iwm updates from dfbsd; AR9462/QCA9565 bluetooth coex updates
hi! Cool! Do you have a blinking LED for wifi? :) -a No, this laptop has only three on/off leds and none for the Wi-Fi. I’ve make another crude test to compare iwm performance under FreeBSD and Windows 10: I often extend domestic Wi-Fi range with a second router connected to the first one through an Ethernet cable. This allows me to work in the garden with Windows 10 at about 15 meters from the router with a decent wireless throughput. With FreeBSD, I’d say that wireless stability is not enough over 10 meters. Nevertheless, as with Windows 10, if I lose the connection I can move around and find a good spot and in seconds the connection comes back again without intervention on my side. That said, this card is less performant in Windows than the Intel PRO (iwn) which comes with an older HP 6730b laptop: lesser SSIDs are found and it seems more difficult to keep connected with weaker ones. An even older Marvell PCI (malo) works almost better… So big kudos to FreeBSD devs for getting that card behave so nicely!

iwm updates from dfbsd; AR9462/QCA9565 bluetooth coex updates
hi! Firstly - I've just merged in some fixes from dragonflybsd via the maintainer there, Imre Vadasz. He's been pushing patches to me against -HEAD to commit. Thanks! I'd like those tested, so if you're using iwm please test them out and let me know. Hi Adrian and thanks again for your work. My user profile is not very interesting, since I’m not using my FreeBSD laptop outside home and not very intensively (i.e. no roaming, no heavy network use), but I’ve been nevertheless using iwm with a 7260 since day one without issues. I’ve just rebuilt the kernel with your changes and made some quick tests: pkg upgrade, ssh sessions over the local network, downloaded a few big files over HTTP and FTP… all without seeing a difference. By the way: iwm0: mem 0xf050-0xf0501fff at device 0.0 on pci3 If you can suggest some specific tests you’d like to see done, I’m willing to help.

iwm updates from dfbsd; AR9462/QCA9565 bluetooth coex updates
hi! Firstly - I've just merged in some fixes from dragonflybsd via the maintainer there, Imre Vadasz. He's been pushing patches to me against -HEAD to commit. Thanks! I'd like those tested, so if you're using iwm please test them out and let me know. Secondly - I've done some initial work to bring up bluetooth coexistence in a slightly more develop-able way on the AR9462/QCA9565 parts. To use it, you need to set the hint 'ath.0.btcoex_profile' to your NIC - AR9462 is 'wb222', and QCA9565 is 'wb335'. This has to be done before the driver is loaded and it'll log that it's enabling BTCOEX. It's not enough to do full coexistence, but it implements the hardware handshake bits that allow us to implement more complete coexistence later. Third - I'd like to commit the new ath3kfw tool sometime in the next couple of days to -HEAD. I'd like some more testing first - github.com/erikarn/ath3k/ Last - I broke IBSS/Adhoc again. Andriy pointed it out to me. We'll go figure out what to do there to fix it in the future and try to land that before the tree freezes.
