Firmware error for Centrino N 2230

Firmware error for Centrino N 2230

[Cedric GROSS]

Hello,

I’m trying to adapt current freebsd driver for supporting my 2230 NIC.

I try to follow ucode command order defined in kernel 3.2 but I reach some
difficulties because firmware raise error.

Runtime uCode is alive. So far I sent calib result (cmd xB0), configured
advanced BT coexistence (cmd x9B,xCC and xCD) running runtime calib (cmd
x65) but the command configuring valid chain (cmd x65) failed as the result
below : 
CSR values: (2nd byte of IWN_INT_COALESCING is IWN_INT_PERIODIC)
  IWN_HW_IF_CONFIG: 0x00800302   IWN_INT_COALESCING: 0x0000ff40     
IWN_INT: 0x04000000
  IWN_INT_MASK: 0x00000000   IWN_FH_INT: 0x00000000   IWN_GPIO_IN:

firmware error log:

What I’m missing ?
What is meaning of firmware error ?

Many thanks for your help.

What distro?
If this is Debian or Ubuntu, this is not a vanilla but distro-patched
kernel-version.

Can you provide more infos?
Your kernel-config file, dmesg output, name of loaded firmware file, etc.

Did you check for newer firmware files (see [1])?

Did you try a higher kernel-release?

I'm working on freeBSD. So it's not a linux distro ;)

For firmware : iwlwifi-2030-18.168.6.1.fw

For the rest, I can send you what you wish, but it's not a linux output.

Doesn't apply ;)

Hmmm, why are you asking on a Linux ML and miss to tell you are on FreeBSD?
Better ask on a FreeBSD ML.

Seems to be the latest fw for you:

Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 | 3.2+ | iwlwifi-2030-ucode-18.168.6.1.tgz

Not sure if this is really helpful.
Anyway, full logs seem sometimes to be more interesting.

I cannot help you - just giving general/common aid.

cmd 0x65? it is not valid chain command.

1987 means that you haven't sent the Xtal calibration.

Yep was typo, it's 0x98.

Many many many thanks. I will check that tomorrow.

FreeBSD driver for intel wireless card is a bit old and need a lot of
improvement to manage new NIC.
Is there a way to get all assert code meaning ? It could be really a big big
help for me.

Best regards

Unfortunately not, but have you seen the "iwl" FreeBSD driver that we 
posted a while ago? That should help you some. Are you in contact with 
anyone else maybe?

I get this version of iwl : https://github.com/seanbruno/freebsd-iwl
But this one also doesn't work with my card. I also trying to modify for my NIC. For the moment I had a failure at the first RXON command.

I'm in contact only with Hiren Panchasara (hiren@freebsd.org).
I wrote to ilw at linux.intel.com also but no answer for the moment.
