Hi everyone, I am new to hardware hacking and I am looking to get the AR2454 device working in ath5k, however, due to my lack of understanding of the terms used (ie, what is a PHY?), I am finding it very hard to reverse engineer from trace dumps.
I have managed to add mmiotrace to a x86_64 2.6.25 kernel, and used the latest hal from Sam L. to get madwifi working with this device. I have also captured a complete trace and authentication with a WPA protected gateway, and altered the decode perl script to work with the new output format of mmiotrace. I have also produced a dump from the latest ath5k, and I have noticed a few things that seem wrong already... - The AR5K_PCICFG sleep register mask seems to be incorrect... ath5k is checking against 0x1000 where my trace shows checking against 0x10000. I have played around with a copy of ath5k and modified it to work this way, and it seems to be correct (for ar2454) - In my working trace, the value of AR5K_PHY_PLL should be set to 0xeb, which is not the case for ath5k. - When madwifi does a radio init (i think thats what it does), it is setting up PHY(17), but ath5k does not do this. I am not sure if this is a problem as I dont know what a PHY is. If anyone could direct me to some reading material, or send me some info, it would be great as I would love to learn how to do this so I can add the support myself. -Geoff _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
