BT Commands:
|
|
The blinding table (BT) contains a list of mac addresses that should be
|
|
ignored by the firmware. It is primarily used for debugging and
|
|
testing networks. It can be edited and inspected with the following
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX bt_reset
|
|
iwpriv ethX bt_add <mac_address>
|
|
iwpriv ethX bt_del <mac_address>
|
|
iwpriv ethX bt_list <id>
|
|
|
|
FWT Commands:
|
|
The forwarding table (FWT) is a feature used to manage mesh network
|
|
routing in the firmware. The FWT is essentially a routing table that
|
|
associates a destination mac address (da) with a next hop receiver
|
|
address (ra). The FWT can be inspected and edited with the following
|
|
iwpriv commands, which are described in greater detail below.
|
|
Eventually, the table will be automatically maintained by a custom
|
|
routing protocol.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: FWT commands replace the previous DFT commands. What were the DFT
|
|
commands?, you might ask. They were an earlier API to the firmware that
|
|
implemented a simple MAC-layer forwarding mechanism. In the unlikely
|
|
event that you were using these commands, you must migrate to the new
|
|
FWT commands which can be used to achieve the same functionality.
|
|

|
|
|
|
MESH Commands:
|
|
|
|
The MESH commands are used to configure various features of the mesh
|
|
routing protocol. The following commands are supported:
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX mesh_get_ttl
|
|
iwpriv ethX mesh_set_ttl ttl
|
|
|

fwt_add
|
|
This command is used to insert an entry into the FWT table. The list of
|
|
parameters must follow the following structure:
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_add da ra [metric dir ssn dsn hopcount ttl expiration sleepmode snr]
|
|
|
|
The parameters between brackets are optional, but they must appear in
|
|
the order specified. For example, if you want to specify the metric,
|
|
you must also specify the dir, ssn, and dsn but you need not specify the
|
|
hopcount, expiration, sleepmode, or snr. Any unspecified parameters
|
|
will be assigned the defaults specified below.
|
|
|
|
The different parameters are:-
|
|
da -- DA MAC address in the form 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
|
ra -- RA MAC address in the form 00:11:22:33:44:55
|
|
metric -- route metric (cost: smaller-metric routes are
|
|
preferred, default is 0)
|
|
dir -- direction (1 for direct, 0 for reverse,
|
|
default is 1)
|
|
ssn -- Source Sequence Number (time at the RA for
|
|
reverse routes. Default is 0)
|
|
dsn -- Destination Sequence Number (time at the DA
|
|
for direct routes. Default is 0)
|
|
hopcount -- hop count (currently unused, default is 0)
|
|
ttl -- TTL (Only used in reverse entries)
|
|
expiration -- entry expiration (in ticks, where a tick is
|
|
1024us, or ~ 1ms. Use 0 for an indefinite
|
|
entry, default is 0)
|
|
sleepmode -- RA's sleep mode (currently unused, default is
|
|
0)
|
|
snr -- SNR in the link to RA (currently unused,
|
|
default is 0)
|
|
|
|
The command does not return anything.
|
|
|
|
fwt_del
|
|
This command is used to remove an entry to the FWT table. The list of
|
|
parameters must follow the following structure:
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_del da ra [dir]
|
|
|
|
where the different parameters are:-
|
|
da -- DA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
ra -- RA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
dir -- direction (1 for direct, 0 for reverse,
|
|
default is 1)
|
|
|
|
The command does not return anything.
|
|
|
|
fwt_lookup
|
|
This command is used to get the best route in the FWT table to a given
|
|
host. The only parameter is the MAC address of the host that is being
|
|
looked for.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_lookup da
|
|
|
|
where:-
|
|
da -- DA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
|
|
The command returns an output string identical to the one returned by
|
|
fwt_list described below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
fwt_list
|
|
This command is used to list a route from the FWT table. The only
|
|
parameter is the index into the table. If you want to list all the
|
|
routes in a table, start with index=0, and keep listing until you get a
|
|
"(null)" string. Note that the indicies may change as the fwt is
|
|
updated. It is expected that most users will not use fwt_list directly,
|
|
but that a utility similar to the traditional route command will be used
|
|
to invoke fwt_list over and over.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_list index
|
|
|
|
The output is a string of the following form:
|
|
|
|
da ra metric dir ssn dsn hopcount ttl expiration sleepmode snr
|
|
|
|
where the different fields are:-
|
|
da -- DA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
ra -- RA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
metric -- route metric (cost: smaller-metric routes are preferred)
|
|
dir -- direction (1 for direct, 0 for reverse)
|
|
ssn -- Source Sequence Number (time at the RA for reverse routes)
|
|
dsn -- Destination Sequence Number (time at the DA for direct routes)
|
|
hopcount -- hop count (currently unused)
|
|
ttl -- TTL (only used in reverse entries)
|
|
expiration -- entry expiration (in ticks, where a tick is 1024us, or ~ 1ms. Use 0 for an indefinite entry)
|
|
sleepmode -- RA's sleep mode (currently unused)
|
|
snr -- SNR in the link to RA (currently unused)
|
|
|
|
fwt_list_route
|
|
This command is used to list a route from the FWT table. The only
|
|
parameter is the route ID. If you want to list all the routes in a
|
|
table, start with rid=0, and keep incrementing rid until you get a
|
|
"(null)" string. This function is similar to fwt_list. The only
|
|
difference is the output format. Also note that this command is meant
|
|
for debugging. It is expected that users will use fwt_lookup and
|
|
fwt_list. One important reason for this is that the route id may change
|
|
as the route table is altered.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_list_route rid
|
|
|
|
The output is a string of the following form:
|
|
|
|
da metric dir nid ssn dsn hopcount ttl expiration
|
|
|
|
where the different fields are:-
|
|
da -- DA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
metric -- route metric (cost: smaller-metric routes are preferred)
|
|
dir -- direction (1 for direct, 0 for reverse)
|
|
nid -- Next-hop (neighbor) host ID (nid)
|
|
ssn -- Source Sequence Number (time at the RA for reverse routes)
|
|
dsn -- Destination Sequence Number (time at the DA for direct routes)
|
|
hopcount -- hop count (currently unused)
|
|
ttl -- TTL count (only used in reverse entries)
|
|
expiration -- entry expiration (in ticks, where a tick is 1024us, or ~ 1ms. Use 0 for an indefinite entry)
|
|
|
|
fwt_list_neigh
|
|
This command is used to list a neighbor from the FWT table. The only
|
|
parameter is the neighbor ID. If you want to list all the neighbors in a
|
|
table, start with nid=0, and keep incrementing nid until you get a
|
|
"(null)" string. Note that the nid from a fwt_list_route command can be
|
|
used as an input to this command. Also note that this command is meant
|
|
mostly for debugging. It is expected that users will use fwt_lookup.
|
|
One important reason for this is that the neighbor id may change as the
|
|
neighbor table is altered.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_list_neigh nid
|
|
|
|
The output is a string of the following form:
|
|
|
|
ra sleepmode snr references
|
|
|
|
where the different fields are:-
|
|
ra -- RA MAC address (in the form "00:11:22:33:44:55")
|
|
sleepmode -- RA's sleep mode (currently unused)
|
|
snr -- SNR in the link to RA (currently unused)
|
|
references -- RA's reference counter
|
|
|
|
fwt_reset
|
|
This command is used to reset the FWT table, getting rid of all the
|
|
entries. There are no input parameters.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_reset
|
|
|
|
The command does not return anything.
|
|
|
|
fwt_cleanup
|
|
This command is used to perform user-based garbage recollection. The
|
|
FWT table is checked, and all the entries that are expired or invalid
|
|
are cleaned. Note that this is exported to the driver for debugging
|
|
purposes, as garbage collection is also fired by the firmware when in
|
|
space problems. There are no input parameters.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_cleanup
|
|
|
|
The command does returns the number of invalid/expired routes deleted.
|
|
|
|
fwt_time
|
|
This command returns a card's internal time representation. It is this
|
|
time that is used to represent the expiration times of FWT entries. The
|
|
number is not consistent from card to card; it is simply a timer count.
|
|
The fwt_time command is used to inspect the timer so that expiration
|
|
times reported by fwt_list can be properly interpreted.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX fwt_time
|
|
|
|
mesh_get_ttl
|
|
|
|
The mesh ttl is the number of hops a mesh packet can traverse before it
|
|
is dropped. This parameter is used to prevent infinite loops in the
|
|
mesh network. The value returned by this function is the ttl assigned
|
|
to all mesh packets. Currently there is no way to control the ttl on a
|
|
per packet or per socket basis.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX mesh_get_ttl
|
|
|
|
mesh_set_ttl ttl
|
|
|
|
Set the ttl. The argument must be between 0 and 255.
|
|
|
|
iwpriv ethX mesh_set_ttl <ttl>
|

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

|
|
|
|
===========
|
|
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 preceed preceding the number with a "0x").
|
|
|
|
Path: /debugfs/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 preceed 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: /debugfs/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: /debugfs/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.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
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: /debugfs/libertas_wireless/ethX/
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
cat getscantable
|
|
|
|
setuserscan
|
|
Initiate a customized scan and retrieve the results
|
|
|
|
|
|
Path: /debugfs/libertas_wireless/ethX/
|
|
|
|
Usage:
|
|
echo "[ARGS]" > setuserscan
|
|
|
|
where [ARGS]:
|
|
|
|
chan=[chan#][band][mode] where band is [a,b,g] and mode is
|
|
blank for active or 'p' for passive
|
|
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
|
|
probes=[#] number of probe requests to send on each chan
|
|
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 the chan token is absent, a full channel scan will be completed by
|
|
the driver. If the dur or probes 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 an active scan on channels 1, 6, and 11 in the 'g' band:
|
|
echo "chan=1g,6g,11g" > setuserscan
|
|
|
|
2) Perform a passive scan on channel 11 for 20 ms:
|
|
echo "chan=11gp dur=20" > setuserscan
|
|
|
|
3) Perform an active scan on channels 1, 6, and 11; and a passive scan on
|
|
channel 36 in the 'a' band:
|
|
|
|
echo "chan=1g,6g,11g,36ap" > setuserscan
|
|
|
|
4) Perform an active scan on channel 6 and 36 for a specific SSID:
|
|
echo "chan=6g,36a ssid="TestAP"" > setuserscan
|
|
|
|
5) 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
|
|
|
|
6) Scan channel 6, for all infrastructure networks, sending two probe
|
|
requests. Keep the previous scan table intact. Update any duplicate
|
|
BSSID/SSID matches with the new scan data:
|
|
echo "chan=6g type=1 probes=2 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.
