28 Gedanke zu “fsam7400 module v0.5.1 released”

  1. Hi Zwobbl

    I’d like to start off by saying that you rock – thanks to you I’ve been using my M7400 wireless on Gentoo for months with no problems.

    However I’ve just installed Ubunty Edgy on the same laptop, and I can’t get wireless working. Edgy comes with v4 of your module, but it didn’t seem to work so I tried v5.1. With either version I get something like the following in /var/log/messages when I do modprobe fsam7400:

    Oct 28 11:37:06 edward kernel: [17180747.388000] fsam7400: SW RF kill switch for Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400, v0.5.0
    Oct 28 11:37:06 edward kernel: [17180747.388000] fsam7400: Copyright(c) 2004 zwobbl 😉
    Oct 28 11:37:06 edward kernel: [17180747.388000] fsam7400: no supported wireless hardware found

    Any ideas what the problem might be? If I boot into gentoo everything works as it should, which I guess rules out hardware / bios issues.

    And I’d like to point out that you rock again. It’s a shame the only time I bother to contact developers is when things don’t work properly. Your work is very much appreciated.

  3. Thanks for your comment! It’s kinda weird that it is not running on Ubuntu Edgy. Can you please load the module with

    modprobe fsam7400 debug=1

    This way we might get some more information on what’s going wrong…

  9. Hi,
    I’m an happy fsam user from a very long time, but yesterday I’ve replaced my Fedora Core 5 with FC6: it doesn’t seem to work… I’m not able to switch on my ipw2100!

    I’m using the 0.5.1 version with the proposed patch (previous reply in the blog). If I look at „dmesg“ log I obtain:

    fsam7400: SW RF kill switch for Fujitsu Siemens Amilo M 7400, v0.5.0

  10. Hi,

    by including linux/pci.h and adding the following code snippet to fsam7400.c, I got the module to auto-load at boot time with openSUSE 10.2 on a friend’s laptop.

    — snip —
    static struct pci_device_id fsam7400_pci_tbl[] = {
    { 0x8086, 0x3584, 0x1734, 0x1033, 0, 0 , 0UL },
    { 0, }
    };
    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(pci, fsam7400_pci_tbl);
    — snap —

    Maybe you can include it in the next version and extend the list by PCI IDs found in other laptop models this module is known to work on.

    All PCI devices that are directly provided by the chipset seem to have 1734:1033 as the sub vendor and device ID. First I planned to add only this sub IDs and wildcards for the main IDs, but I was afraid that this might prevent the regular drivers for some devices from getting loaded. So I picked the ID of a PCI device for which no special module seems to get loaded.

  11. ERRATA CORRIGE

    In my previous post I wrote about my problem to switch on the radio after installing FC6; so I logged my dmesg output.

    They are two different problems:
    1. To enable my radio it was enough to download the firmware… I forgot it… sorry!
    2. The errors still remain but they seem to not affect the operations…

    Thanks again and happy new year!

  14. Hello Zwobbl

    Thank you very much for your work with the fsam module. I’m finally able to use the wireless connection of my Maxdata Pro 7000X 🙂

    Best Wishes from Switzerland.

  15. Hi,

    i’ve installed vista on my amilo M7440 and i can’t activate my wireless card. i tried your sorf fsam7440 dev-c++ projet but i failed to compilate it due to lot of problems.
    i wish you to give an executable version for vista or a visual studio project.

    after cmake .
    i have 2 errors…

  25. what do the errors look like? other people seem to have no problem with rfsam and feisty fawn. Please provide some details. I think your problem can by solved by some ubuntu users… 🙂

  26. i have post a problem with fsam on kubuntu forum, but no answers…

  28. hello zwobbl

    there are missing files in the ubuntu 7.04 source tree: linux -2.6.20 …/include/linux/config.h and modversions.h. So I can’t compile
    Can I take other sources?

    Another question: rfsam works fine on my amilo 7400 so I do not really need the things above. How can I make the WLAN leds work?.

    thank you
