Re: AGPGART driver for ArticiaS - ioremap() problem
Hmm, I'm not sure what value agp_bridge-gart_bus_addr should have. The BIOS doesn't setup it and the VIA AGPGART driver even reads it out from the northbridge's registers! Where does the value for agp_bridge-gart_bus_addr come from? For now it is set to 0x0, which would require the modification in drm_vm.c!? Well... this is where you AGP aperture will be in bus space.. you'd rather know what to do with it to do a driver... I'm afraid so. :) :) The driver seems to work better with cant_use_aperture set to 1, so I leave it as it is. BTW: What's the meaning of needs_scratch_page? Well, set to 1 would mean the aperture isn't accessible on the CPU space. It might seem to work better either because indeed that is the case... or simply because you put it in a wrong place (ie 0 !) There must be a chipset register somewhere that tells you where the aperture is no ? I set the AGP aperture base register and agp_bridge-gart_bus_addr to 0x0100 (=16MB) (trial and error :-) and it seems to work with cant_use_aperture=1 (and without the modification in drm_vm.c).

Re: OT: dns zone transfer (was: public key is not available)
His nameserver doesn't need to be broken, your's might very well be. His nameserver refuses to answer a zone transfer request (9 NOAUTH) because it's not authoritative on that zone (that's absolutely correct behaviour). OK I'll take your word for that my DNS is broken, his is not. As I said, I am no DNS guru. I have bind running locally, could that explain it? Your's does answer that request. The funny thing is that among the authoritative nameservers of the pgp.net zone, some answer the zone transfer request and sgme do not (5 REFUSED). I tried $ host -v -l pgp.net and it seems my dns is not queried to do zone transfers $ host -v -l pgp.net Query about pgp.net for record types A NS PTR Finding nameservers for pgp.net ... Query done, 6 answers, status: no error Found 1 address for ns1.pipex.net Found 1 address for procert.cert.dfn.de Found 1 address for auth01.ns.uu.net Found 1 address for dns0.cl.cam.ac.uk Found 1 address for nac.no Found 1 address for ns0.pipex.net Trying server 158.43.192.7 (ns1.pipex.net) ... Asking zone transfer for pgp.net ... Query failed, 0 answers, status: query refused pgp.net AXFR record query refused by ns1.pipex.net Asking SOA record for pgp.net ... Query done, 1 answer, authoritative status: no error [ my comment: host asked ns1.pipex.net for a zone transfer, got none] [ ... other servers in the list above tried, got no answers] If understand things correctly, host does not ask my dns for a zone transfer for pgp.net. So my DNS is not broken. Right - your DNS server cannot know about zone data for pgp.net (only cached parts of it). For zone transfers, it's always one of the authoritative name servers that's asked. Correct default behavior for authoritative name servers is to refuse zone transfers from anyone not local (or even anyone not running a secondary). In this case, where zone transfers are used to publish information about which key servers to contact (according to the documentation even!), the correct behavior would instead be to accept zone queries from anyone. Seems the pgp.net servers are misconfigured. So my DNS is not broken, but why did $ host -l pgp.net | grep www not work for Paul J. Lucas? Because he used host from the bind9-host package while I used host from the host package. Maybe both have different limits on how many servers to try, or even different methods to query for zone data. Either way, the documented way of figuring out key servers does not work reliably, and the documentation should be fixed to suggest a more reliable method (or the pgp.net DNS needs fixing if that's possible; they may have switched off zone queries for a reason).

Re: Thermal control - iMac G5 (information request)
This is definitely not the latest git tree, It doesn't have the patches I wanted you to test. Try 2.6.16-rc1, it does have them. Sorry, I was getting the files from linuxhq.com. Since 2.6.16-rc1 does not build I'm waiting for somebody to tell me if the fix to make it build is the one I posted (adding #include asm/hvcall.h to ./arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c). I've sucessfully built it, but I don't dare to boot the kernel with that modification, however small, before you or another kernel developer for powerpc tells me it's ok to do so.

But in most cases I have problem with scanning for AP. Sometimes iwlist show me AP sometimes no. Any ideas? And I have one question it is posible to use WPA with bcm43xx?

Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
Hi Milan, I am using Airport wireless card on an iBook 12 G4 and I have managed to get bcm43xx driver working both with WEP and WPA, using the default debian kernel. I downloaded the softmac-snapshot and bcm43xx snapshots (Jan 15, 2006 snapshots) and compiled the ieee80211 modules from the softmac-snapshot and use them instead of the ones in the kernel. Giuseppe has a good summary of the procedure we followed to get it working at http://www.fisica.unipa.it/~lavaget/ubuntuae/ I have found that iwlist scanning isn't very reliable. I sometimes have to scan a couple of times before setting the essid using iwconfig or wpa_supplicant. This brings me to my problem... I cannot get an IP address using dhclient... the procedure I follow is modprobe ieee80211_crypt ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211_crypt_tkip ieee80211softmac bcm43xx ifconfig eth1 up iwlist eth1 scan dhclient eth1 When I run dhclient it seems to do an ifconfig eth1 down followed by an ifconfig eth1 up, which means that the iwlist scan results are lost and dhclient keeps searching for the dhcp server. I found that if I let dhclient run on one console and run iwlist eth1 scan in another console then the dhclient immediately is able to get an IP address. So my question is... is there any option that I can pass to dhclient that will disable the up/down of interface if it is already up? Can someone please help?

It needs only one second to get connected. http://svn.berlios.de/wsvn/bcm43xx/branches/dscape/driver/HOWTO?op=filerev=1027sc=1 Bin This brings me to my problem... I cannot get an IP address using dhclient... the procedure I follow is modprobe ieee80211_crypt ieee80211 ieee80211_crypt_wep ieee80211_crypt_ccmp ieee80211_crypt_tkip ieee80211softmac bcm43xx ifconfig eth1 up iwlist eth1 scan dhclient eth1 When I run dhclient it seems to do an ifconfig eth1 down followed by an ifconfig eth1 up, which means that the iwlist scan results are lost and dhclient keeps searching for the dhcp server. I found that if I let dhclient run on one console and run iwlist eth1 scan in another console then the dhclient immediately is able to get an IP address. So my question is... is there any option that I can pass to dhclient that will disable the up/down of interface if it is already up? Can someone please help?

kernel image 2.6.15 sbp2 problem Unknown symbol bus_to_virt
Hi, I am using Debian unstable and recently upgraded the kernel to 2.6.15-1-powerpc65. I noticed that firewire support seems to be broken as my iPod would no longer mount. After googling a little I found that modprobe sbp2 should insert one of the correct module to enable firewire support. Unfortunately this produced the following error message: FATAL: Error inserting sbp2 (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1-powerpc64/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/sbp2.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) Tailing the bottom of dmesg yields: sbp2: Unknown symbol bus_to_virt For the life of me I cannot figure this out, and I have only found one other reference to this problem: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Unknown+symbol+bus_to_virt I tried searching the Debian bug tracker but could not find anything. Does anyone know why this problem is happening, and perhaps more importantly how to fix it? If not, I guess I should follow Sven's advice and file a bug.

Nope... look at drivers/pci/setup-res.c how it does for allocating new resources for PCI devices. (and without the modification in drm_vm.c).

pbbuttonsd beta on new Powerbook5,8
Hi all, For those who didn't notice, pbbuttonsd just got support for the backlit keyboard of the new Powerbooks (post-October 2005). For me it works fine :-) However, I have another problem: it seems that pbbuttonsd can't detect activity. While typing, a short while after resuming from sleep, the display is dimmed down to level 1. Another while later, if I don't stop pbbuttonsd in the mean time, it puts the machine to sleep. All this while I'm typing Can anyone confirm this behaviour? Any fixes available?

Hm, bcm43xx-dscape was the next challenge to take indeed, but pardon me the HOWTO itself look quite intimitating I am going to try it anyway (even just of curiosity!) Shreyas. i coule refer to quite a few fine details about using the driver! For instance, some times I have to repeatedly #ifdown , #ifup the interface to get it working (getting at that time an error that the link is not yet ready) also some times activating the interface via kwifimanager corrects that issue of not recognising the Access Points IP giving an FF:FF instead! What I have ended with is to put the relevant information in my /etc/network/interfaces, which looks like: auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 gateway 192.168.1.7 broadcast 192.168.1.255 wireless-mode managed wireless-essid quadnrg wireless-key xx == where someone of course may change auto to noauto and static to dhcp (and commenting the address, netmask etc) Using this make usually unnecessary the use of iwconfig at all! (and minding that sometimes even the device interface changes say from eth2 to eth1! but most of the times sets to eth1 in my case!) So I think that obviously the state of things regarding Airport is not yet perfect but certainly has improved dramatically!

Re: bcm43xx finally working, with encryption too!!!
I have bcm43xx semi-reliably working on my iBook G4 12. I am using 2.6.15.1 kernel, bcm43xx and softmac snapshots (from 15 Jan 06), some dodgy scripts and IEEE80211 compiled in the kernel as a module. DODGY SCRIPTS - To get the wireless to reliably associate to an AP (with or without WEP) I have a pre-up script that does the following: 1. unload and reload the bcm43xx module 2. ifconfig down and up the interface (it seems to help?!?) 3. Scan until we see the wireless network (this can take several tries) 4. Set the rate to 11M and the ESSID to the local network ESSID. While my script is some overly complicated perl that tries to find one of my preferred networks here is what it would look like as simple bourne shell script (last two lines optional depending on network and use as pre-up script or standalone script): START SCRIPT #!/bin/sh modprobe -r bcm43xx modprobe bcm43xx ifrename # Needed because I rename the interface to bcm0 INTERFACE=`iwconfig 21 | fgrep broadcom 4318 | cut -f1 -d ` ifconfig $INTERFACE down ifconfig $INTERFACE up ESSID= while [ -z $ESSID ] do ESSID=`iwlist $INTERFACE scan | fgrep ESSID | cut -f2 -d''` sleep 1 done iwconfig $INTERFACE rate 11M iwconfig $INTERFACE essid $ESSID #iwconfig $INTERFACE key 0a1b2c3d4e #dhclient $INTERFACE END OF SCRIPT Shreyas Ananthan wrote: Bin Zhang [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: snip...

Powerbook5,8: function keys not working
Hello all, On my Powerbook5,8 (post-October Aluminum), I have a problem with the special keys overloaded on the F keys. I have Michael's patch (http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/linuxppc/patch?id=3856) applied to the kernel, but none of the keys seems to produce any special action. pbbuttonsd listens for those keys and should run the special actions, but it doesn't. Fn + cursor keys do produce the expected acion, i.e page up/down and home/end. The power key works also. In default config, Fn+Fx (eg. Fn+F1) do produce different keycodes. But it seems the Fn-ified keycode is not what it should be. showkey on the console has this to say (down + up events): F1: 0x3b 0xbb Fn + F1: 0x00 0x81 0xe0 0x80 0x00 0xe0 As you can se, with fn, I get six bytes instead of two. The last byte of each block of three does represent the keycode I'm looking for: 0xe0 or 224 for fn+F1. What am I missing here? Also note that I ave no sound compiled in, which pbbuttonsd notices on startup, and that the three sound-related keys do produce the expected keycodes 113-115. eject, though not dependant on fn, also produces a three-byte sequence in showkeys, and indeed does not work.
