I was searching the net on stuff about 23** chips and i found the following post... http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/r19399723-Merakiisnt-that-special
That shows a full dump of the information found in eeprom (i guess that tool is part of athero's suite, well we can always make ath_info do the same ;-) ). After i found this post i tried to find similar dumps from other chipsets and i got this one... http://www.oswave.com/mediawiki/index.php/Eeprom_output So here's what we got: a) We need to get per channel calibration and power information from eeprom so we can be a step closer on fixing tx power support (at least now we know what the values should look like so it won't be that difficult, we also have the offsets etc, we just got to fill the missing bits in eeprom_init). b) We need to find out how these values are used (what we know so far is that they are used to modify RF Buffer -that's something totally obscure for now, we know nothing about rf buffer, what we have is from regdumps-). Here are some infos that might help (after searching on the net): XLNA = eXternal Low Noise Amplifier XPA = eXternal Pre Amplifier OB = Octave Band X Gain = Cross Gain (?) XPD = Cross Polarization Discrimination PGA = Programmable Gain Amplifier Also i found a nice patent from Atheros about 5111/2111 here -> http://www.wipo.int/pctdb/en/wo.jsp?wo=2003092997&IA=WO2003092997&DISPLAY=DESC I haven't read it all but seems informative ;-) -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises. Have Fun ;-) Nick _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
