Hi ! I don't know how to post this, but I used flawlessly the ipw2200-0.8 driver with my Acer Aspire 2012 laptop (but in b mode only as 0.8 don't support g mode) I tried all drivers from 0.9 to 0.15, but none of them worked for me: It apear to corectly associate, but as soon as the card is used, the connection rate drop down to each 1mbit/s, and I have a lot missed beacon. Ping has somethiong like 60-70% packet loss ! So the connection becomes unusable. I also tried to set my AP to use b only , g only or both, but it didn't improved things, also removing wep didn't change things.. If any info is needed, i'll be glad to post it here. Raf
Created an attachment (id=128) [details] Corrects data transfer speeds in 11b networks (CCK modulation) This patch should correct the problem where 11b networks operate very slow. The problem was that we were telling the HW to use ODFM modulation even though we were associated with 11b data rates.
Fixed in 0.16
James seems to have already fixed this in 0.16, but I'm appending the bug scrub log for the purpose of documenting the cause of the bug. <jketreno> if 0.8 is working great, i can figure out what is breaking it <rustyl_> this sounds simular to other complaints <jketreno> yes. it is related to rate selection on the AP <jketreno> i suspect that for some reason OFDM rates aren't working well and it needs to set flags for CCK <jketreno> 0.9 added setting the OFDM flag on Tx packets <rustyl_> ah <jketreno> that's my guess as the cause <rustyl_> but.... <rustyl_> the reporter claims that setting the ap to b-only didn't help <jketreno> so in 0.8 it was only associating at CCK rates <rustyl_> we don't set the OFDM flag on a b-only ap, do we? <jketreno> yup <jketreno> i just checked <jketreno> it doesn't change it based on what its associated with <jketreno> it sets it up during init <rustyl_> ok, I bet the AP uses OFDM even though it is configured as b-only <jketreno> doesn't matter what the AP says <jketreno> we're setting the OFDM flag regardless of what the AP is using <jketreno> that's the problem <jketreno> during init we set the modulation to support OFDM, but we don't restrict that if the associated AP doesn't support OFDM rates <jketreno> then during Tx we flag the packet as using OFDM <jketreno> my guess is that the firmware does a bunch of retries, and eventually rate scales back to CCK <jketreno> which eventually works. but it the next packet then tries again w/ OFDM
Hi ! I tested the patch with the current 0.15 release, it seems to work really good :) It also allows me to connect me at 54Mbps which was impossible before. A big thanks everyone !!! Raf
Hmm, sorry to tell you this, but in fact it doesn't work as good as it seemed.. It works good for 10 minutes or so, then the connection become erratic, and finally the card unassociates from the AP, and I can't get it reconnected unless i do a rmmod, modprobe.. This is for both 11Mbit and 54Mbit. "Tx excessive retries" shows a very high number too like 500.. Raf
Is comment #5 done with 0.16, or with 0.15 + the patch attached to this bug? If you haven't tried it with 0.16, could you try it with 0.16 and let us know if you are seeing the same behavior. If so, when it is unable to associate again, can you up the debug level to 0x3ffff (via echo 0x3fff > /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ipw2200/debug_level) and attach the output from dmesg showing an association attempt?
Hi ! Comment #5 was with 0.15 + patch. I have now installed 0.16: I tried using my AP with b only, gonly , or both. The result is the same, I can associate, use my connection, but I get no high speeds. After downloading 10Mb, from a normally high speed server (300KB/s with 0.8 driver), here is the iwconfig IEEE 802.11g ESSID:"XXX" Nickname:"XXX" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.452 GHz Access Point: 00:09:5B:DA:08:9E Bit Rate=5.5 Mb/s Tx-Power=255 dBm RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:XXXX-XX-XX Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality=64/100 Signal level=-58 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:197 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:2647 And the Bitrate oscillate between 1Mbit/s and 15-18Mbit/s very often (every second or so). Wget report a speed of 25Kb/s for the download. I have no more the association problem, at least it didn't showed up until now (~2 hours of download). Here is the dmesg taken during the download , but I don't know if it is of any use: ipw2200: I ipw_tx_skb Stopping network queue ipw2200: U ipw_wx_get_name Name: IEEE 802.11g ipw2200: U

re-opening to send back to the bug scrub.
What AP are you using? And just to make sure -- you can switch to 0.8 and your transfers go back up, and then switching to 0.16 shows the problem again? Once 0.17 is out (should be later today), please provide the file 'output' from the following script (you can change your wep keys to xxxxx... if you wan't, but don't delete any other messages) . unload dmesg -c > /dev/null . load debug=0x3fff sleep 1 dmesg -c > output Thanks, James
>What AP are you using? It is a Netgear WGR614 (v4) To recap the situation: With 0.8, I can associate to my AP only if it is set in B-only mode. Then I can do everything normally and without problems. With 0.16, the behavior is erratic, sometimes I can't associate at all (even if my ap shows up in a "iwlist eth1 scan"), sometimes it associates, but no I can't transfer anything (even name resolution won't work, and pinging my AP don't work), sometimes it works for a bit like 30 min at an horrible slow speed, then the connection drops and I can't reassociate. Changing the modes (bonly gonly b-g) in the AP change nothing. Where do I put this script ?
Created an attachment (id=180) [details] Output of the debug dmesg v0.18 I just installed O.18, and ran the script replacing unloas and load with rmmod ipw2200 ieeexxxxx and modprobe ipw2200. The O.18 still has the same problems as before (little or no connectivity) Hope it helps Raf
Sending back to bug scrub.
0.19 contains another fix that was affecting throughput on my configuration. Please let us know if 0.19 improves the situation for you (available later today)
Created an attachment (id=209) [details] v0.19 output of proposed script Don't now if it is of any use, but it's the output of the proposed script with 0.19
Hi ! Just tried 0.19 and it seems I can't get it to associate to my AP, even if all parameters are correct. iwlist scan show my AP... Still stuck with 0.8.. See you ! Raf
forgot to reopen
This would be easier to debug/root cause over IRC. Do you have access to irc.freenode.net channel #ipw2100?
Sure i will connect and try to stay there today, i will be named "kikidonk" are you "logics" ?
Created an attachment (id=244) [details] output of 0.22 Output of 0.22 while loading/associating
