Apr 06 11:28:06 <bonzini> hello
Apr 06 11:28:17 <bonzini> i already posted on the forums but maybe here is faster :)
Apr 06 11:28:33 <bonzini> does anybody already have 2.6.21 packages for pl2303?
Apr 06 11:29:26 <blathijs> Is that 2.0g or 2.0n?
Apr 06 11:29:40 <blathijs> I think it's 2.0g, right?
Apr 06 11:30:23 <blathijs> Oh wait, it's 2.0n
Apr 06 11:35:49 <bonzini> yes, 2.0n
Apr 06 11:36:08 <bonzini> pl2303 is the kernel module name
Apr 06 11:38:23 <blathijs> Yeah, I know that :-)
Apr 06 11:41:21 <blathijs> bonzini: I'm seeing if I can build a package for you just now (though the first attempt seems to have failed)
Apr 06 11:41:43 <bonzini> thanks, i'm building it too but it will be a while before binutils/gcc/etc. are done too
Apr 06 11:44:07 <bonzini> blathijs: i get "device descriptor read/64" errors, could it be just the lack of module or is there anything else that could cause it
Apr 06 11:44:07 <bonzini> ?
Apr 06 11:44:21 <blathijs> bonzini: Where are those errors?
Apr 06 11:44:26 <blathijs> bonzini: kernel log?
Apr 06 11:44:32 <bonzini> blathijs: in dmesg when i plug the serial adapter, yes
Apr 06 11:44:40 <blathijs> Sounds like something is broken, really
Apr 06 11:45:02 <bonzini> the adapter works on my laptop
Apr 06 11:45:46 <|> usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using dwc_otg and address 6
Apr 06 11:45:46 <|> usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Apr 06 11:45:46 <|> usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Apr 06 11:45:46 <|> usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using dwc_otg and address 7
Apr 06 11:45:46 <|> usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Apr 06 11:45:47 <|> usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
Apr 06 11:50:24 <blathijs> bonzini: Sounds like something is wrong even before it decides what driver to load
Apr 06 11:50:29 <bonzini> :(
Apr 06 11:50:32 <blathijs> bonzini: Is there an USB hub involved?
Apr 06 11:50:45 <bonzini> no, i plugged directly in the fonera's port
Apr 06 11:51:08 <bonzini> but you're right it should have printed "New USB device found," etc. etc.
Apr 06 11:52:14 <blathijs> Hmm, I used to have a PL2303 somewhere, but I seem to remember I blew up that one trying to talk to my 2.0g's serial port...
Apr 06 11:52:27 <bonzini> let me try it again in the laptop :)
Apr 06 11:53:20 <bonzini> blathijs: still works :)
Apr 06 11:55:57 <blathijs> bonzini: Just a random guess, but could you try this version of the USB driver? http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/ticket/843#comment:14
Apr 06 11:57:14 <bonzini> can i rmmod/insmod instead of rebooting?
Apr 06 11:57:29 <bonzini> answer: yes :)
Apr 06 11:59:04 <blathijs> I guess that should work
Apr 06 12:04:40 <bonzini> doesn't help, will open a ticket -- thanks
Apr 06 12:05:11 <bonzini> in the meanwhile i found another serial port, haven't tried it yet (#!@% usb-a vs. usb-b :( )
Apr 06 12:06:56 <blathijs> I'm not sure there's much I can do to fix your problem, but recording it in a ticket is useful for others as well, I expect
Apr 06 12:06:59 <bonzini> yep
Apr 06 12:07:07 <bonzini> blathijs: do you think adding a hub in the middle will help or make it worse? :)
Apr 06 12:07:11 <blathijs> Trying a different converter makes the most sense
Apr 06 12:07:33 <blathijs> bonzini: There are some known problems with the 2.0n and USB hubs, so I thought removing it might fix the problem
Apr 06 12:07:44 <blathijs> bonzini: But never hurts to try adding one, if you have one lying around
Apr 06 12:08:02 <bonzini> yeah, i can't just do that now, but i can try later
Apr 06 12:14:26 <blathijs> bbl, lunch
Apr 06 12:14:57 <blathijs> (I've given up on building pl2303, btw, seems I need to rebuild my entire kernel and make package/kernel/clean is not enough)
Apr 06 12:37:47 <bonzini> i built it :)
Apr 06 12:38:55 <blathijs> yay
Apr 06 12:39:07 <bonzini> the request was just laziness :)
Apr 06 12:39:17 <bonzini> doesn't help of course
Apr 06 13:05:23 <bonzini> blathijs: i guess my fonera has a problem, i tried four devices (two storage and a smartcard) and all of them gave -71 :(
Apr 06 13:05:38 <bonzini> blathijs: thanks anyway for your help!
Apr 06 13:32:52 <blathijs> bonzini: weird
Apr 06 13:33:04 <blathijs> bonzini: Which firmware version?
Apr 06 13:33:04 <bonzini> i guess i'll ask for warranty :(
Apr 06 13:33:08 <bonzini> 2.3.6.1
Apr 06 13:33:19 <bonzini> + your USB module
Apr 06 13:33:30 <blathijs> bonzini: Perhaps you could try a factory reset, if you didn't already?
Apr 06 13:34:10 <bonzini> well, i guess without a usb hard drive it doesn't really matter :)
Apr 06 13:34:19 <bonzini> if i'll have to reinstall everything :)
Apr 06 13:34:53 * bonzini is happy he has documented everything on wiki.fon.com
Apr 06 13:38:49 <blathijs> bonzini: Did the USB work before on this unit?
Apr 06 13:39:11 <bonzini> never tried
Apr 06 13:39:22 <bonzini> i had been procrastinating the "real" fonera setup for months :)
Apr 06 13:47:03 <blathijs> heh
Apr 06 14:01:52 <bonzini> ok, it works - now i have another problem, disabling UMTS :)
Apr 06 14:08:13 <blathijs> bonzini: A factory reset helped?
Apr 06 14:08:18 <bonzini> yes!
Apr 06 14:08:23 <blathijs> Funky
Apr 06 14:08:33 <blathijs> Not quite expected either
Apr 06 14:08:51 <blathijs> makes me regret I didn't ask you to dump your settings before resetting ;-)
Apr 06 14:08:51 <bonzini> indeed
Apr 06 14:08:58 <bonzini> indeed!
Apr 06 14:09:04 <blathijs> Could it be that it was just a reboot that helped?
Apr 06 14:09:12 <bonzini> nope, rebooted so many times today
Apr 06 14:09:17 <bonzini> even pulled the plug once or twice
Apr 06 14:09:41 <blathijs> Weird, but something to remember
Apr 06 14:11:10 <bonzini> right
Apr 06 14:11:18 <bonzini> uh, somebody forgot to implement fon.advanced.umts :)
Apr 06 14:11:59 <blathijs> Hmm, I seem to remeber that there was an easy way to disable umts, I think someone asked on the mailinglist
Apr 06 14:13:57 <blathijs> Hmm, perhaps not
Apr 06 14:43:50 <blathijs> bonzini: Heh, I was going to suggest to remove /etc/hotplug.d/ttyusb/10-umts, but this is more elegant ;-p
Apr 06 14:43:57 <bonzini> yeah :)
Apr 06 14:44:23 <blathijs> bonzini: Where did you find this fon.advanced.umts value? Just in the config file, or is it commented on anywhere?
Apr 06 14:44:33 <bonzini> it's in the config file, set to 1 :)
Apr 06 14:45:24 <blathijs> I'm wondering if it is really intended to mean this and/or if it's used somewhere else
Apr 06 14:45:31 <bonzini> it's unused
Apr 06 14:45:35 <bonzini> i checked the sources
Apr 06 14:45:49 <bonzini> feel free to s/umts/umts_enabled in the patch :)
Apr 06 14:46:57 <blathijs> s/umts/disable_umts/ makes more sense, probably (umts_enabled also needs a default of 1 ;-)
Apr 06 14:49:12 <bonzini> yeah
Apr 06 14:49:15 <bonzini> whatever :)
Apr 06 14:49:16 <blathijs> bonzini: Actually, it seems that the "umts" value is intended to enable/disable the wifi hotspot when UMTS is enabled
Apr 06 14:49:24 <blathijs> see luci/modules/admin-fon/luasrc/model/cbi//fon_umts/auth.lua
Apr 06 14:50:18 <bonzini> funny name
Apr 06 14:50:38 <blathijs> agreed :-)
Apr 06 14:51:22 <bonzini> ok, so umts_enabled be it
Apr 06 14:52:02 <blathijs> Ah, the name is a reference the value of the fon.wan.mode setting
Apr 06 14:52:08 <bonzini> ahem, disable_umts :)
Apr 06 14:52:46 <blathijs> http://trac.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/browser/trunk/fon/coova/files/chillispot-fon.init#L122\
Apr 06 14:53:06 <blathijs> (without the trailing \, that key is just too close the enter key)
Apr 06 14:53:11 <bonzini> ahh
Apr 06 14:53:33 <bonzini> share_umts/share_dhcp would have made more sense but whatever
Apr 06 14:56:17 <blathijs> Yeah, there's more of these fuzzy details in the code. I guess there was a bit of a hurry :-)
Apr 06 15:02:09 <blathijs> bonzini: Hmm, how did you create this patch? Not using "svn diff" I suspect?
Apr 06 15:02:16 <bonzini> yes, why?
Apr 06 15:02:54 <blathijs> The path is just "10-umts", not fon/umtsd/...
Apr 06 15:03:02 <bonzini> ah, "svn diff ."
Apr 06 15:03:11 <bonzini> actually "svn diff" while not in the root
Apr 06 15:03:30 <blathijs> Hmm, didn't know svn diff did that (though I guess it makes sense). I've been using git too much lately ;-)
Apr 06 15:03:38 <blathijs> bonzini: Is it ok if I credit you with your real name?
Apr 06 15:03:43 <bonzini> sure!
Apr 06 15:05:41 <blathijs> k, cool
Apr 06 15:05:55 <blathijs> I've commited it locall, I'll do some testing and push it out to SVN sometime soon
Apr 06 15:07:16 <bonzini> no problem
