Apr 18 08:21:28 <Informatic> Marex-N900, maybe you know... I successfuly ran miska's testing kernel, and rootfs [on ext2 partition on card] on my TX. Wifi seems to work, but it's performance is horrible... When card tries to transmit/download much data (for example when I "opkg update") it simply crashes...
Apr 18 08:21:40 <Informatic> And only way to recover is soft reset
Apr 18 08:22:09 <Informatic> in dmesg i have errors like "excessive timeout of command 0x001f" [something like that]
Apr 18 08:22:38 <Informatic> I guess, that's because of too short command timeouts...
Apr 18 08:22:48 <Informatic> but dunno...
Apr 18 08:23:37 <Informatic> [connected with wpa_supplicant to wpa2 network without any problems, also i can ssh my TX, and it works pretty well]
Apr 18 08:24:00 <Marex-N900> fw v4 commands use different number of parameters than fw v5 and above ...
Apr 18 08:24:49 <Marex-N900> thats the problem and needs to be addressed, patches are welcome
Apr 18 08:24:49 <Informatic> So? There isn't any way to repair it?
Apr 18 08:24:56 <Informatic> yes.
Apr 18 08:25:34 <Marex-N900> there is, fix the libertas driver to support passing this depending on firmware
Apr 18 08:26:43 <Informatic> I understand.. Eh. I'm not really experienced with c/kernel-modules programming.
Apr 18 08:27:34 <Marex-N900> you can give it a go ...
Apr 18 08:27:39 <Informatic> Marex-N900, so fw in tx's marvell chip is v5, ye?
Apr 18 08:27:44 <Informatic> i will at least try :)
Apr 18 08:28:08 <Marex-N900> 88w8381 has fw v4!
Apr 18 08:28:44 <Informatic> Okay, okay.. So libertas is for v5, and tx has v4?
Apr 18 08:29:07 <Marex-N900> v5 and above, but yes
Apr 18 08:29:52 <Informatic> Thanks, i will look around, and try to do something with it..
