Hi Larry :) Im afraid I didnt receive your answer to my last email.. in
case you sent, please resend, thanks :)
As for "dissecting" the issue, as you suggested, I have been filling
your code with debug lines.
Very interesting in my opinion is the report from
drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl8187_configure_filter(),
as follows:
IN>changed_flags=240,total_flags=2147483888,multicast=0,priv->rx_conf=2425682954
FIF_CONTROL
FIF_OTHER_BSS
not FIF_ALLMULTI
drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl818x_iowrite32_async
drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl8187_iowrite_async
OUT>total_flags=96,priv->rx_conf=2426207243
Please do not dump pointers, flags, etc. as a decimal value. In most cases, you
need to hexadecimal value to interpret them. Why not output them in hex to begin
with?
.. after, some daemon calls it again multiple times, but result is
always the same as follows:
IN>changed_flags=144,total_flags=2147483888,multicast=0,priv->rx_conf=2426207243
not FIF_ALLMULTI
drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl818x_iowrite32_async
drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl8187_iowrite_async
net/mac80211/util.c#ieee80211_queue_work
OUT>total_flags=96,priv->rx_conf=2426207243
.. seeing anything unusual?
I have the strange feeling that "IN" value of priv->rx_conf could be
bugged.. as result the relative OUT value is maybe wrong.. :P
Anyway, could you please perform the same test on your working
interfaces, and report me the output?
The values of IN/OUT and so on, of rtl8187_configure_filter(), *AFTER*
calling "airmon-ng start wlan0"?
If you want me to test anything, you need to send me patches that I can apply.
Having to regenerate your patches here is something I have no interest in doing.
From your probe, my interface type is as follow:
- "RTL8187vB (default)"
- PCI_EEPROM_WIDTH_93C46
- customer id 0
Please insert the following debug lines, as I did:
static void rtl8187_configure_filter()
{
printk(KERN_WARNING
"drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187/dev.c#rtl8187_configure_filter");
struct rtl8187_priv *priv = dev->priv;
printk(KERN_WARNING
"IN>changed_flags=%u,total_flags=%u,multicast=%llu,priv->rx_conf=%u",changed_flags,*total_flags,multicast,priv->rx_conf);
if (changed_flags & FIF_FCSFAIL) {
priv->rx_conf ^= RTL818X_RX_CONF_FCS;
printk(KERN_WARNING ">FIF_FCSFAIL");}
if (changed_flags & FIF_CONTROL) {
priv->rx_conf ^= RTL818X_RX_CONF_CTRL;
printk(KERN_WARNING ">FIF_CONTROL");}
if (changed_flags & FIF_OTHER_BSS) {
priv->rx_conf ^= RTL818X_RX_CONF_MONITOR;
printk(KERN_WARNING ">FIF_OTHER_BSS");}
if (*total_flags & FIF_ALLMULTI || multicast > 0) {
priv->rx_conf |= RTL818X_RX_CONF_MULTICAST;
printk(KERN_WARNING ">FIF_ALLMULTI");}
else {
priv->rx_conf &= ~RTL818X_RX_CONF_MULTICAST;
printk(KERN_WARNING ">not FIF_ALLMULTI");}
rtl818x_iowrite32_async(priv, &priv->map->RX_CONF,
priv->rx_conf);
printk(KERN_WARNING
"OUT>total_flags=%u,priv->rx_conf=%u",*total_flags,priv->rx_conf);
}
If you get different outputs also between your interfaces, please send
me all different outputs!
thanks :)
Larry
