[07:02] <newcar> hi, i have ubuntu 7.04 and i just updated my kernel to 2.6.22-12 from (deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy main restricted), everything is ok. Now i need to edit a module source code and recompile it, anyone can help-me?
[02:08] <kraut> moin
[04:51] <mjg59> rtg: The combination of network-manager and hostap_cs seems to be setting the wrong essid
[04:52] <mjg59> rtg: The attempt to set the essid to 6bFair ended up with it as 6bFair%
[04:53] <kylem> it should just be displayed as such.
[04:53] <kylem> there's an off by one in old WEXT
[04:53] <mjg59> kylem: Hm. It also appeared to have failed to associate.
[04:53] <mjg59> If I set it with iwconfig, it associates
[04:53] <kylem> hmm.
[04:56] <mjg59> Ah, my mistake
[04:57] <mjg59> It associates, but n-m doesn't notice
[04:57] <kylem> hmm
[04:57] <kylem> possibly it's doing a strcmp or something.
[04:57] <mjg59> Yeah
[04:57] <mjg59> Let me look at the code
[04:58] <mjg59> Possibly we should nail it to a strncmp
[04:58] <mjg59> And the expected length
[05:04] <mjg59> The dumps I get for hostap_cs and iwl4965 are subtly different
[05:04] <kylem> interesting.
[05:05] <kylem> linux wireless a disaster. news at 11.
[05:05] <mjg59> The hostap_cs case claims that activation completed, but never claims it was successful
[05:11] <mjg59> Ah!
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:15.022391   wifi0    Scan request completed
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:17.431952   wifi0    New Access Point/Cell address:Not-Associated
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:17.476782   wlan2    Set Mode:Managed
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:17.486940   wlan2    Set Frequency:2.427 GHz (Channel 4)
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:17.498810   wlan2    Set ESSID:"6bFair"
[05:11] <mjg59> 16:10:17.513736   wifi0    New Access Point/Cell address:00:16:B6:1E:C7:2B
[05:12] <mjg59> Note how the new AP message is coming from wifi0, whereas the essid is set on wlan2
[05:16] <mjg59> 131926 just looks like a missing device ID
[05:28] <mjg59> BenC: I /think/ the n-m/hostap_cs interaction is an easy fix
[05:29] <mjg59> BenC: The wireless events need to be sent on local->ddev as well as local->dev
[05:30] <mjg59> I'll build a tree later and test that
[05:30] <BenC> mjg59: ah, thanks
[05:30] <BenC> will that satisfy people having problems with hostap_cs saying that orinoco_cs works for them?
[05:30] <mjg59> With luck
[05:32] <BenC> at this point, I'll take luck
[05:33] <mjg59> I mean, if that's the only problem they're having. If it's "My card doesn't work at all with hostap", then we have other issues
[05:33] <BenC> for the ones I've heard about hostap_cs recognizes the card, but they can't get a wifi connection
[05:34] <mjg59> Right. If they're using n-m, this could well be why
[05:34] <mjg59> I'll need to test this to be sure. The alternative is that it's getting confused by the essid.
[09:26] <jetsaredim> has there been any progress on the vmware modules situation?
[09:28] <fabbione> jetsaredim: what is the problem?
[09:31] <JanC> I guess there are no vmware modules  :)
[09:32] <jetsaredim> yea
[09:32] <jetsaredim> not one is building any of the vmware modules for gutsy
[09:35] <JanC> gutsy isn't released yet...
[09:37] <jetsaredim> so
[09:37] <jetsaredim> i thought the idea was to get people using it and abusing it so that it could work out all of the kinks to be ready to release
[09:40] <JanC> vmware modules aren't officially supported AFAIK ?
[09:40] <jetsaredim> the kernel team is listed as the maintainer
[10:13] <bdmurray> BenC: Do you need more unionfs oops reports at all?
[10:14] <mjg59> bdmurray: Are you getting them with latest l-u-m?
[10:14] <bdmurray> mjg59: I'm getting them with today's edubuntu daily
[10:15] <mjg59> bdmurray: What version of l-u-m does that have?
[10:16] <bdmurray> 2.6.22-12.32
[10:16] <kylem> that's unfortunate.
[10:17] <bdmurray> which that?
[10:17] <kylem> because that's the most recent one.
[10:18] <mjg59> In that case, yes
[10:18] <bdmurray> So I should submit the Oops portion of dmesg as a bug about linux-ubuntu-modules?
[10:18] <kylem> yes.
[10:19] <bdmurray> and bug 138915 should be moved to l-u-m?

[10:19] <kylem> yes
[10:46] <bdmurray> okay it is bug 144945

[10:53] <mjg59> BenC: Got hostap_cs working
[10:56] <BenC> mjg59: you rock
[10:56] <BenC> We can get it in post-beta
[11:14] <mjg59> BenC: rtg: There are still several cards that have IDs in orinoco_cs but not in hostap_cs
[11:14] <BenC> mjg59: yeah, rtg is supposed to enable orinoco_cs with just the id's not found in hostap_cs
[11:17] <mjg59> Ok, cool
