18:09.06 | jblinux | florian: Hi florian! |
18:09.20 | florian | jblinux: hi, what's up? |
18:10.40 | jblinux | florian: been having trouble getting the orinoco silver card to work as what I need. Couldn't get a driver that will do AP scanning, report infomration such as signal strengths |
18:12.40 | jblinux | florian: any idea which driver out there I could achieve that? Got a iPAQ 3630, if that helps... |
18:13.03 | florian | jblinux: hmm, the silver cards should work with orinoco_cs quite well. i'm not shure if it's able to do active scanning... but passive (including monitor) should work quite well. |

18:14.53 | florian | jg_: hello |
18:15.09 | jg_ | florian: hi |
18:15.17 | jblinux | florian: scan all the avaiables |
18:15.36 | jblinux | florian: I was trying to get some that mwvlan could do.... |
18:17.04 | florian | jblinux: ok, this i din't ever try - use the orinoco_cs from familiar, this includes the monitor patch. if you want to compile the most recent version you need the monitor patch for it... |
18:17.28 | jblinux | florian: orinoco_cs works great for my card. |
18:17.40 | jblinux | florian: and it does have monitor mode |
18:17.51 | pb_ | hi florian |
18:18.07 | florian | hi pb_ |
18:18.21 | pb_ | hi jg_ |
18:19.17 | florian | pb_: would you like to do a small check of hostap_cs? |
18:19.19 | jg_ | pb_: ho. |
18:19.27 | florian | jblinux: correct |
18:19.31 | pb_ | florian: sure, just tell me what to do. |
18:20.52 | florian | pb_: i assume it's the wlan0 device... |
18:21.02 | florian | pb_: ifconfig wlan0 up |
18:21.19 | pb_ | yup |
18:21.52 | florian | pb_: iwconfig wlan0 mode monitor |
18:22.07 | florian | pb_: iwconfig wlan0 channel 1 |
18:22.51 | florian | pb_: if no error messages so far, repeat last step with other channels |
18:22.54 | pb_ | ok |
18:23.16 | pb_ | it doesn't like the "channel" command. |

18:23.24 | pb_ | ~ # |
18:23.49 | jblinux | florian: from kismetwireless, it seems I will be able to scan SSIDs around with channel_hopping, but monitor mode doesn't seem to measure signal strengths well (http://www.kismetwireless.net/Forum/General/Messages/1051021867.932186). Any idea how mwvlan's implemenatition is different? |
18:24.49 | florian | hmm... this should be the same message that you get running gpe-aerial, right? |
18:25.10 | pb_ | yep, looks the same. |
18:25.18 | jblinux | florian: gpe-aerial? |
18:26.10 | florian | jblinux: a wireless lan lool for gpe. it's designed to find and select a desired wireless lan. |
18:29.10 | florian | jblinux: i din't read the whole thread so far, but a part of the info you get from kismt should be from the header added by the card. this contains a signal strength info... let me look how this works in prismstumbler.... |
18:29.36 | jblinux | florian: thanks florian. |
18:30.04 | florian | pb_: try to switch to ad-hoc mode and try to change channel here... |
18:31.27 | florian | jblinux: no problem :-) |
18:32.10 | jblinux | florian: also, I've been very interested in mwvlan or mwavelan_cs because there is actually an API that could come with it...it kinda helps alot since I could do scanning and uses those values right as a part of my program. |
18:35.35 | florian | jblinux: don't they use the standard linux wireless api? |
18:38.43 | jblinux | florian: I don't know about the standard wireless api, but this one is call MAPI so I suppose it's different? (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~moustafa/mapi/mapi.html) |
18:42.03 | florian | jblinux: i think this should work "wireless extensions" is what i meant - this is supportet by orinoco_cs. |
18:45.51 | pb_ | florian: ah, selecting monitor mode seems to have crashed the card. |
18:45.55 | pb_ | looks like I need to reboot. |
18:46.19 | pb_ | not really good news, I guess. |
18:46.23 | jblinux | florian: I did iwpriv eth0 and it's got monitor mode....not ones shown (http://www.cs.umd.edu/~moustafa/mwvlan/examples.txt) ap_scan and such |
18:46.32 | florian | pb_: the same like with the old driver with my 3800 |
18:47.03 | pb_ | florian: ah. |
18:47.19 | pb_ | well, sounds like hostap_cs still isn't really usable for scanning, which is a shame. |

18:48.40 | algogr | Hello, i am new here. Is there any problem with sound on ipaq3950 |
18:48.55 | pb_ | algogr: recording doesn't work on h3900, but playback should be ok. |
18:49.30 | florian | jblinux: i think they use active scanning which is not supported by much drivers or cards. |
18:49.47 | algogr | do you know if they are going to fix it? |
18:50.09 | pb_ | algogr: yeah, we know what the fix is now, just a case of finding time to implement it. |
18:50.22 | pb_ | you could try Christian Pellegrin's alsa driver, which should work with recording already. |
18:50.22 | algogr | thanks |
18:50.39 | algogr | where can i find it? |
18:51.38 | florian | jblinux: you'll need to collect this data manually i think... what kind of software do you write? |
18:52.21 | jblinux | florian: positioning system using wifi... |
18:52.53 | jblinux | florian: do you mean it's still doable with orinoco_cs ? |

18:53.03 | pb_ | algogr: not sure, try google. |
18:53.16 | algogr | pb_: Thanks |
18:53.26 | jblinux | florian: thanks, but I already stuck at the first stage :( |
18:53.32 | florian | jblinux: shure... are you afraid of bad c source code? |
18:54.25 | jblinux | florian: I don't mind...as long as it could help :) |
18:56.16 | florian | jblinux: then check out apps/prismstumbler from handhelds cvs or grab an old tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/prismstumbler |
18:56.48 | jblinux | florian: also, there is a pre-compiled mwvlan-modules ipk that is in familiar 0.7. Tried that, didn't work... |
18:57.45 | florian | jblinux: the file iface-wlan-14.c will teach you how to handle the card and pcap and analyzer.c how to get the info from these packages. |
18:58.05 | florian | jblinux: you'll only need a very small subset of this. |
18:58.41 | jblinux | florian: atm, I just need ESSID and signal strength |
18:59.42 | florian | jblinux: yep, this is easy - with the struct in analyzer.h you'll be able to read it direct from the package. |
19:18.16 | jblinux | florian: for the iface-wlan-14.c....looks as if there isn't much change except replacing wlan0 with my the wireless alias (in my case, eth0) ? |
19:20.29 | jblinux | is the header for orinoco supposed to be the same as DLT_PRISM_HEADER? |
19:20.40 | florian | jblinux: yep, i think that's it... maybe remove this wlan-ng stuff. |
19:21.29 | florian | jblinux: yep, the orinoco driver creates the same header like the prism card... |
19:23.24 | jblinux | florian: yeah. the src seems need to be compiled with driver source....what should I do with it? |
19:25.29 | florian | jblinux: you'll only need the linux includes unless you are not using wlan-ng |

22:11.35 | pb_ | yeah, I'll probably be around tomorrow. |
22:11.43 | pb_ | no news on the power management thing as far as I know. |
22:11.51 | nils__ | pb_: Great, thanks! |
22:11.57 | pb_ | It seems to be intermittent, which makes it harder to debug. |
22:12.24 | nils__ | pb_: Don't know if Floprian mentioned already, he put his 3870 on a AC/DC adaptor with an amp-meter... |
22:12.42 | nils__ | pb_: Looked pretty desastrous :( |
22:13.08 | pb_ | Yeah, he did mention that. It's hard to know how accurate external power measurements are, though it did seem rather high. |
22:13.15 | nils__ | pb_: Peaks of up to 90mA in suspend mode, even with periods >> 2 secs of that drainage... |
22:13.15 | *** join/#gpe AntiProxy (Admin@AntiProxy.com) |
22:13.20 | pb_ | We should find out how to measure the current internally. |
22:13.26 | AntiProxy | hi everyone |
22:13.35 | pb_ | nils__: Oh, really? I hadn't heard it was that bad. |
22:13.42 | nils__ | Simply cut off the battery and replace with power source? |
22:14.08 | florian | Let's try to find out monday... |
22:14.13 | pb_ | nils__: apparently there is a zero-ohm shunt on the motherboard that you can replace with a current sense resistor. |
22:14.34 | florian | I'm not really afraid of opening my iPaq :-) |
22:15.35 | florian | pb_: Any idea where exactly this is? |
22:16.30 | pb_ | florian: Not really, but one of the CRL guys could tell you. Maybe jg knows, otherwise ask Jamey or Andy on Monday. |
22:18.38 | florian | pb_: ok, i'll do that.. this can't be too hard to find out otherwise... |
22:19.15 | pb_ | Okay, cool. |
22:20.13 | nils__ | The more important part is to get to know more about the insides of the machine and which part especially might be guilty. Just finding that there is a drainage is only half the truth. |
22:20.40 | pb_ | Maybe I should add an option to the PM code to have it behave the same with AC on and off. That might make it easier to see what's going on, without the periodic wake-ups and LED confusing the issue. |
22:20.43 | nils__ | And concerning hardware specs and docs it seems to be quite difficult to get hold of. |
22:21.20 | pb_ | nils__: I think most of the specs are available if you ask for them. I didn't have too much trouble getting hold of h3900 and h5450 documentation. |
22:21.45 | nils__ | pb_: Oh really? That would be great! |
22:22.12 | pb_ | unfortunately, I don't have any data on the ASIC pair in the h3800, which I suspect is where the problem lies. |
22:22.33 | nils__ | Apparently only the 38x and 39x seem to be affected by this problem :( My old 3600 behaves quite OK though it also sucks ~30mA in standby. |
22:23.05 | nils__ | pb_: You think it's the ASIC? I more thought on the SDRAM side. I know that this can suck a lot! |
22:23.08 | pb_ | Yes, indeed. |
22:23.44 | nils__ | pb_: I cannoot image how the ASIC could draw that much power. Though I have to admit that I have no clear idea what this beast is used for... |
22:24.21 | nils__ | pb_: s/image/imagine :) |
22:24.23 | pb_ | nils__: well, the SDRAM is handled identically on h3600 and h3800, whereas it differs between h3800 and h3900. Also, when the CPU goes into suspend, the SDRAM controller is automatically stopped. The only likely failure mode there would be the SDRAM not entering self-refresh, which would have the opposite effect: low power consumption but loss of DRAM contents. |
22:24.56 | nils__ | pb_: True... hmmm ... |
22:25.01 | herzi | nils__: are you going to the linuxtag in karlsruhe? |
22:25.11 | nils__ | herzi: Sure! |
22:25.28 | pb_ | nils__: could be that it is failing to drive all signals to the right state when entering suspend. If one of the ASIC's outputs remains high, but the circuitry it is connected to is powered down, the output transistor will try to power the connected device through its input protection diodes. |
22:25.30 | herzi | nils__: will there be a gpe booth? |
22:26.21 | nils__ | nils__: I don't know yet. I will try to ask Joey and others about it. I hope it is not too late to get a corner! |
22:26.23 | pb_ | nils__: conversely, if an input on a device that remains powered is allowed to float, it can oscillate and cause the device to draw excessive current. |
22:27.31 | florian | pb_: i'm playing with your new hostap_cs... look like it oopses after a failing to init the card... |
22:28.04 | nils__ | pb_: All I know is that this effect does not show imediately. It seems to be connected to the battery level somehow. A fully charged device does keep up until it reaches a certain drain level. After that it looses power very rapidly. |
22:28.54 | nils__ | pb_: A little bit of random is in there too because it does not happen all the time so floating pins might be worth closer inspection. |
22:44.29 | florian | pb_: hostap_cs dies after refusing to init the card. there was the usual "ignore-cis-vcc=1" setting missing. |
22:44.52 | pb_ | florian: aha. |
22:46.34 | florian | pb_: This setting should be a part of the module package like for orinoco_cs... |
