Just do the following for faster results (i'm doing the same for 5414 stuff)... 1) In if_ath.c always call ath_hal_reset WITHOUT channel change flag so we always get a full reset (documentation is faulty on this, when setting channel_change flag some steps on reset are skiped and we want them on the trace). 2) After that only get the last reset circle (the one before connection -you shouldn't see another reset after that) from ath_hal_reset to the last call to ath_hal_beacontimers (then only rx_monitor/gettsf etc are called). Getting the card to connect somewhere is very usefull for traces, here is what i do... a) enable loging/debug b) modprobe ath_pci c) save log as <rev>-attach.log d) disable loging/empty log/reenable loging e) iwpriv ath0 mode <mode> <- this should result a call to resettxqueue f) save log as <rev>-iwpriv-mode-<mode>.log g) disable loging/empty log/reenable loging h) iwconfig ath0 essid <essid> channel <channel> <- this doesn't result any data on the log i) ifconfig ath0 up j) wait to connect k) disable loging/save log as <rev>-ifup-connected-chan<channel>.log now attach and iwpriv logs are always the same and it's easy to diff them etc, on ifup logs doing 2 helps a lot because last step is what it's interesting to us (untill then card is switching channels etc and this is some extra noise we don't need). On 5212/5213 this should give you about 1300 - 1308 lines (the full reset cycle) that should be easy to diff and see what happens. I'll also look into it ;-) -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
