Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 driver support

[danboid]

Haiku's network config tool doesn't list my Centrino 2230 as an available device under 49058 GCC2 Hybrid.

There is a backported FreeBSD 9 driver for the 2230 that I'd like to see included in Haiku here:

​https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196279

I presume this will also require that the install-wifi-firmware script be updated so it can fetch the firmware for the 2230?

Thanks

I have both Intel HD 4600 graphics and Intel 2230 wifi so in order to boot current nightlies without using safe mode I have to have the following in /boot/system/settings/packages:

Package haiku {

EntryBlacklist {

add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/iprowifi4965 add-ons/kernel/drivers/bin/intel_extreme

}

}

Just in case anyone else has the same laptop, I should also note that I had to uncomment the lines

apm true disable_ioapic true

in /boot/home/config/settings/kernel/drivers/kernel to get Haiku to boot reliably.

Apart from the missing Makefile (which I suspect we don't need) this patch applies cleanly against Haiku git.

I understand I need to update glue.c before I can build this with jam and I suspect all that involves is adding the correct line into this section:

HAIKU_FIRMWARE_NAME_MAP(8) = {

{"iwn1000fw", "iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode"}, {"iwn4965fw", "iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode"}, {"iwn5000fw", "iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode"}, {"iwn5150fw", "iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode"}, {"iwn6000fw", "iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode"}, {"iwn6000g2afw", "iwlwifi-6000g2a-6.ucode"}, {"iwn6000g2bfw", "iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode"}, {"iwn6050fw", "iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode"}

};

That raises 2 questions for a total Haiku dev newb like me:

1 - How do I know what the correct value is to enter in the left column? My guess would be "iwn2030fw". Yes, my device is a 2230 and supposedly thats what this patch adds support for but everything in the patch refers to 2030.

2 - The firmware file is:

src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/wlan/iprowifi4965/contrib/dev/iwn/iwlwifi-2030-18.168.6.1.fw.uu

Do I need to move that somewhere or just rename to something.ucode instead of iwlwifi-2030-18.168.6.1.fw.uu?

I'd start with grepping the source ​http://grok.bikemonkey.org/source/search?q=iwn1000fw

I've successfully patched this into Haiku, got it to compile and I'm writing this connected to the net using my 2230 under Haiku now.

It's already way past my bedtime but I'll get a patch uploaded for this shortly.

[danboid]

Patch attached.

Note that the required firmware is already in the Haiku source tree so that wasn't required here.
