RTL 8185

RTL 8185

[Barkle]

Hi,

I have a pci-card with a RTL8185 chip.
[01:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8185 
IEEE 802.11a/b/g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 20)]

Base on a Debian Lenny with
kernel 2.6.30-rc5
wpasupplicant v0.6.9
wireless_tools 30

I can change some parameter on the card with iwconfig, for example the 
channel, but every time I try to get the card to work, the kernel freeze.

Now I´m not sure, if this mailinglist is the right one, because it may 
be a problem of the hardware, the kernel or some userland tools.

If you need any additional information, please ask me an I try to answer 
asap.


Thanks.

Yes, this is the right list - a few things:
1) dmesg should show a few line of info, including a line like this:

wlan0: hwaddr XX:XX:XX:XX;XX:XX <chip_name> + <rf_type>

we need at least that line, and anything else that's relevant in dmesg.

2) what do you mean by 'kernel freeze'? e.g. if you do it without X,
do you get a pile of
cryptic messages before lock up (if that's the case)? If there is, try
to take a picture of it with a digital camera;
if you computer is still operational, please cut-and-paste that to the reply.

Also, describe what exactly did you try to do, step by step.

3) have you tried compat-wireless? compat-wireless is ahead of
2.6.30-rcX and occasionally have fixes to bugs which creeps into the
rc's...

Have a look in the appended file "dmesg_2009-05-25.txt" and it's not 
wlan0, it's phy0.
I hope, I haven't cut off too much .

> 2) what do you mean by 'kernel freeze'?

There is no more reaktion, no change by pressing num-lock, caps-lock or 
scroll-lock. No answer on a ping. What I didn't tested is the "magic SysRq".

The computer should work as a server, only with the minimalistic program 
installt. So there is no X11

> do you get a pile of cryptic messages before

No, just no reaktion.

After booting the system a call of the following line is enough:

wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf 
-W -dd

The result is:

OK, no I didn't tried the compat-wireless so far..
It will take a while, when I got an result of the change.

You have removed almost everything that might be useful... e.g. it is
not possible to tell even if you have a 32-bit CPU or a 64-bit CPU for
sure (although it *looks* like a 64-bit system), dual core/SMP or
single CPU, and what else is on your PCI bus. Is that really
necessary??? Very few people are telepathic, you know... at least I
don't know of any.

And any last minute syslog, etc in your log files after you power-cycle?

If you are not using any encryption (WEP/WPA, etc), there is no need
to run wpa_supplicant. Also, what's in /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log ?
In fact you should shutdown network manager and wpa_suplicant and
probably dbus as well.


> No entry in the syslog

Again you have edited away your CPU type, and, since you are trying to
see what's wrong with your wireless device, you really should disable
dhcp against your wired networking interface.

Please gIve compat-wireless a go.

You have edited away any useful info in your dmesg and syslog, so
there is nothing to tell. Why did you do that?

Sorry, here is one komplett cycle begining with the restart, all from 
00:28:35 to 00:28:35
The next line beginning with 00:32:58 is the next reboot after a freeze.

I need encryption, but it doesn't matter if I use the right values. The 
result is the same.

There is no networkmanager working.
The wpa_supplicant is needed for encryption
How can I switch off the dbus?

Please be a little pacient with me. I work on it.
Do you need any further information?

Look, your wpa_supplicant config says you are not using encryption, so
there is no need to use it at all (or did you edit that out as
well)??? If you keep editing out info nobody can help you...

I am asking to a 2nd time - try compat-wireless. Despite what you
might believe, the latest rc kernel does not give you the latest
wireless driver code; the latest compat-wireless does. It takes only a
few minutes to install (it just replaces the 50 wireless related
kernel modules.

Since you have a 32-bit intel CPU, if you don't mind downgrade the
kernel back to about 2.6.26 or 2.6.24, you might consider switching to
the realtek vendor driver. It is a bit ugly but it works well enough
with older kernels on 32-bit intel platforms. The code is on realtek's
web site.
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=1&PFid=1&Level=6&Conn=5&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

You also have the choice of using ndiswrapper, on 32-bit intel platforms.

Hmm, later ... may be.

No this is no optinion, because the windows-driver is not as stable as I 
want.

After commenting out in the file "config.mk" the line
#CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
the code compiles without an error.
Then "make install", reboot and "wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0
-c/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -W -dd" => kernel freeze.

What else can I do?
Where can I see which version of the driver are used?

Hmm, your kernel config did not seem to have LEDS_TRIGGER defined.
That's a problem with non-distro custom-rolled kernel... For that
matter, which bits of the kernel did you build as modules and which
compiled in? I guess I need the output of these two commands:

    lsmod
    find /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates

Hmm, can you *not* run wpa_supplicant? This is about the 3rd time I
asked - if you are not using encryption, you don't need
wpa_supplicant. You should be doing just 'ifconfig wlan0 up', and
'ifconfig wlan0' and 'iwconfig wlan0' and see what they say. And do
*not* do it in X - if there is any last minute crash message, it would
be in the text console and you should be better doing these in
run-level 3.

> What else can I do?

There isn't really a 'version' for the driver - it entered the kernel
about a year and half ago, and only a few people had worked on it
since, and not in any major way.

After "ifconfig wlan0 up" the system freeze
It's just every time the interface has to work, it's gonna freeze. It 
doesn't matter if I use wpa_supplicant or ifupdown (which invokes at 
last wpa_supplicant, so far as I know, on the debian system)

I can use " /etc/modprobe.d/rtl8185" to set the regulatory domain 
"options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU"
I can use "iwconfig wlan0 channel 6", that works (and some ather stuff).

Hmm, try to disable any devices on the pci bus which you don't use
with setpci <id> command=0 before anything else.
