Created attachment 32532 [details] logs new wifi&wimax drivers (2.6.35) does not working with intell 5150 wimax\wifi adapter can't do interface up wimax bug - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19352
This is a firmware bug.No sure if it is exactly the same thing as, but it sure does look like: http://linuxwimax.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13 A fix is in the works, but the firmware release ETA is still unknown. As well, I don't know if there is a planned fix for the 5150 firmware that would fix this. Does the bug still happen if you completely blacklist the iwlagn module and reboot?
hm... if i blacklisted i2400m & i2400m_usb iwlagn works fine if i blacklisted iwlagn - nothing positive happens
> if i blacklisted iwlagn - nothing positive happens Was this?: 0.1 killall wimaxd 0.2 wipe logs /var/log/wimax/* and then a.1. blacklist iwlagn a.2. reboot (power cycle) a.3. start wimaxd a.4. nothing positive happens or b.1. blacklist iwlagn b.2. rmmod iwlagan b.3. start wimaxd b.4. nothing positive happens ? Please attach wimax and kernel logs in any case. THanks,
(a) & (b) i mean that both modules does not working in same time bug about i2400 - https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19352 in 2.6.35-r10 all works fine (iwlagn module loading) i2400 does not conflict with iwlagn and don't need to do blacklist i2400 ps: this bug about iwlang not a wimax bug :)
Ok, in a sense, that is expected. The 5150 has a single radio chain that is shared between WiMAX and WiFi. Both cannot be turned ON at the same time. However, it should be possible to have BOTH modules loaded at the same time, as long as only one radio is ON at the same time. This used to work before (at least I have done it). I don't have any 5150s handy now, I need to hunt for one. Can we do this quick test? blacklist iwlagn reboot modprobe i2400m start the daemon turn the radio off (wimaxcu roff) modprobe iwlagn does wifi work?
hi about test: blacklist iwlagn - ok reboot - ok modprobe i2400m - automatic load start the daemon - ok rfkill say that wimax-soft blocked turn the radio off (wimaxcu roff) -nok device UnInitialized modprobe iwlagn - ok :) because https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19352 wimax not working for me
