Hi all,
Today I stumbled across a dirt cheap (~6 EUR) wireless + bluetooth
combo USB device. Turns out the wireless part is supported (it's a
zyd(4)) :
uhub3 at uhub0 port 1 "Genesys Logic USB2.0 Hub" rev 2.00/6.0b addr 2
zyd0 at uhub3 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0 "ZyDAS USB2.0 WLAN" rev
2.00/43 .30 addr 3
ubt0 at uhub3 port 4 "SiW SiW" rev 1.10/15.00 addr 4
zyd0: HMAC ZD1211, FW 46.05, RF RFMD, PA 0, address 00:11:f6:7e:fe:d8
However, when using the card I get lots of these :
zyd0: xfer too short (length=22)
zyd0: frame too short (length=22)
zyd0: frame too short (length=4)
zyd0: xfer too short (length=8)
zyd0: xfer too short (length=24)
zyd0: xfer too short (length=11)
zyd0: xfer too short (length=6)
etc.
This errormessage is not described in the manpage and looking at the
source, all I see is that they're generated when receiving frames.
(zyd_rxeof and zyd_rx_data). Rate of error seems to be correlated to
the load on the nic, but not completely. Could this be a faulty nic
(maybe the reason why it's so damn cheap) or is something else going
on ?
If anybody is interested, I could send one of these their way.
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
