[WEXT]: multiple calls for SIOCGIWSTATS return same value

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A problem has been found in recent kernels where multiple
calls using SIOCGIWSTATS return the same, identical value.

This behaviour is observable both using 'iwconfig <dev>'
and wavemon info screen, where it was reported in [1].

It looks as if this is a WEXT issue, since on the same 
system multiple 'iw dev <devname> station dump' calls
return different signal level values.

I can confirm the behaviour on davem 4.1.0-rc6 net tree
at commit c46a024ea5, it has been reported on [1] for 
fedora 21 with kernel-4.0.4-201/2 as well.

That report also stated that the behaviour does not occur
on kernel-3.19.7-200. Have not had time to bisect yet.

Thanks for any hints that can help resolve this.
