pull request: wireless-next-2.6 2009-06-04

Dave,

Hopefully this is (almost?) the last wireless pull request for non-bugfix patches intended for 2.6.31...

Included are the usual round of driver updates, mac80211 updates, etc. Also included is the long-awaited and slightly controversial rfkill rewrite. The userland guys (i.e. Dan and Marcel) are happy with it, and it can clean-up a lot of driver code for wireless. Henrique has some lingering concerns about some corner cases for platform drivers, but I think they are relatively minor and will be resolved amicably soon.

Please let me know if there are problems!

Thanks,

John

Pulled into net-next-2.6 and I'll push it back out to kernel.org after some build testing.

Thanks!

(..)

Hi John,

after pulling the latest net-next-2.6 i got this warning which is probably caused by CONFIG_RFKILL=m in my config:

hartko@vwagwolkf320:~/net-next-2.6$ make oldconfig

That functionality is no longer available as a module. If you need it, then select Y.

Hth!

John

John W. Linville		Someday the world will need a hero, and you
[email protected]			might be all we have.  Be ready.

It does! Thanks for the clarification. I'll select CONFIG_RFKILL=y now.

Oliver

Just some additional nitpicking:

You should update net/rfkill/Kconfig as it still allows a tristate selection for RFKILL and the comment "To compile this driver as a module ..." should be removed also.

Regards,
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

compiling RFKILL itself as a module is still working perfectly fine. It is just the RFKILL_INPUT that can't be built as a module anymore. That part was pointless anyway. And in the future RFKILL_INPUT will go away and be replaced by a userspace implementation with proper support for platform specific policies.

Regards

Marcel

Hi all,

i have a Dell Lattitude 830 with Bluetooh and b43 WLAN and my RFKILL-switch is set to ON.

On power on the BT LED is on and when booting with 2.6.30 or with 2.6.30-git5 the WLAN LED becomes illuminated within the boot process after b43 pulled his firmware.

With net-next-2.6 the BT LED is switched OFF(!) during the boot process and the Kernel log says:

[   15.276568] b43 ssb0:0: firmware: requesting b43/b0g0bsinitvals5.fw

[   15.721053] b43-phy0 debug: Removing Interface type 2
[   15.733877] b43-phy0 debug: Wireless interface stopped

The WLAN LED is never illuminated with net-next-2.6.

The BT LED is switched off something around this time in the log:

[    7.910910] usbcore: registered new interface driver btusb

When i see the BT LED switching to off, i can manually switch the RFKILL switch to OFF and ON, and then both LEDs get illuminated and WLAN is successfully initialized by the boot process.

As we discussed about RFKILL and modules, i set CONFIG_RFKILL=y in my net-netx-2.6 tree with no change of the behaviour.

Any idea what changed in net-next-2.6 that could produce this behaviour?

Regards,
Oliver

I missed the Dell dcdbas log output that seems to kill the LED ... see below.

The rfkill subsystem rewrite would seem suspect... :-)

Maybe this fixes it?

Yes, that made it!

I booted with the RFKILL switch ON and OFF and the system and the LEDs are working as one would expect it.

Thanks Johannes.

RFKILL and RFKILL_INPUT are different things... :-)
