This chip is for example used in the GuruPlug. This patch avoids the following error: libertas_sdio: failed to load firmware libertas_sdio: probe of mmc0:0001:1 failed with error -5 The fix is based on code in: drivers/net/wireless/libertas_uap/uap_sdio_mmc.c This file can for example be found on the following links: http://www.xilka.com/sheeva/2.6/2.6.36/2.6.36.2/source/0002-Driver-for-Marvell-Libertas-8688-SDIO-micro-AP-suppo-2.6.35.patch http://www.downloadsnewit.co.uk/kernel-v3.0.7/ I followed the following wiki to setup a working WiFi client mode connection on the GuruPlug: http://wiki.debian.org/libertas Signed-off-by: Harro Haan <hrhaan@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_sdio.c | 39 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 1 file changed, 30 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) Index: linux.git/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_sdio.c =================================================================== --- linux.git.orig/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_sdio.c +++ linux.git/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/if_sdio.c @@ -588,17 +588,38 @@ static int if_sdio_prog_real(struct if_s size = fw->size; while (size) { - ret = if_sdio_wait_status(card, FW_DL_READY_STATUS); - if (ret) - goto release; + timeout = jiffies + HZ; + while (1) { + ret = if_sdio_wait_status(card, FW_DL_READY_STATUS); + if (ret) + goto release; - req_size = sdio_readb(card->func, IF_SDIO_RD_BASE, &ret); - if (ret) - goto release; + req_size = sdio_readb(card->func, IF_SDIO_RD_BASE, + &ret); + if (ret) + goto release; + + req_size |= sdio_readb(card->func, IF_SDIO_RD_BASE + 1, + &ret) << 8; + if (ret) + goto release; + + /* + * For SD8688 wait until the length is not 0, 1 or 2 + * before downloading the first FW block, + * since BOOT code writes the register to indicate the + * helper/FW download winner, + * the value could be 1 or 2 (Func1 or Func2). + */ + if ((size != fw->size) || (req_size > 2)) + break; + if (time_after(jiffies, timeout)) { + ret = -ETIMEDOUT; + goto release; + } + mdelay(1); + } - req_size |= sdio_readb(card->func, IF_SDIO_RD_BASE + 1, &ret) << 8; - if (ret) - goto release; /* lbs_deb_sdio("firmware wants %d bytes\n", (int)req_size); */ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
