run(4) raspberry pi dongle



I've had a go at supporting a "Raspberry Pi USB WiFi Dongle", which in this
incarnation appears to be a

run0: Ralink 802.11 n WLAN, rev 2.00/1.01, addr 6
run0: MAC/BBP RT5390 (rev 0x0502), RF RT5370 (MIMO 1T1R), address 44:33:44:33:4f

(=> mac_ver = 0x5390)

It comes up with:

run0: flags=0x8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        ssid ""
        powersave off
        address: 44:33:44:33:4f:a5
        media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS1)
        status: no network
        inet6 fe80::4633:44ff:fe33:4fa5%run0/64 flags 0x0 scopeid 0x4

i.e., "microcode successfully loaded after 0 tries"

But then e.g., wanctl -a shows no networks:

run0: mac 44:33:44:33:4f:a5 bss 00:00:00:00:00:00
        node flags 0001<bss>
        ess <>
        chan 0 freq 0MHz flags 0000
        capabilities 0000
        beacon-interval 0 TU tsft 0 us
        rates [1.0] 2.0 5.5 11.0 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
        assoc-id 0 assoc-failed 0 inactivity 300s
        rssi 0 txseq 14 rxseq 0

The only error I see is:

tx mixer gain=0 (2GHz)                (Is zero bad?)
invalid LNA for channel group 2
invalid LNA for channel group 3

Is that just a warning or the error that needs fixing which will make
everything OK? (I think LNA = low-noise amplifier)

I have essentially been cargo-culting from OpenBSD/FreeBSD drivers - is
there some actual documentation?


I tried building a rump lib with the most basic cut and paste Makefile/ioconf
and hit:

  multiple definition of `rumpns_run_cd'

I don't think I should have seen:

# nm -g obj.amd64/if_run.o | grep run_cd
0000000000000060 D rumpns_run_cd

if anyone has a quick suggestion?


Debug output, apart from the LNA seems OK?
