[gentoo-user] ipw2200 dmesg error

[gentoo-user] ipw2200 dmesg error

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
  i'm running gentoo on a laptop with a ipw2200 wireless card. I'm
running the current ipw2200 stable version, that is ipw2200-1.0.8-r1.
It is running well but when used i'm seeing in the kernel messages the
following messages:

ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.
ipw2200: Sysfs 'error' log captured.
ipw2200: Firmware error detected.  Restarting.

Is this a known issue of these drivers?

Thanks in advance,
MC

I haven't seen that. I do use ipw2200 and ipw2200-firmware and at least
this driver works and I've not seen such a message like that.

I'm using linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r4.

Sorry I did a dmesg and that message shows for me too... but less times....

I have the same, though I never even noticed. The card works just fine.

BTW, Rafael, if you uploaded your key to the keyserver network, signing
your mail would even make sense :)

I got the same messages; they disappeared when I changed to the
in-kernel modules for the ipw2200.

so let me understand: changing from the ipw2200 external-provided
driver to the in-kernel one solved this issue? Which kernel?
But i thought that the in-kernel driver were older than the driver you
could directly get from the ipw2200 site....

Kernel 2.6.14 included ipw2200 1.0.0, i think.
I once heard, that 2.6.15 will include some "updated" version, but i
have no clue, which one it is.

Yes; the in-kernel version is an older one (it uses an older
firmware). But it solved the problem, and I don't have any issues with
the version in the kernel.

I'm running gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r5.

The server I've tried to upload returned always error 500. Now it is
uploaded. Sorry I absolutely have forgotten to re-upload.

Looks better now :) I've been getting these 500 errors as well in the
last weeks, from several servers. The web interface usually works
though, and subkeys.us.pgp.net even still lets me upload from GPG.

I remember seeing that with older versions of ipw2200, didn't see it
with a not very recent version, and am seeing the one below with the
current ~x86 ones. (I think the one that worked was ipw2200 1.0.2 with
firmware 2.3, I don't have my laptop handy to check.)

The problem, it seems, has been reported:
 For 1.0.8 http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=853
 For 1.0.10 http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=888

To summarize: setting hwcrypt=0 makes connection slightly more stable;
though the firmware error still exists, the connection usually won't
be dropped. And by personal anecdote of the bug reporter, 1.0.10
'seems' to have fewer firmware errors, FWIW.

HTH,

I have the same errors. I use ipw2200-1.0.10 with kernel 2.6.15.

The connections breaks, the card is resseting and then the card works
again. Then connection breaks again, the cards resets again - and so on ...

So there is no continuous connection :-(
That's not what i call "working".

I've had the same a few ago but I've followed the recommandation of disabled
the hwcrypto and now it's ok !!!!!

Hi martin,

i had seen this hint before, and i've also tried it but without
success. After a certain amount of minutes i'll get the same errors
from the kernel......

Try setting hwcrypt=0, allegedly the firmware error still occurs but
the connection won't break with that.

Hi list.
  i think this is a general issue of the ipw2200 drivers since i've
found this site http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/ and lots of people
seems to have the very same problem.
Let's hope the future release will deal with this.

MC

I don't consider this trouble critical. My wireless connection works
perfectly, indeed I haven't noticed that trouble until Marco started
this thread.

I think we shouldn't worry about it too much.

When I transmitted large amounts of data (videos, ISO images etc.) my
connection sometimes died just after an "Firmware error detected. 
Restarting."

With the version in the kernel, the message doesn't appear and the
connection never dies. Maybe they're two unrelated problems, but I'm
not sure.

Hi,

i think you are right, but however we should consider it a bug.... if
not just for flooding my /var/log/messages .....

If you use syslog-ng, you can filter them with something like this in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:

filter bad_msgs {
        not(   match("Firmware error detected.  Restarting.")
            or(match("Sysfs 'error' log*"))
        );
};

log { source(src); filter(bad_msgs); destination(messages); };

I haven't tested the above, but I use something simliar for other
annoying messages, so I think it should work.

I had this error through several iterations of ipw2200 and gentoo-sources.
It went away completely when I loaded genoo-sources-2.6.15. I am using
net-wireless/ipw2200-1.0.8-r1, net-wireless/ipw2200-firmware-2.4, and
net-wireless/ieee80211-1.1.6. I am not using the kernel modules.

Machine is ibm tp-t43.

Good luck to all.

thanks for sharing your experience. I'll keep in my mind when i'll
move to 2.6.15, since now i'm stick with 2.6.14.
