Copy the firmware image (e.g. usb8388.bin) to /lib/firmware/ - - o. Load driver by using the following command: - - insmod usb8388.ko [fw_name=usb8388.bin] - -========================= -ETHTOOL -========================= - - -Use the -i option to retrieve version information from the driver. - -# ethtool -i eth0 -driver: libertas -version: COMM-USB8388-318.p4 -firmware-version: 5.110.7 -bus-info: - -Use the -e option to read the EEPROM contents of the card. - - Usage: - ethtool -e ethX [raw on|off] [offset N] [length N] - - -e retrieves and prints an EEPROM dump for the specified ethernet - device. When raw is enabled, then it dumps the raw EEPROM data - to stdout. The length and offset parameters allow dumping cer- - tain portions of the EEPROM. Default is to dump the entire EEP- - ROM. - -# ethtool -e eth0 offset 0 length 16 -Offset Values ------- ------ -0x0000 38 33 30 58 00 00 34 f4 00 00 10 00 00 c4 17 00 - -======================== -DEBUGFS COMMANDS -======================== - -those commands are used via debugfs interface - -=========== -rdmac -rdbbp -rdrf - These commands are used to read the MAC, BBP and RF registers from the - card. These commands take one parameter that specifies the offset - location that is to be read. This parameter must be specified in - hexadecimal (its possible to precede preceding the number with a "0x"). - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/registers/ - - Usage: - echo "0xa123" > rdmac ; cat rdmac - echo "0xa123" > rdbbp ; cat rdbbp - echo "0xa123" > rdrf ; cat rdrf -wrmac -wrbbp -wrrf - These commands are used to write the MAC, BBP and RF registers in the - card. These commands take two parameters that specify the offset - location and the value that is to be written. This parameters must - be specified in hexadecimal (its possible to precede the number - with a "0x"). - - Usage: - echo "0xa123 0xaa" > wrmac - echo "0xa123 0xaa" > wrbbp - echo "0xa123 0xaa" > wrrf - -sleepparams - This command is used to set the sleepclock configurations - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/ - - Usage: - cat sleepparams: reads the current sleepclock configuration - - echo "p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6" > sleepparams: writes the sleepclock configuration. - - where: - p1 is Sleep clock error in ppm (0-65535) - p2 is Wakeup offset in usec (0-65535) - p3 is Clock stabilization time in usec (0-65535) - p4 is Control periodic calibration (0-2) - p5 is Control the use of external sleep clock (0-2) - p6 is reserved for debug (0-65535) - -subscribed_events - - The subscribed_events directory contains the interface for the - subscribed events API. - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/subscribed_events/ - - Each event is represented by a filename. Each filename consists of the - following three fields: - Value Frequency Subscribed - - To read the current values for a given event, do: - cat event - To set the current values, do: - echo "60 2 1" > event - - Frequency field specifies the reporting frequency for this event. - If it is set to 0, then the event is reported only once, and then - automatically unsubscribed. If it is set to 1, then the event is - reported every time it occurs. If it is set to N, then the event is - reported every Nth time it occurs. - - beacon_missed - Value field specifies the number of consecutive missing beacons which - triggers the LINK_LOSS event. This event is generated only once after - which the firmware resets its state. At initialization, the LINK_LOSS - event is subscribed by default. The default value of MissedBeacons is - 60. - - failure_count - Value field specifies the consecutive failure count threshold which - triggers the generation of the MAX_FAIL event. Once this event is - generated, the consecutive failure count is reset to 0. - At initialization, the MAX_FAIL event is NOT subscribed by - default. - - high_rssi - This event is generated when the average received RSSI in beacons goes - above a threshold, specified by Value. - - low_rssi - This event is generated when the average received RSSI in beacons goes - below a threshold, specified by Value. - - high_snr - This event is generated when the average received SNR in beacons goes - above a threshold, specified by Value. - - low_snr - This event is generated when the average received SNR in beacons goes - below a threshold, specified by Value. - -extscan - This command is used to do a specific scan. - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/ - - Usage: echo "SSID" > extscan - - Example: - echo "LINKSYS-AP" > extscan - - To see the results of use getscantable command. - -getscantable - - Display the current contents of the driver scan table (ie. get the - scan results). - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/ - - Usage: - cat getscantable - -setuserscan - Initiate a customized scan and retrieve the results - - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/ - - Usage: - echo "[ARGS]" > setuserscan - - where [ARGS]: - - bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx specify a BSSID filter for the scan - ssid="[SSID]" specify a SSID filter for the scan - keep=[0 or 1] keep the previous scan results (1), discard (0) - dur=[scan time] time to scan for each channel in milliseconds - type=[1,2,3] BSS type: 1 (Infra), 2(Adhoc), 3(Any) - - Any combination of the above arguments can be supplied on the command - line. If dur tokens are absent, the driver default setting will be used. - The bssid and ssid fields, if blank, will produce an unfiltered scan. - The type field will default to 3 (Any) and the keep field will default - to 0 (Discard). - - Examples: - 1) Perform a passive scan on all channels for 20 ms per channel: - echo "dur=20" > setuserscan - - 2) Perform an active scan for a specific SSID: - echo "ssid="TestAP"" > setuserscan - - 3) Scan all available channels (B/G, A bands) for a specific BSSID, keep - the current scan table intact, update existing or append new scan data: - echo "bssid=00:50:43:20:12:82 keep=1" > setuserscan - - 4) Scan for all infrastructure networks. - Keep the previous scan table intact. Update any duplicate BSSID/SSID - matches with the new scan data: - echo "type=1 keep=1" > setuserscan - - All entries in the scan table (not just the new scan data when keep=1) - will be displayed upon completion by use of the getscantable ioctl. - -hostsleep - This command is used to enable/disable host sleep. - Note: Host sleep parameters should be configured using - "ethtool -s ethX wol X" command before enabling host sleep. - - Path: /sys/kernel/debug/libertas_wireless/ethX/ - - Usage: - cat hostsleep: reads the current hostsleep state - echo "1" > hostsleep : enable host sleep. - echo "0" > hostsleep : disable host sleep - |
