as much as i can dig into it - hope it helps
SIOCGIWSCAN - kernel handling changed ? struct mismatch ? pls see attachment.

first try
So, after looking at this, it almost looks like we should have been using _LEN
instead of _PK_LEN... In fact making that change certainly fixes the crash on
warren's machine. But it still doesn't properly return SSIDs...
Dan, you did the backports of these patches initially... any idea here? This change brought wireless on my laptop from working to broken. Can we just back this out for now? This is on FC7Blocker. It will be fixed one way or another. There's no point in doing it right now since we aren't getting rawhide updates anyway. Have a machine which reproduces this and dcbw is looking into it. Will back it out after rawhide updates start coming out again and there's no resolution in sight. People can get kernel and wireless-tools straight from koji, so there's plenty of available testers. Can we get this patch backed out until/unless there's a fix pending? This is causing a lot of spurious iwl3945 reports/discussion. if someone told me where / how to get the kernels and wireless-tools straight from koji i'd be happy to test them.... back it out and people don't complain about it - then it doesn't get fixed. bump the priority. We should have rawhide back in a day or two but in the meantime, we can still get updated packages from koji. 1) Go to: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/ 2) hit "Search", search for "kernel" or "wireless-tools". You'll find: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=385 Unfortunately we can't really bump the priority any higher than "urgent FC7Blocker". Release is 18 days away. Unless we have a fix that can be applied, built, distributed, tested, and approved by then, reverting will solve the problem and we can move this bug to F8Blocker. thank you very much Will, at this point i agree with you. great site ... I did: $ sudo rpm --force -Uvh Desktop/wireless-tools-28-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm and rebooted (with wpa_supplicant and NetworkManager on) and i'm submitting this over my wireless. the most recent update does nothing for functionality except break it. backing it out only looses a failed attempt to fix this driver for the x86_64 platform (a majority of laptops these days). * Mon Apr 30 2007 Christopher Aillon <caillon> - 1:28-2 - Backport a few 64bit alignment fixes from the latest betas. and i'm running on an x86_64 platform. this is a golden combination for me so far as i've not had this much success with wifi 3945 on x86_64 and NetworkManager + wpa till now: $ rpm -qa wireless-tools NetworkManager iwlwifi\* wpa_\* NetworkManager-0.6.5-2.fc7.x86_64 iwlwifi-firmware-2.14.1-4.noarch wireless-tools-28-1.fc6.x86_64 wpa_supplicant-0.5.7-2.fc7.x86_64 $ uname -a Linux t60p.local 2.6.21-1.3141.fc7 #1 SMP Sat May 5 20:31:10 EDT 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Couldn't ever get NM to see any wireless networks, even after updating to -3, until I nuked the .i386 packages. Now I can see wireless networks, but like others have reported, the system pretty much goes out to lunch after I try to associate -- keyboard seems to do pretty much nothing in X, but the mouse works enough to reboot the machine cleanly (eventually, sometimes requiring hitting ctrl-alt-delete once I get out of X and into text mode, at which point the keyboard sorta works again). So overall, better, I guess... It sounds like you are referring to problems of the iwl3945 driver itself, not this wireless-tools problem. with -2 # iwlist wlan0 scan Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22 of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20. Some things may be broken... wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 66:54:00:00:00:00 ESSID:"" Segmentation fault with -3: # iwlist wlan0 scan Warning: Driver for device wlan0 has been compiled with version 22 of Wireless Extension, while this program supports up to version 20. Some things may be broken... wlan0 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:11:F5:30:66:54 ESSID:"rtevents" Mode:Master Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz Signal level=-156 dBm Noise level=-176 dBm Encryption key:on Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s 24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s; 9 Mb/s 12 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s Extra:tsf=00000112bfbc7184 So for me this is better, on kernel 2.6.21-1.3142.fc7 x86_64, and the rt2x00 (rt2500) driver. The wireless-tools-28-3.fc7 works equally well for me as previous releases (iow everything still works) this is with an prism54pci driven (prismII softmac) card on an intel mobile pentium III The 64-bit patches should get revisited for a post-F7 update, but this bug is fixed. Although technically, -2 is still broken and always will be which is what this bug summary currently says. Nothing I can do will change the fact that -2 broke x86-64 and I can't actually fix the fact that -2 broke it without going back in time. Changing the summary to reflect intent. |
