac80211
Interesting. Some more questions: Are the ping times really high all the time, or is it just some/most of the time? One significant difference between the 2 drivers is that softmac defaults to 11M or 24M (depending on your kernel version) and doesn't change, whereas mac80211 defaults to 54M and dynamically adjusts based on number of failed transmissions. So, ideally you should try and compare the rates being used in the 2 drivers. To read the rate used on the softmac driver, run iwconfig. I don't think mac80211 reports the rate there yet, so you will probably have to enable some debugging options in the kernel and watch the logs to figure out which rates it is choosing. Another experiment: on the softmac driver, increase the rate to 54M and examine if your ping times become noticably worse: iwconfig ethX rate 54M Thanks, Daniel - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

[zd1211-devs] AL2230S support
I've added AL2230S support to zd1211rw and it is working nicely. Here are the patches needed for mainline Linux: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdevm=117364295601764q=raw http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdevm=117364295516100q=raw (you need both, applied in that order) Due to the feature freeze on the linux kernel, AL2230S support will not be included in Linux 2.6.21. 2.6.21 (and probably Linux 2.6.20.4) will include the first patch, which will make the current driver reject AL2230S devices. Right now it detects them as AL2230 and doesn't work correctly but it's not obvious why. 2.6.22 will include the whole thing. Here is the patch for zd1211rw-mac80211 (previously known as devicescape/d80211): http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdevm=117364111819377q=raw (you only need the one patch with that tree) The vendor driver hacks around a bit and explicitly detects AL2230 and AL2230S as different RF codes. However, the way it is actually implemented (which is what zd1211rw respects) is that AL2230S is the same as AL2230 with an extra flag (this is why the misdetection was happening). After applying the above patches, this flag can be seen at the end of the chip ID line, the 5th flag character is 'S' for AL2230S and '-' for otherwise. Here is the chip ID for my AL2230S device: zd1211b chip 0ace:1215 v4810 high 00-02-72 AL2230_RF pa0 g--NS And for my AL2230: zd1211b chip 0ace:1215 v4810 high 00-02-72 AL2230_RF pa0 g--N- UW2453 support coming soon.

Not sure where the frequency request came from then - I just set the essid and key for it. I was trying to use simple WEP. Nope - those messages come from iwconfig. The driver (well, the stack) does find the channel automatically, which is why you aren't allowed to do it through iwconfig. It's more sensible to use wpa_supplicant to handle your network configuration (even for open/WEP) but I still advise getting it going manually first. Let me know if it would be useful to work on this further. To be honest I was more interested in whether this device worked as I don't really need it too much just yet. I can turn WEP off on that access point if it helps, I also have my real access point using WPA2 which I could test if this gets working later but I didn't want to complicate it too much just yet. Next step would be to try the vendor driver with your existing setup. That way you find out if it is AL2230S or not, and also whether the vendor driver works with your AP (our code is based off that, so if it works then at least we have something to work from).

[zd1211-devs] UW2453 RF devices spotted in the wild
Hi, A user came on IRC with a UW2453 ZD1211 device. This is the first instance that I've seen one of these RF chips. Then later today there was a mail to this list from someone else. ZyDAS confirmed that currently their major models are UW2453 and AL2230S, neither of which are supported by zd1211rw (yet). Hopefully this means continued production of zd1211 devices coming to market. I'm going to try and get my hands on that UW2453 device, but am still looking for an AL2230S source. Note that zd1211rw appears to detect the AL2230S as AL2230, so if you have purchased recently you might want to check your RF with the vendor driver. Here is an unsupported patch to get zd1211 2.16.0.0 working on 2.6.19: http://dev.gentoo.org/~dsd/misc/zd1211-2_16_0_0-2.6.19.patch Daniel - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Re: [zd1211-devs] gigafast usb dongle and shielding
Andy Green wrote: I think in managed mode the firmware in the stick insists that valid packets are marked up with either the AP or your MAC address, or some similar strict regime. I have also seen in monitor mode nearby transmissions on different channels (!) turning up on another channel intermittently, This is normal and happens on almost all consumer 802.11 hardware (i.e. devices with inexpensive radios). It's related to both physical proximity of the monitoring device to the transmitting one, and also due to the 'resolution' of the radio and the fact that (e.g.) channel 3 is right next to channel 4 in the spectrum and the radio isn't quite good enough to distinguish between them 100% of the time.

Jon Smirl wrote: If could be that these noise packets are being received in Managed mode and the firmware is eliminating them. Yes -- Andy Green pointed this out earlier today and he is entirely correct. This behaviour is expected. I think in this case the filtering is done in hardware, as opposed to firmware.

Re: [zd1211-devs] zd1211rw issue with scanning/ifup sequence?
Pekka Savola wrote: Also, if I manually do 'ifconfig eth1 up' before ESSID is set, it'll work without problem. This is a distro bug - it should bring the interface up before using it. Many drivers require the interface to be up before scanning is possible, since for a lot of hardware, scanning is just transmission and reception of frames so requires the entire MAC layer to be activated just the same as if you were transmitting/receiving data.

Re: [zd1211-devs] zd1211rw: not changing APs automatically?
Pekka Savola wrote: I started with AP 1, then moved (with the WLAN interface enabled, only 30 meters) next to another AP 2. AP 1 is still heard with ~20/100 Link quality and ~15/100 Signal level. The driver doesn't seem to switch to using the new AP. I'd expect this to happen automatically. Should this work or is this a missing feature?

[zd1211-devs] Reboot/replug issues might be fixed
I haven't seen the replug issues in a while, but previously had them quite a bit with my ZD1211B. I'm running (near enough) 2.6.20-rc6 with the following patch added: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdevm=117003239100898q=raw Earlier testing shows that the above patch alone wasn't enough, but for some reason the problem has now disappeared. Maybe something changed in the USB core. I'd be interested to hear results from other people running this configuration. Daniel - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
