Hello,

Recently I found myself a bit confused wrt my WiFi USB device 0x0cf3:0x7015 described at Linux Wireless wiki page (and handled differently in driver code).

It seems (I asked TP-Link directly) my TP-Link TL-WN821N V3 uses AR9287+AR7010 Atheros chips (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc/devices
claims AR9271).
While we're at this, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/USB could be updated in this regard as well (I know it's a wiki but I'd prefer more transparency here..)

Looking at driver code, it applies proper firmware.

(it stopped working completely recently in wireless-testing though:
ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - working
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 1/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 2/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 3/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc timed out ieee80211 phy0: device now idle
but that's different a story)

Hello,

Recently I found myself a bit confused wrt my WiFi USB device 0x0cf3:0x7015 described at Linux Wireless wiki page (and handled differently in driver code).

It seems (I asked TP-Link directly) my TP-Link TL-WN821N V3 uses AR9287+AR7010 Atheros chips (http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc/devices
claims AR9271).
While we're at this, http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Devices/USB could be updated in this regard as well (I know it's a wiki but I'd prefer more transparency here..)

Looking at driver code, it applies proper firmware.

(it stopped working completely recently in wireless-testing though:
ieee80211 phy0: device no longer idle - working
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 1/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 2/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc (try 3/3)
wlan0: direct probe to 68:7f:74:77:36:bc timed out ieee80211 phy0: device now idle
but that's different a story)

How recent is your wireless-testing tree ?

Can you post the debug log ?

It was some wireless-testing master from around a week ago.
Now I've re-cloned it again (since git pull resulted in conflicts for some reason), I'm at 903e9c0102cb9b4b3b1560df31f9b46650cdea88 and using htc_7010.fw from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/1.1/ - and so far so good :)

I'll testfield it for a while and see whether it drops connection after some time or after "some bandwidth is exceeded" like it appeared to in a past (but if was at times when the most recent firmware was still sitting in linux- firmware repo, I think I experienced the same results with stock kernel 2.6.37 ath9k_htc driver and corresponding wireless-testing, many things has changes since then and I'm optimistic)

regards
MM

(that's not exactly full debug, just I quick look, if there are to be any issues, I'll provide full debug respectively)

How recent is your wireless-testing tree ?

Can you post the debug log ?
See: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k/debug

It was some wireless-testing master from around a week ago.
Now I've re-cloned it again (since git pull resulted in conflicts for some reason), I'm at 903e9c0102cb9b4b3b1560df31f9b46650cdea88 and using htc_7010.fw from http://wireless.kernel.org/download/htc_fw/1.1/ - and so far so good :)

I'll testfield it for a while and see whether it drops connection after some time or after "some bandwidth is exceeded" like it appeared to in a past (but if was at times when the most recent firmware was still sitting in linux- firmware repo, I think I experienced the same results with stock kernel 2.6.37 ath9k_htc driver and corresponding wireless-testing, many things has changes since then and I'm optimistic)

MM

(that's not exactly full debug, just I quick look, if there are to be any issues, I'll provide full debug respectively)
(btw, sorry for mistaken crosspost to linux-wireless@ - it's second time I fail today in this regard...)
