Do you have the Qualcomm contact info? At least we might get a release of the source code for the 062 driver used in the SB.
Qualcomm might have some idea of how to prevent the fundamental problem, the radio's apparent loss of reception,* which likely involves their proprietary firmware code. With their cooperation, the radio's reception could be improved to become fully functional in the current environment. I should say the other utilities when compiled from the 063 build seem to work fine on the SB, just the kernel driver ar6000l.ko is not working, as it is lacking a few AR6002 specific functions. I was getting it to work, but put it aside for a "simple update" to the mitigation script that got out of hand with new requirements, formerly edge cases to handle, and ever improving diagnostic reporting. Hope to get back to the driver soon. Even so, it may be that any improvement in the driver will be from quick mitigation, and not from improving the radio's basic reception, which would leave the radio's ping times still high, and excessive wireless traffic. The link from the Nintendo DSi site to the source for the 018 code, was very helpful for including AR6002 support back into the 063 build. * The radios fail to acknowledge initial transmissions to them the access point, leading to repeated transmissions, both from the access point to the radio, and vice versa (because the radio does not receive the AP's ack). The multiple transmissions cause something to "go awry" somewhere in the radio, and it loses the connection. This is made worse by low signal levels, although radios enjoying high signal levels (> -50 dBm) are not immune to disconnection. The signal level plays a huge role in how quickly the system can acquire or renew an IP address. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ POMdev's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70558 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
