excessive status logging? #144

Open mgchristensen opened 2 years ago

mgchristensen commented 2 years ago

Built and loaded module per the README.md. Approximately four or five times per second, what appears to be a status report for the device is written to the log, as shown by dmesg.

[309021.137326] RTW: ============ STA [8a:2a:xx:xx:xx:xx] =================== [309021.137341] RTW: mac_id : 0 [309021.137344] RTW: wireless_mode : 0x44 [309021.137347] RTW: mimo_type : 2 [309021.137350] RTW: static smps : N [309021.137352] RTW: bw_mode : 40MHz, ra_bw_mode : 40MHz [309021.137356] RTW: rate_id : 9 [309021.137358] RTW: rssi : 49 (%), rssi_level : 5 [309021.137362] RTW: is_support_sgi : Y, is_vht_enable : Y [309021.137365] RTW: disable_ra : N, disable_pt : N [309021.137368] RTW: is_noisy : N [309021.137370] RTW: txrx_state : 2 [309021.137373] RTW: curr_tx_rate : VHT2SMCS9 (L) [309021.137376] RTW: curr_tx_bw : 40MHz [309021.137378] RTW: curr_retry_ratio : 0 [309021.137381] RTW: ra_mask : 0x00000000fffffff0

Likely something simple I missed, but I am unable to see it. Please tell me what I miossed Fedora 35, kernel 5.18.9-100.fc35.x86_64

lsmod | grep 88x2 shows: 88x2bu 3698688 0 cfg80211 1060864 2 wl,88x2bu

Thanks.

Additional info: after: sudo modprobe -r 88x2bu dmesg shows: [354319.837631] usbcore: deregistering interface driver rtl88x2bu then, after: sudo modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1 rtw_drv_log_level=0 dmesg shows: [354348.168161] usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl88x2bu [354348.177728] rtl88x2bu 3-2:1.0 wlp0s20u2: renamed from wlan0 [354348.806667] start_addr=(0x20000), end_addr=(0x40000), buffer_size=(0x20000), smp_number_max=(16384) [354353.905528] start_addr=(0x20000), end_addr=(0x40000), buffer_size=(0x20000), smp_number_max=(16384) [354357.107618] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlp0s20u2: link becomes ready

So, the default build of the driver enables a higher (debug) log level?

It has already been reduced to 3 (WARNING) from Realtek default 4 (INFO). You can check/change log level in /proc/net/rtl88x2bu/log_level
