Re: [PATCH RFT] b43: We need lots of regression testing

2008-04-05 Thread Artem Antonov
I've tested it with BCM4318 (ASUS WL500-gP). When I run hostapd - it seems to hang the system (100% CPU load) but also this patch seems to fix this bug: https://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/bcm43xx-dev/2008-March/007021.html ___ Bcm43xx-dev mailing list

Another unrelated bug (sorry, testing often finds unrelated bugs) is that scanning with specific ESSID was returning non-matching APs. I mean iwlist wlan0 scan my_essid, which would still report many different ESSIDs. It's inconvenient when the driver can sense 22 APs at once :) Heh. I'm

I had a case of total disassociation last night, and it is unusual. NM was unable to reconnect (so we go to bash). A scan revealed no APs but after a module reload they are back... What further testing or other diagnostics can I run should this happen again to rest? Thanks E [EMAIL PROTECTED]

2008-04-05 Thread Michael Buesch
This patch is _not_ supposed to go upstream, yet. I just like to have it in -mm to get more testing. This patch is supposed to distribute the calibration bursts over time, so that calibration only happens when it's actually needed. So instead of disabling the MAC every 120 secs and recalibrating

2008-04-05 Thread Larry Finger
The calculation of TX power has recently been improved in b43. This patch implements those improvements in b43legacy. With this patch, the estimated power out calculation becomes quite stable. After the initial settling, the estimate varies by 0.25 dBm, or less. This patch is meant to apply to
