Yes, that's why it should at least only be set if DMA is used.
We could also make it depend on specific PCI IDs, but I'm not sure how big the

Ok -- Some more details about my experience that it appears to be slow.
As a test I've transfered a couple of 100 Mbyte files  via NFS to my
desktop.

I don't know much about the overhead it has but if wlan0 tells me
I have a 11MBit connection a throughput of at least 500kbyte/s should
be possible and I'm far away from this. It also appeared that the 
transfer freezes for a couple of seconds ( I had a look at the file
sizes on the recipient side in second intervals). Nothing
suspicious in dmesg or syslog though.

This of course is a very crude analysis, but if someone can point me
to better tools to check for data throughput and connection stability
I'll be happy to check in more detail.

[PATCH RFC] ssb: Generic SPROM override for devices without SPROM

2009-11-20 Thread Michael Buesch
This patch adds a generic mechanism for overriding the SPROM mechanism
on devices without SPROM hardware.

There currently is a major problem with this:
It tries to deduce a MAC address from various hardware parameters. But
currently it will result in the same MAC address for machines of the same
type. Does somebody have an idea of some device-instance specific serial
number or something similar that could be hashed into the MAC?

 Ok, so for BCM63xx I would no longer have to declare my SPROM, fine.

No you still need to do that. The sprom is device specific.
You need to call ssb_register_sprom_override() from the arch code with
that callback that sets up your sprom image.

Missing deep sleep is bad.  At the very least you need to limit that

by-id has the disadvantage that it changes with the means of accessing 
the disk, namely if your driver uses the old (obsolete) ide API or is a new
libata driver.

Technically only by-uuid is relatively guaranteed to be stable (unless a 
partition gets cloned with dd), with by-label coming close (only bad if 
any disk or USB storage device duplicates an existing label, like root).

 Ok, I think this is getting ugly :)
 The problem with all this is that if you change the harddisk, or change the 
 partitioning,
 the wireless mac address would change. That would surely lead to confusion.

 I think we probably have to drop this patch and instead do a mechanism that
 fetches the sprom from userspace, if the card doesn't have one. This way we
 can have a script in userspace that generates the image based on the PCI ID
 information and just randomizes the MAC address once. The firmware loading
 mechanism would be useful for that.
 In case of an embedded device with the MAC in the nvram, the kernel can still
 override the mac address provided by userspace.

  At least on my Acer One D250 dmidecode provides a mainboard
UUID.

Perhaps we could have fwcutter generate pseudo-SPROM contents for the necessary
revisions and write them to /lib/firmware/b43 with randomized MAC. In fact, one
might only want to randomize the serial number part. That way ethereal would get
the vendor right.

 At present, the results of an SSB core scan are only logged when
 CONFIG_SSB_DEBUG is y. As this may not be set in a distro kernel,
 it is difficult interpret many problems posted in bug reports or in
 help forums.

 One last check. I would appreciate receiving answers to the following
 questions. These questions apply to anyone else with this problem.
 
 Does the pm_qos patch help your fatal DMA error problem,
 particularly when booted from power-off?
 
 If you warm-boot after loading the wl driver, does the patch make any
 difference?

What's the date/time of the last patch you posted for this and what
kernel does it apply to?

Chris

Can somebody give me a genuine SPROM image for an LP-PHY card, please?
Just do this:
sudo cat $(find /sys/devices -name ssb_sprom)  ssb_sprom_copy


Does this help?
