-IWPRIV COMMAND
-=====================
-
-NAME
- This manual describes the usage of private commands used in Marvell WLAN
- Linux Driver. All the commands available in Wlanconfig will not be available
- in the iwpriv.
-
-SYNOPSIS
- iwpriv <ethX> <command> [sub-command] ...
-
- iwpriv ethX setregioncode <n>
- iwpriv ethX getregioncode
-
-Version 5 Command:
- iwpriv ethX ledgpio <n>
-
-BT Commands:
- The blinding table (BT) contains a list of mac addresses that will be,
- by default, ignored by the firmware. It is also possible to invert this
- behavior so that we will ignore all traffic except for the portion
- coming from mac addresess in the list. 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>
- iwpriv ethX bt_get_invert <n>
- iwpriv ethX bt_set_invert <n>
-
-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.
-
- iwpriv ethX fwt_add [parameters]
- iwpriv ethX fwt_del [parameters]
- iwpriv ethX fwt_lookup [parameters]
- iwpriv ethX fwt_list [parameters]

-
-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
-
-DESCRIPTION
- Those commands are used to send additional commands to the Marvell WLAN
- card via the Linux device driver.
-
- The ethX parameter specifies the network device that is to be used to
- perform this command on. it could be eth0, eth1 etc.
-
-setregioncode
- This command is used to set the region code in the station.
- where value is 'region code' for various regions like
- USA FCC, Canada IC, Spain, France, Europe ETSI, Japan ...
-
- Usage:
- iwpriv ethX setregioncode 0x10: set region code to USA (0x10).
-
-getregioncode
- This command is used to get the region code information set in the
- station.
-
-ledgpio
- This command is used to set/get LEDs.
-
- iwpriv ethX ledgpio <LEDs>
- will set the corresponding LED for the GPIO Line.
-
- iwpriv ethX ledgpio
- will give u which LEDs are Enabled.
-
- Usage:
- iwpriv eth1 ledgpio 1 0 2 1 3 4
- will enable
- LED 1 -> GPIO 0
- LED 2 -> GPIO 1
- LED 3 -> GPIO 4
-
- iwpriv eth1 ledgpio
- shows LED information in the format as mentioned above.
-
- Note: LED0 is invalid
- Note: Maximum Number of LEDs are 16.
-
-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 rate 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)
- rate -- data rate used for transmission to the RA,
- as specified for the rateadapt command,
- default is 3 (11Mbps)
- 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 valid metric dir rate ssn dsn hopcount ttl expiration
- sleepmode snr precursor
-
- 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")
- valid -- whether the route is valid (0 if not valid)
- metric -- route metric (cost: smaller-metric routes are preferred)
- dir -- direction (1 for direct, 0 for reverse)
- rate -- data rate used for transmission to the RA,
- as specified for the rateadapt command
- 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)
- precursor -- predecessor in direct routes
-
-fwt_list_route
- This command is equivalent to fwt_list.
-
-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>
