Bug#550534: firmware-iwlwifi: iwlagn 0000:03:00.0: Microcode SW error detected., Restarting 0x82000000.

2010-01-18 Thread Joachim Krais

Hi everyone,

I have the same problems, too. Debian squeeze runs on a Lenovo R61 with 
the following WLAN-NIC:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or 
AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61)


uname -a
Linux NBOOK 2.6.30-2-686 #1 SMP Fri Dec 4 00:53:20 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11abgn  ESSID:tztztz
  Mode:Managed  Frequency:2.462 GHz  Access Point: xyzyzy
  Bit Rate=54 Mb/s   Tx-Power=15 dBm
  Retry min limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
  Encryption key:blablabla
  Power Management:off
  Link Quality=70/70  Signal level=-27 dBm  Noise level=-96 dBm
  Rx invalid nwid:0  Rx invalid crypt:0  Rx invalid frag:0
  Tx excessive retries:0  Invalid misc:0   Missed beacon:0

The WLAN-connection is secured with WPA-PSK.

Before a new installation with squeeze I have used Debian stable with 
the default packages of the stable-branch. (firmware-iwlwifi-0.14). This 
installation runs daily without any problems about one year. About that 
past 12 months I have never lost the WLAN-connection.


But after I have made a complete new installation with a 
squeeze-installation-CD the problem occurs. The problem couldn' t be 
reconstruct for example with more sessions at the same time or full 
bandwith downloads. Sending a kind of keep-alive by a ping to my 
access-point in a cronjob every minute doesn't fix the problem.


I have made a downgrade and a upgrade to firmware-iwlwifi-0.14 
(lenny) or firmware-iwlwifi-017 (0.17~bpo50+1_all) and 
firmware-iwlwifi-0.22 (sid) but unfortunately without any positive 
improvements.


I think its rather a combination with and the firmware-iwlwifi (0.18) 
linux-image-2.6.30-2-686 (6.30-8squeeze1) packages.



Greetings

Bug#487843: proftpd missing : after PID in the Logfile

2008-06-24 Thread Joachim Krais

Package: proftpd
Version: 1.3.0-19


When proftpd protocols events in the logfile for example: 
/var/log/proftpd.log, the : isn't printed after the pid.


Logfile:

Jun 24 15:29:21 SERVER proftpd[28374] SERVER

It should be:
Jun 24 15:29:21 SERVER proftpd[28374]: SERVER


Reason:
I analyze automatically the proftpd-Logfile and the scanner doesn't work
because he needs the : after the PID.

Thanks a lot
Joachim Krais

Bug#451230: linux-image-2.6-s390 / qeth - HSI-interface doesn't come up after reboot

2007-11-15 Thread Joachim Krais

severity 451230 normal
tags 451230 moreinfo

s390 never had automatic setup of devices. Please show your
configuration. The debian installer sets up a configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/hardware which lists all hardware devices which are used
during the installation.

Our HSI-NIC is integrated in the path /etc/sysconfig/hardware with
config-ccw-0.0.0800. The only content in this file is:

CCWGROUP_CHANS=(0.0.0800 0.0.0801 0.0.0802)

Is this correct that the file has only one line?

Excursion:
==
Sorry, we didn't describe our environment sufficiently.
We running our Linux servers under Z/VM in different LPARs. The NICs and 
other hardware (DASDs) are defined in Z/VM for every guest (Linux). The 
physical hardware adapters so are mapped in virtual addresses. We aren't 
running Linux natively on a LPAR. We use these Linux-servers in a 
productive environment. At maintenance work (for example by a power on 
reset) we load the Linux guests from one LPAR (which will be maintained) 
to another LPAR. So we have the need that it works well. In SLES9 the 
HSI-NIC comes up while rebooting the linux-server by IPL from the Z/VM 
an we have our network connectivity. But we aren't happy about SLES10 
and so we are looking for an alternative distribution.

Bug#451224: linux-kernel-headers: qeth - HSI-interface doesn't come up after reboot

2007-11-14 Thread Joachim Krais

Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18
Severity: grave


Hello together,

we downloaded Debian4.0 and Debian4.0R1 and detected a bug with the
network-interface. This bug exists in both releases.
We use it on zSeries [architecture is s390].


The problem:

If we reboot the system, the HSI network-interface won't automatically
come up. We have to set them up manually in z/VM with
echo 1 /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/VIRTUAL_ADR_OF_DEVICE/online
and modify the default-route, IP-address of the network-interface and
reload the ssh daemon. Now we can connect again with putty.


Our solution is a workaround:
=
We append /etc/init.d/network with the echo command at following
position:
### END INIT INFO

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

### Our workaround
echo 1  /sys/bus/ccwgroup/drivers/qeth/VIRTUAL_ADR_OF_DEVICE/online

[ -x /sbin/ifup ] || exit 0

Now the qeth Device comes up at (re)boot automatically and
we can connect with putty to the server.


Our question:
=
Is it possible to fix this problem? We use a lot of z/Linux servers with
more than one network-interface and our workaround is not very efficient :-)

Thanks a lot!
Joachim Krais
