**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 24 02:59:57 2007 Sep 24 10:17:06 hi:) Sep 24 14:18:19 matteo; I've had no joy with updated acx-mac80211 packages...still the same issue with AP mode Sep 24 14:19:12 AP mode? Sep 24 14:19:20 have you readed my post in the forum Sep 24 14:19:20 sorry; master mode Sep 24 14:19:37 linux kernel has NOT master mode (yet) Sep 24 14:19:43 it is in wireless-dev Sep 24 14:19:49 matteo: huh? Sep 24 14:19:56 ejka: this for mac80211 Sep 24 14:20:12 in kernel mac80211 has not master mode support Sep 24 14:20:16 matteo: mac80211 was actually developed to support master mode Sep 24 14:20:22 ejka: sure Sep 24 14:20:29 but it is disabled in vanilla kernels Sep 24 14:20:38 the master mode code is in the wireless-dev git tree Sep 24 14:20:50 they're waiting the user interface to be ready Sep 24 14:21:07 if you want mac80211 and master mode use a wireless-dev kernel Sep 24 14:21:13 i do this with my rtl8187 card Sep 24 14:21:16 works fine Sep 24 14:21:26 but doesn't works with vanilla 2.6.22 Sep 24 14:21:36 ok; so the master mode bit associated with the mac80211 bit and not the acx-80211 bit? Sep 24 14:21:36 it complains about device not ready etc. Sep 24 14:21:46 yess Sep 24 14:21:49 ok Sep 24 14:22:03 when the full mac80211 will go into mainline we will have master mode too Sep 24 14:22:14 nabcore: test acx-mac80211 as client Sep 24 14:22:24 if it works as client it should as AP too Sep 24 14:23:03 matteo: openwrt's 2.6.22 uses wireless-dev mac80211 Sep 24 14:23:14 I've got nothing at the moment for it to connect to since it is my AP (albeit via ethernet) Sep 24 14:23:28 ejka: good to know. i 'm not testing WLAN atm Sep 24 14:24:22 I don't follow that; master mode is not the same as managed mode? Sep 24 14:24:46 master = ap; managed = client Sep 24 14:24:48 managed mode is sta, master mode is ap Sep 24 14:25:26 nabcore: "managed" as "an AP manages your connection" Sep 24 14:25:50 ah matteo; are you saying that I should use it (at the moment) in an ad-hoc mode? Sep 24 14:26:10 nabcore: to use it as an AP? Sep 24 14:26:11 mm Sep 24 14:26:15 it should work too Sep 24 14:26:17 try Sep 24 14:26:31 but if you have more than 1 client it will be damn slow Sep 24 14:26:50 ok, is that what you meant by "if it works as client it should as AP too" ? Sep 24 14:28:34 yes Sep 24 14:28:46 because the tricky part is the device dependent code Sep 24 14:29:03 mac80211 is just another (better) iee80211 stack Sep 24 14:29:07 acx has already one Sep 24 14:29:11 it is wlan.h Sep 24 14:29:28 ok Sep 24 14:29:57 but the cool thing about acx-mac80211 is that it will support WPA and WPA2 Sep 24 14:30:00 ;) Sep 24 14:30:04 And the core pieces of mac80211 can be used by other wireless device drivers? Sep 24 14:31:54 yes Sep 24 14:32:04 ok Sep 24 14:32:05 brcm, zydas, iwlwifi and libertas Sep 24 14:32:39 this is the point of having a wifi stack Sep 24 14:32:48 ose one, good, for every driver Sep 24 14:32:53 nice... and code re-use in this manner reduces the probability of bugs Sep 24 14:32:58 ehm, every SoftMAC card Sep 24 14:33:40 well, it was good from the beginning. the company who made it (devicescape) made it good Sep 24 14:34:31 nabcore: some old cards have teh wifi stack in the firmware Sep 24 14:34:41 cisco, prism, orinoco Sep 24 14:34:52 ok Sep 24 14:35:14 there are named FullMAC and will never work with mac80211 Sep 24 14:35:20 fortunately acx is SoftMAC Sep 24 14:35:41 acx is FullMAC Sep 24 14:35:57 ok; is SoftMAC cheaper to manufacture? Sep 24 14:36:10 you can use almost any fullmac card as softmac actually Sep 24 14:36:36 interesting Sep 24 14:42:03 I think once the acx-mac80211 master mode is all sorted, I think the AR7 platform will be there as far as openwrt is concerned Sep 24 15:09:12 florian * r9008 /trunk/target/linux/rb532/files/ (arch/mips/rb500/prom.c drivers/mtd/nand/rbmipsnand.c): Fix rb535 revision 5 detection Sep 24 15:11:44 release juhosg Sep 24 15:11:56 oops, bad window Sep 24 15:16:17 [florian]: is that fix confirmed on both new and old hardware? Sep 24 15:16:57 <[florian]> nbd: I have no board to test and I could not find the guy I asked to test before on #openwrt Sep 24 15:17:11 ok. when it's confirmed it should be backported to 7.09 Sep 24 15:17:45 <[florian]> absolutely Sep 24 16:59:25 juhosg * r9009 /trunk/target/linux/adm5120/files/ (12 files in 4 dirs): [adm5120] move pci_irq_map definitions into the board specific files Sep 24 17:39:05 blogic * r9010 /packages/XOrg/generate.sh: added a delete feature to the xorg package generator script Sep 24 21:21:22 florian * r9011 /trunk/target/linux/rb532/files/arch/mips/rb500/prom.c: prom_free_memory should be __init Sep 24 21:49:59 florian * r9012 /packages/ipv6/polipo/Makefile: Do not depend on kmod-ipv6 (#2423) Sep 24 22:20:30 hello Sep 24 22:20:36 hi Sep 24 22:20:47 how can I change kernel .config with buildroot-ng ? Sep 24 22:22:29 `make kernel_menuconfig' Sep 24 22:25:06 tx Sep 25 02:12:31 Bartman007, oi, if i make a init script in "files/" how can i keep it from be enabled automaticaly **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 25 02:59:56 2007
