[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]

2015-03-12 Thread Christian Pinto
I confirm what Ivan is experiencing, I am still not able to make a
simple voice call. Hope this will be solved soon.

I saw in the repo two different versions of the firmware, should we try
to test rtl8192eefw_new.bin ?

2015-03-06 Thread Christian Pinto
I am now trying the latest changes in the troy branch, and experiencing
the same behavior as ivanalejandro0. The connection works, but it drops
from time to time. Definitely better than previous versions. This is
anyway annoying because i cannot have a skype call without
interruptions.

Regarding the ips option, I think that it is set as zero by default
(even if modinfo says the opposite), or at least if I execute:

cat /sys/module/rtl8192ee/parameters/ips

it returns N, which I suppose to be 0.

2015-03-03 Thread Christian Pinto
I am using kernel 3.19.0 on a T440s with no luck, the systems hangs and the 
connection speed drops, so at the moment I am using a 10EUR USB wireless card. 
I think I am close to give up and change the wireless card. buldozer2003, have 
you solved the problem by using the Intel card? If yes, can you please provide 
the exact model number so that i can buy the same?


Thanks in advance,
Christian

2015-01-20 Thread Christian Pinto
Thanks again Larry

installing the new driver got better on one sense, but worse on another.


Now testing with iperf i do not see any other speed drop, the connection is 
quite stable. However, i have programmed iperf to go for 500 seconds, but after 
about 300 the connection died at all and in dmesg i read:

[  779.196064] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_del_entry():<0-0> cam_bitmap: 0x2
[  779.196440] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_get_free_entry():<0-0> key_index=0,cam_bitmap: 
0x12 entry_idx=4
[  779.201434] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_del_entry():<0-0> cam_bitmap: 0x10
[  779.201806] rtlwifi:rtl_cam_get_free_entry():<0-0> key_index=1,cam_bitmap: 
0x12 entry_idx=1


Then i had either do disconnect and reconnect to the network, or disable/enable 
the network interface.

In modinfo i also see that the new driver is still using the old
firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw.bin, while in the code i see it should load
rtlwifi/rtl8192eefw_new.bin. Is it just a broken message printed, or is
it really not loading the new firmware?

I hope my messages help you in getting a stable version of the driver. I
am bothering so much because, as most of us, i use my laptop for work
and i need to have a stable wireless connection.

2015-01-19 Thread Christian Pinto
Thanks a lot Larry

i see something strange:

there is an r8192ee and an rtl8192ee module in my system, the former
comes from the staging drivers in the kernel and it is the only actually
being loaded in the system (kernel 3.17). So i am not actually trying
you code.

How can i prevent the staging drivers from being mounted in the system,
and only let the others to be used?

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]

2015-01-19 Thread Christian Pinto
Sorry,

the first of the two is not an error, since the kernel on my machine has
not be compiled with

CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE=y

loading an untrusted module is just tainting the kernel, and the module
is loaded in any case.

Given this, the second warning remains and even installing this new
driver i see the same behavior of speed drop after some time.

As a test i am trying to download a large file from my workstation at my
office (University), where for sure there are no bandwidth problems.


On which card/kernel have you tried the code???

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1239578] Re: No wireless support for Realtek RTL8192EE [10ec:818b]

2015-01-19 Thread Christian Pinto
Hello,

 I Have tried, as suggested, to boot a 3.19 rc4 but the problem of speed
drop is still there. Tested on a Thinkpad T440s + Ubuntu 14.04 +
RTL8192ee.

I have also tried to compile the troy branch, compilation/installation
went well.

Then at boot time i get the following:

[2.143768] rtlwifi: module verification failed: signature and/or  required 
key missing - tainting kernel
[2.144295] rtlwifi: exports duplicate symbol rtl_evm_dbm_jaguar (owned by 
r8192ee)


Is there a way to sign the module without re-compiling the kernel??

Thanks,
Christian
