precision: this bug is obviously also in fedora 8 I have yet to see this patch upstream. Care to prod the Intel folks into posting it? Ah, but it looks like a version of this one has been posted: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=1381 As this: commit 4419e39b6041b213e49bb13fd40fb267de0eb568 Author: Abhijeet Kolekar <abhijeet.kolekar> Date: Mon May 5 10:22:47 2008 +0800 iwlwifi : Set monitor mode for 4965 The patch leverages mac80211 configure_filter to enable iwl4965 monitor mode. Signed-off-by: Abhijeet Kolekar <abhijeet.kolekar> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville> This should be included in the kernels here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=50951 Do those kernels resolve the issue for you? The patch you mention only applys to iwl3945 (id=1381). Can you check if the monitor mode has been included in this version for chipset 4965 (id=1377) => just need to check if iwl4965-base.c / iwl-4965.c are modified according to the patch I reported (I saw the linux-2.6-wireless-pending.patch, and it seems ok) Apparently, these kernels are still not available for F8, am I right ? Any info of when they will be in stable repos ? (Im stuck with a home made kernel at this time) There are both 3945 and 4965 versions of the patch in question. Please note the "4965" in the commit I referenced. :-) The equivalent F8 kernels are available here: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=50974 They are not yet available in the normal yum updates repository. Could you give them a try from Koji? Ok, i'll test the kernel as soon as kmod-nvidia / xorg-x11-drv-nvidia / xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs are available ;) I'll keep you informed, tx for infos/help I can confirm that this bug for monitor mode is fixed by this kernel. No info at the moment about 802.11 ACK packets (10 bytes long) which were dumped in /var/log/messages => It may be correct to. Tx John. I perhaps answered too quickly, because even if the monitor mode worked, I tried two times to connect to my WiFi network, and I got a system freeze ... (kernel panic?) I switched back to my old kernel and I got no troubles (except the ACK packets, which is less important). Kernel in question is: kernel-2.6.25-0.121.rc5.git4 + 4965 monitor patch (id=1377). Im trying to figure if there are valuable informations in the /var/log/messages NB: I can give you kernel-2.6.25-0.121.rc5.git4.fc8.src.rpm I use if it can help (I even kept my rpmbuild env for this kernel) |
