Aug 27 05:26:37 <CIA-41> agb * r22821 /trunk/target/linux/gemini/patches/200-wbd222_support.patch: [gemini] update wbd222 patch after r22662
Aug 27 09:02:41 <KanjiMonster> nbd: ping
Aug 27 12:17:06 <nbd> KanjiMonster: pong
Aug 27 12:17:33 <KanjiMonster> nbd: do you have by chance tried to access the dockstar through jtag?
Aug 27 12:17:40 <nbd> nope
Aug 27 12:18:39 <_trine> KanjiMonster, just interested,,  is this for a test or a need?
Aug 27 12:18:43 <KanjiMonster> because, to say it with an internet meme, "I dun goof'd" - I accidentially erased the whole flash
Aug 27 12:19:27 <KanjiMonster> (I am too accustomed to commands giving their help if issues without any parameters, which wasn't the case with "nand erase")
Aug 27 12:19:49 <nbd> ouch
Aug 27 12:20:01 <KanjiMonster> I do have a backup of the whole flash (at least of all 4 mtd partitions)
Aug 27 12:20:36 <_trine> http://plugapps.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=195
Aug 27 12:20:43 <KanjiMonster> I tried restoring the bootloader, but it didn't work, after a reset it was dead
Aug 27 12:21:50 <KanjiMonster> I assume something with tftp didn't work right
Aug 27 12:23:26 <KanjiMonster> I previously tried restoring the original firmware, but it always claimed crc errors in the linux image (even though I verified the correct transfer from the device with md5sums)
Aug 27 12:25:25 <_trine> this is interesting for other matters

Aug 27 12:29:53 <KanjiMonster> _trine: there is still the "I don't have a jtag adapter"-problem ;)
Aug 27 12:30:16 <_trine> oh well that is a problem then
Aug 27 12:30:31 <_trine> you cant hammer nails without an hammer
Aug 27 12:32:54 <KanjiMonster> nbd: do I have chances of finding someone with a jtag at the waveloeten who might be kind enough to restore the bootloader for me?
Aug 27 12:34:09 <KanjiMonster> _trine: currently I am in a small conflict, a new dockstar is cheaper than a jtag adapter ;)
Aug 27 12:35:14 <_trine> http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Wiggler-Universal-JTAG-Cable-Modem-Wireless-Routers-FTA-/280462473765?pt=BI_Electrical_Equipment_Tools
Aug 27 12:35:58 <_trine> its only one chip you could make one
Aug 27 12:37:32 <KanjiMonster> _trine: I don't have a parallel port
Aug 27 12:38:28 <_trine> if you were an old bugger like me you would have one :)
Aug 27 12:38:59 <_trine> this is the one he used
Aug 27 12:39:02 <_trine> http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/Universal_JTAG_User_Manual_%28Parallel%29
Aug 27 12:39:46 <KanjiMonster> if I buy one, I intend to buy a ftdi-based one (I have my eyes on the amontec jtagkey2)
Aug 27 12:39:56 <Mr_Smoke> BUY WITH CONFIDENT! <= uh .. yeah right
Aug 27 12:40:21 <_trine> cunffidunt toothpaste
Aug 27 12:41:50 <_trine> actually I have noticed a great number of competent computer code writer etc are not so good with language skills  perhaps their minds are wired in a different way
Aug 27 12:42:53 <_trine> I would not read anything into poor spelling and grammar when related to computer science
Aug 27 12:47:31 <KanjiMonster> except if you can see the writer used a chinese->english machine translation, then I would really question the quality of the product ;)
Aug 27 12:49:16 <_trine> most stuff is made in China now so theres no geting away from it and mostly its of good quality these days
Aug 27 12:51:16 <_trine> at the bottom of their page they show the unbuffered version which has direct connections to the parallel port
Aug 27 12:51:35 <_trine> so in that case nothing else is needed
Aug 27 12:57:55 <KanjiMonster> I still need a parallel port ;) (well, ok, my board still has a header for it iirc, so I could buy a slot thingy for it)
Aug 27 12:58:48 <_trine> This type of method might work for the dockstar if you had a parallel port
Aug 27 12:58:50 <_trine> http://www.tiaowiki.com/w/Image:Xenondiag.jpg
Aug 27 13:07:48 <KanjiMonster> _trine: well, if choosing between paying ~20 euros for a parallel port and a jtag wiggler or paying 20 euros for a new dockstar, I would buy a new dockstar. I intend to buy the jtagkey (or something equivalent) eventually anyways, so it feels a bit like "wasted money" to me to buy a cheap jtag adapter now.
Aug 27 13:22:57 <nbd> parallel port jtag adapters suck
Aug 27 13:23:17 <_trine> but they do work
Aug 27 13:23:25 <mb__> sometimes
Aug 27 13:23:59 <_trine> and they cost next to nothing if you make one with four 100 ohm resisters
Aug 27 13:24:15 <mb__> In my experience they tend to be unreliable. Even those actively driven ones.
Aug 27 13:24:27 <_trine> I would always consider that worth a shot
Aug 27 13:24:46 <mb__> Yeah it's good enough if you need it once a year to debrick a device
Aug 27 13:24:59 <mb__> But I would not consider using one for regular development
Aug 27 13:25:02 <_trine> well yes i can agree with that
Aug 27 13:25:53 <_trine> I use mine about once a year and 4 out of the 4 times was 4 years ago :P
Aug 27 13:26:48 <_trine> they are whats called cheap and cheerful so if they work then all well and good
Aug 27 14:34:23 <lautriv> for what purpose is this openwrt-ifxmips-uImage ?
Aug 27 14:39:22 <lautriv> ok, forget it, found it, confusing about the u
Aug 27 15:27:39 <KanjiMonster> https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7638 and https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/7817 could be closed
Aug 27 16:14:54 <CIA-41> mb * r22822 /packages/Xorg/lib/qt4/ (Config.in Makefile): qt4: Fix non-GUI build
Aug 27 17:09:47 <stintel> anyone any idea why "iw list" gets the allowed channels wrong as soon as I add a second ath9k card in an rspro ? 2x ath9k: http://openwrt.pastebin.com/fmPvitiz - 1x ath9k: http://openwrt.pastebin.com/Jq2wvHGm
Aug 27 17:14:54 <stintel> as a result I am unable to create a dualband AP :/
Aug 27 17:34:50 <builder> build #78 of adm5120 is complete: Success [build successful]  Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/adm5120/builds/78

Aug 27 17:45:16 <CIA-41> batman-adv: adding stability patches
Aug 27 17:45:16 <CIA-41> Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <lindner_marek@yahoo.de>
Aug 27 17:56:39 <KanjiMonster> stintel: do both cards have the same country code (or whatever its called)?
Aug 27 17:57:13 <stintel> KanjiMonster: how would I check that?
Aug 27 17:57:41 <stintel> and I do have the option enabled to override the regdomain
Aug 27 17:57:58 <KanjiMonster> ah, ok, then it shouldn't matter
Aug 27 17:58:07 <stintel> so I fail to see why it shouldn't work :(
Aug 27 18:00:06 <stintel> maybe I will just hack hostapd so it ignores the regulatory stuff
Aug 27 18:00:34 <stintel> crda and all is flakey and annoys the crap out of me
Aug 27 18:06:31 <lautriv> if i erase a flash area and cp something there, i get a message "Flash not erased" but erase reported "done" and are is also unprotected, any reasons ?
Aug 27 18:07:02 <lautriv> s/are is/area is
Aug 27 18:29:49 <xMff> stintel: with crda, all cards are limited to the lowest common denominator
Aug 27 18:30:54 <KanjiMonster> xMff: even when using the user regdomain override?
Aug 27 18:31:02 <xMff> not sure
Aug 27 18:31:12 <stintel> xMff: well both cards alone allow me to use ch36
Aug 27 18:31:12 <xMff> I think in this case you need to change it for each phy (?)
Aug 27 18:31:22 <stintel> so something is wrong
Aug 27 18:32:08 <stintel> and I have option country be for both radios in /e/c/wireless
Aug 27 18:32:20 <xMff> I see, ok
Aug 27 18:32:41 <stintel> so I'm quite puzzled
Aug 27 19:30:23 <_trine> there are quite a few people complaining that their dockstars have had the MAC changed and have been disabled remotely
Aug 27 20:15:20 <CIA-41> jow * r22824 /trunk/package/libreadline/Makefile: [package] libreadline: install *.so symlinks as well (#4872)
Aug 27 20:18:52 <stintel> I guess I should take my issue with crda to linux-wireless or b.k.o ..
Aug 27 20:19:05 <xMff> yes
Aug 27 20:20:16 <stintel> kinda sucks though, finally got everything to build a dualband AP and now there's this bug. first the stupid tplink card, now this
Aug 27 20:20:19 <stintel> like it never ends :)
Aug 27 20:23:21 <stintel> if anyone wants the tplink card let me know, otherwise I'll just throw it away
Aug 27 20:23:57 <stintel> but it's probably kind of useless anyway, old draft-n stuff
Aug 27 20:59:25 <lautriv> someone fiddling on the danube-chips around ?
