The real fix is not to disable scanning for a BSS once you are
associated, if you disable scanning for a BSS then you won't be able
to roam in a corporate environment. You want to roam to be able to
make a smooth transition from one AP to another on the same ESS. We
allow for this in mac80211 and the proposed solution on this thread
is no fix at all, its only something that should be considered if you
are certain the AP is singular. If the AP is singular then sure, it
makes no sense to scan and not sure if this is something that should
be specified as a toggle when configuring wireless settings for the
first time or if wpa_supplicant should pick this up on its own.

Most Linux distributions today use Network Manager and do a background
scan every 60 seconds when you are associated. It does this to feed to
wpa_supplicant new data from the BSSes around you so wpa_supplicant
can roam if it finds you are closer to another BSS with a better
signal. Network Manager should not be triggering a scan every 60
seconds, instead it should be triggering a scan if the current BSS has
hit an RSSI for the BSS below a certain threshold or a large specific
period of time has elapsed. The kernel and wpa_supplicant has support
for this now, look at using the bgscan module on wpa_supplicant.

This needs to be addressed in Network Manager. Linux distributions
would also need to switch to using nl80211, the new event (RSSI going
below a certain threshold) is only available using nl80211. Using
nl80211 is what should be used today.

For an example of a Linux distribution doing the right thing with
regards to background scanning you can look at ChromeOS, it uses a
fork of conmann they made, flimflam, flimflam uses the bgscan module.

Also, consider that if you disable scanning the scan list will be old

definitely I agree it should not be every 60 seconds. How often? Not
sure, this should be taken up on the linux-wireless mailing list.

 If I hardcode the BSSID in, how am I going to roam anyway?

 Wagner, could you please release a lucid package including your patch ?

Lucid uses 2.6.32 and the background scanning which I described
earlier is part of 2.6.32 so you should be OK on Lucid.

$ git describe --contains 142b9f5074dc0d09dc0025739ad437723d7bf527
v2.6.32-rc1~703^2~506^2~36

I would not recommend disabling scanning unless you let the user save
that as a preference as otherwise you would not be able to pick APs
while you move around. Eventually the supplicant will get roaming
support and you will need bg scans for this.

 Luis R, i dont agree with your words:
  this bug report should be closed as its for an older kernel and in

   older kernels

 Im using the latest official ubuntu release and is still affeceted by
 this bug.

 The only 3 workarrounds i have found:

 Use Wagner Volanin  patch for Network-manager
 or
 Remove network-manager and connect manually to the networks.
 or
 Using an alternative software like WICD to manage the networks.

 I hope it can be solve in the next release of Ubuntu, tell me if i can
 help testing something to solve the bug.

You missed my point, the point was that background scans do go off
channel for however long it takes a card to scan all the channels it
supports. This doesn't affect only ath9k, it affects all cards and the
proper solution would be to do a scan on each channel and then go back
to the home channel for a while. Do this until you've completed the
entire scan. This is addressed in a later kernel and therefore since
the change is considerably large such a change cannot go into the
stable kernel that Ubuntu ships.

I encourage you to try to become familiar with the upstream kernel bug
propagation life cycle so you can better understand how real critical
fixes get merged into the Linux kernel stable releases and how
implementation changes (like this one) won't go into stable release
but instead into a next kernel release.

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/Fix_Propagation

There are indeed some mixing fixes for ath9k on 2.6.31 though, see:

http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/patches/ath9k/fixes-not-in-2.6.31
-for-ath9k.txt

these unfortunately did not get propagated into the 2.6.31.y stable
releases yet, but must be handled on a case by case basis. But since
each release for Ubuntu is made every 6 months and since 9.10 release
is not a long term support release you are likely better off just
installing something like linux-backport-modules to get the 2.6.32
wireless subsystem to cure your fixes for now.

I am not sure but lets say all ath9k 2.6.31 fixes eventually get
merged into the next 2.6.31.y, it may or may not mean Ubuntu 9.10's
2.6.31 latest kernel will get those updates, depends likely on the
severity and the kernel package policy for Ubuntu.

Hope this better helps understand what I meant.

 So now for this bug - how do we go about it?

This issue will never be fixed on the stable kernel of your
distribution, your only option is to upgrade to bleeding edge
compat-wireless or stable compat-wireless. Ubuntu has compat-wireless
in the linux-backports package as well but that only gets updated
whever Tim gets a chance to push it out, as I understand it. In the
future it may make sense to carry stable compat-wireless on
distributions, so for example when 2.6.32-rc1 goes out you can test
that immediately.

For now stick to testing in this order:

1) Ubuntu linux-backports module package
2) Compat-wireless stable
3) Compat-wireless bleeding edge

2009-08-07 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez
this bug report should be closed as its for an older kernel and in
older kernels this is just the way this works. If you want to take
advantage of bg scanning enhancements it is outside the scope of the
older kernels, and you *can* use newer kernels/drivers if you so
choose. If you see issues with that then it is not an issue for a
relevant bug report to launchpad or anything like that. Since you
would be using bleeding edge if you see issues with the new scan
method you can just explain the issues you see on linux-wireless.

 Thanks again!

That will break roaming capabilities. The right way to solve this is
to spread out scanning evenly and going back to the home channel after
a few channel scans during a wide scan. Such work is being done
upstream but it'll take while for users to get it unless using
something like compat-wireless. Such patches are not yet merged by may
soon be.

 Is this bug fixed or not?

 @Luis, Thanks for your upstream patch, do you think it is ok for us to
 cherry pick it to our Jaunty Stable Release Updates.

This should already be part of jaunty, I made sure to inform the
Ubuntu kernel team of the importance of the serialization patches.

On the ath9k wiki we also keep track of known issues and the kernels
when they were fixed. Let me paste the relevant section here:


http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k

Hangs with PCI devices and SMP systems

This issue was due to a hardware limitation on our PCI devices whereby
our device's FIFO queue got filled up and caused a loop. This issue is
only present on our 11n PCI devices, its not present on our
PCI-express devices nor our legacy 802.11abg devices.

The fix was to serialize read/writes – a spin_lock around each read
and write. This fix is not performed for PCI devices or non-SMP
systems. This fix is present in 2.6.29, 2.6.28.10 and 2.6.27.22.


In the future just please refer to the wiki page.

Did you read the wiki? 9.04 will ship with a default kernel, that will
never get updated. To get the newer stable release kernels you have no
other option but to upgrade the stable kernel. Jaunty should have
these updated. Keep in mind stable kernels don't automatically trickle
down to the default repository on Ubunut, they first hit the proposed
repository and then eventually hit the main repository.

For details please read:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/LinuxWireless

 when upgrading to backport-
 modules (which basically is compat-wireless from end of March) they went
 away.

Upgrading to a stable kernel should fix it too.

[Bug 333730] Re: Wireless connection with ath9k is very unstable

2009-06-01 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez
Bugs tend to be fixed in newer kernels, if you cannot test them from
upstream sources then you have no other option but to wait until your
distribution catches up with either a stable kernel release update or
the next distribution release.

A stable release upgrade would be from say, 2.6.27.1 to 2.6.27.2 and so
on.

A distribution upgrade would be from say Intrepid to Jaunty, and now
karmic.

To help with users not having to upgrade their kernels to try the latest
bleeding edge wireless drivers we have put together a package called
compat-wireless. Please try this:

 Strange but true.

Huh? Keep in mind if you use compat-wireless and have lbm installed
lbm might be picked up first. It depends on /etc/depmod.d/* files. If
updates is first than where the ath9k from lbm comes in then updates
will be prefered otherwise lbm will be picked.

Also keep in mind lbm uses compat-wireless.

 Sorry, that could have been more clear.

 My first instinct was to build compat-wireless (from linuxwireless.org) in
 attempt to resolve the aforementioned problem. Unfortunately,
 compat-wireless itself did not help at all, so I uninstalled it and then
 installed lbm, which did indeed fix it.

Then in that case lbm hasn't yet been updated to reflect new
compat-wireless changes.

[Bug 319378] Re: [ath9k] Kernel panic in 2.6.27-11

2009-03-15 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez
If the crash was due to ath9k and you are on an SMP system then your
issue may be fixed with the latest patches I have posted which fixes
this issue in wireless-testing down to 2.6.27. These patches have been
posted to be merged into wireless-testing however they have not yet been
merged so if you'd like to try then you'll have to apply patches
yourself. Note that these patches are not yet merged into wireless-
testing but will likely be so as of this week.

The upstream kernel.org bug report is:

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12110

The patches you can use to test:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/patches/ath9k/2009-03-12/serialization-v6/

As far as performance is concerned please keep in mind 802.11n
aggregation support was only enabled as of 2.6.29 so you'll need at
least compat-wireless for that (but the patches for serialization fix
need to yet be applied on top of that).

[Bug 289356] Re: ath9k causes system lockup

2009-03-15 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez
Suspend is not supported in mac80211 until 2.6.30 which you can only use
right now through the wireless-testing git tree. To learn how to get
that tree check out the wireless-testing git guide:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/git-guide

If you don't want to compile that entire kernel you can try compat-
wireless.

Anyway as for the details of this bug report -- it seems you are no
longer getting a crash, please confirm to close this bug report.

ath9k: quiet harmless ForceXPAon messages

This is a port of one line of upstream patch
f1dc56003b23d2d5bb5a756de6b1633a76c9e697

The ForceXPAon messages on ath9k were not meant to be printed
regularly, lets quiet them as this can happen quite frequently
(scans) and will fill the logs with tons of these messages.

 re-create on my Macbook Pro v3,1 with 2.6.27-11

 This kernel fixes the original symptoms, but still has ath9k problems.

And how is that relevant to this bug report? BTW you can always do:

OK I was not able to reproduce this on a x86_64 box with  7 GB of
memory on 2.6.27.5-101.fc10.x86_64.

Do you guys have something like this on lspci:

Intel Corporation Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Memory Controller Hub

It seems the Intel 965 memory controller does IOMMU in software so I
wonder if that is 100% correct if its the software for that. Not sure,
just something someone pointed out to me.

You can try these patches, the first one just clarifies the type of
memory we want to deal with the second one makes it consistent.

This information in this bug report is not sufficient but I think I know
what is causing it and we've already submitted a patch upstream. Please
apply the patch attached.

This happens only when your AP has not sent a BlockAck and the STA then
decides it needs to ask the AP for one (BA request).

I think this patch may have already been applied to the intrepid kernel?

2008-06-19 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez

Nice Nicolas, glad to see you went through the proper channels and got your 
issue resolved. My hope is that the compat-wireless helps users get the latest 
Linux wireless drivers *all the time* and to help vendors push drivers upstream 
*ASAP*, as well as fix them.

The more users we get to test our wireless drivers the better shape our
wireless drivers and stack will get by the stable kernel releases.

Please let me know if you have further issues.

2008-06-11 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez

* Unresolved symbols:

I'm looking into it

* No LED/RFKILL:

Led and RFKILL support need to be backported in order to enable them on
compat-wirelesss. Patches are welcomed.

* Ooops:

If you get an oops it means the latest bleeding edge code very likely
also causes it so you can simply report it to linux-wireless. The
benefit though is that once it is fixed and the fix merged into wirless-
testing.git compat-wireless automatically picks it up too. This is why
we'd need frequent updates.

If Gnome upstream has closed that bug it is very unfortunate. I'm promoting

so far. So in the meantime I'll tell my users to use a debian package I've 
built based on Stephen Cofer's patch. I just rebased it for

Here is the deb, README.txt and patch:

[Bug 75535] Re: cannot connect to ldap

2006-12-13 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez

OK the trace is 

_get_user_info() -- _connect_anonymously()

Now, _connect_anonymously() will try to bind as root if

if (session-conf-rootbinddn  geteuid () == 0)

For some reason it does this for any user trying to ssh in from
anywhere. It does this with:

  msgid = ldap_simple_bind (session-ld,
session-conf-rootbinddn,
session-conf-rootbindpw);

rootbinddn and rootbindpw are filled with the specific root bind
credentials defined only in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf. Now to figure out:

Why did the session pick up rootbinddn. getuid() == 0 makes sense as I
believe this is sshd which makes the pam_ldap call through root.

[Bug 75535] Re: cannot connect to ldap

2006-12-13 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez

Nevermind -- problem was /etc/pam_ldap.conf

I know it has been discussed before on merging /etc/libnss_ldap.conf and
/etc/pam_ldap.conf but boy it sure it would help.

Close this bug please.

[Bug 75535] cannot connect to ldap

2006-12-12 Thread Luis R. Rodriguez
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libnss-ldap


I'm having problems getting an ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS host authenticate against 
against itself through ldap. That is this host is the ldap server 
(slapd-2.2.26-5ubuntu2.2) and I am trying to get it to authenticate against 
itself.

Debian testing clients are able to authenticate just fine against the
ldap server. Using the same client configuration files on the ubuntu
server I cannot get it to authenticate against itself though through
login or ssh.

I've tried this using TLS and without TLS so that shouldn't be the
problem. The fact that other debian testing boxes can authenticate just
fine leads me to point to an ubuntu issue. Since this is not specific to
ssh (login fails too) and since the only relevant error messages are
lib_nss this leads me to point the finger to libnss-ldap. Connection to
itself is allowed and has been tested, no iptables rules defined.
tcpdump does show communication on tcp ldaps during authentication.
Using ldapsearch works just fine.

While searching for bugs I found certain bugs reported on edgy:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/+bug/70146

So I ported the patch referred to there to Dapper. At the end you will
find the patch in case you find it useful. Anyway, that didn't do the
trick.
