I'd like to get ath10k ready to put into the tree but there are a couple of net80211 and driver holes that need patching for these newer firmware NICs. (Around node creation/deletion, crypto key updates, sending frames, etc - net80211 assumes they're all non-blocking operations but that's definitely not true for the majority of hardware now shipping.) -a ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I’ll summarise > the current state for everyone in a week or two. I've recently finished upgrading Haiku to FreeBSD 12 net80211 and drivers. I don't have any major plans at the moment personally, but some things you might want to note: * there are a variety of iwm patches available in DragonFlyBSD that haven't yet been merged into FreeBSD * general driver stability issues, iwn/ath/iwm at least (mostly failures to initialize on hardware that is theoretically supported, or other general timing issues) * use-after-free panics in certain scenarios (it seems some of these should be caught by INVARIANTS, but I've only reproduced them on Haiku, not on FreeBSD) Additionally, if you want to keep an eye on Haiku's bugtracker, you can use this query to see tickets reported just in the "network drivers" category: https://dev.haiku-os.org/query?status=assigned=in-progress=new=reopened=bug=%5EDrivers%2FNetwork=id=summary=status=owner=type=priority=milestone=1=id -waddlesplash ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
Re: wireless coordination and who's working on what?
Hi all, I am working on another project which might be a few months, but would be interested in picking up a driver that is of lower priority. Ashish, I have two (maybe 3) of those cards from different vendors. I would not mind testing any code you produce. -- Farhan Khan PGP Fingerprint: B28D 2726 E2BC A97E 3854 5ABE 9A9F 00BC D525 16EE On Tue, Jan 8, 2019 at 2:29 PM Adrian Chadd wrote: > > Hi! > > If you can put some code up then we can poke at it together and see how to > get the firmware load and USB framework bits into if_ath(4). > > You don't want to load it via userland; you really want the driver to load > it at attach time and if it wants to power things fully down off or not. > (You can do a reset command over USB to reset the chip back to "wait for > firmware" which is nice for things like low power modes.) > > > -a > > > On Tue, 8 Jan 2019 at 02:12, Ashish Gupta wrote: > > > Hi, > > > > I'm trying to add USB glue to the ath driver in order to support Atheros > > USB cards (I'm working with the AR9271 chip specifically). > > > > The code for downloading firmware to the card, similar to uathload, is > > ready but untested.

Re: wireless coordination and who's working on what?
Hi! If you can put some code up then we can poke at it together and see how to get the firmware load and USB framework bits into if_ath(4). You don't want to load it via userland; you really want the driver to load it at attach time and if it wants to power things fully down off or not. (You can do a reset command over USB to reset the chip back to "wait for firmware" which is nice for things like low power modes.) -a On Tue, 8 Jan 2019 at 02:12, Ashish Gupta wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to add USB glue to the ath driver in order to support Atheros > USB cards (I'm working with the AR9271 chip specifically). > > The code for downloading firmware to the card, similar to uathload, is > ready but untested.

Re: wireless coordination and who's working on what?
Hi, I'm trying to add USB glue to the ath driver in order to support Atheros USB cards (I'm working with the AR9271 chip specifically). The code for downloading firmware to the card, similar to uathload, is ready but untested. I'm trying to wrap my head around the existing driver (thanks Adrian!) and will add register read / write methods next to initialize the chip.

I would absolutely love working mesh support. That would drastically help some of the human rights efforts I'm watching and helping.
