-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi -
As I explain in this bug https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1684 Atheros told me the best way to get WLAN recognized after it has been powered down was to rmmod and re-modprobe the modules either side of the change of power status. Right now, the modules are all built-in on our configs. I meddled about with it for a while couple of weeks ago and couldn't get it to rescan and discover the WLAN after power down either, so I think we have to move to modules now for Atheros SDIO and WLAN driver bits. The other guy on the bug xbaldauf points out that changing this would be good for him in another way, since he gets hit by either driver or firmware bugs to do with association that he currently has to reboot to clear. So we will need a couple of things somehow on userspace side for it to work... ~ - ifup script or whatever it is we use should power WLAN using a new /sys that can come when we get this straight, then modprobe the modules in. ~ - ifdown script or similar should ifconfig down it, rmmod the modules, then turn the WLAN module off uing the /sys thing again ...how are we set for making these changes on userspace side (be it Openmoko or Debian or whatever), or is there a better way to come at it? - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAki36vQACgkQOjLpvpq7dMr0AACfU2RPWEMwt9JUpDenl78mCdeQ 62cAn2bp7Xj04Kibg+usZvsjadgvOWmo =2N+j -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
