USB: cxacru: add Documentation file
The sysfs attributes for exposing cxacru statistics/status information with possible values is now explained in Documentation/networking/cxacru.txt including information on the writable adsl_state attribute's commands and a sample of the kernel log format.

Firmware is required for this device: http://accessrunner.sourceforge.net/
|
||||
|
||||
While it is capable of managing/maintaining the ADSL connection without the
|
||||
module loaded, the device will sometimes stop responding after unloading the
|
||||
driver and it is necessary to unplug/remove power to the device to fix this.
|
||||
|
||||
Detected devices will appear as ATM devices named "cxacru". In /sys/class/atm/
|
||||
these are directories named cxacruN where N is the device number. A symlink
|
||||
named device points to the USB interface device's directory which contains
|
||||
several sysfs attribute files for retrieving device statistics:
|
||||
|
||||
* adsl_controller_version
|
||||
|
||||
* adsl_headend
|
||||
* adsl_headend_environment
|
||||
Information about the remote headend.
|
||||
|
||||
* downstream_attenuation (dB)
|
||||
* downstream_bits_per_frame
|
||||
* downstream_rate (kbps)
|
||||
* downstream_snr_margin (dB)
|
||||
Downstream stats.
|
||||
|
||||
* upstream_attenuation (dB)
|
||||
* upstream_bits_per_frame
|
||||
* upstream_rate (kbps)
|
||||
* upstream_snr_margin (dB)
|
||||
* transmitter_power (dBm/Hz)
|
||||
Upstream stats.
|
||||
|
||||
* downstream_crc_errors
|
||||
* downstream_fec_errors
|
||||
* downstream_hec_errors
|
||||
* upstream_crc_errors
|
||||
* upstream_fec_errors
|
||||
* upstream_hec_errors
|
||||
Error counts.
|
||||
|
||||
* line_startable
|
||||
Indicates that ADSL support on the device
|
||||
is/can be enabled, see adsl_start.
|
||||
|

* line_status

|

|
||||
|
||||
* startup_attempts
|
||||
Count of total attempts to initialise ADSL.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable/disable ADSL, the following can be written to the adsl_state file:
|
||||
"start"
|
||||
"stop
|
||||
"restart" (stops, waits 1.5s, then starts)
|
||||
"poll" (used to resume status polling if it was disabled due to failure)
|
||||
|
||||
Changes in adsl/line state are reported via kernel log messages:
|
||||
[4942145.150704] ATM dev 0: ADSL state: running
|
||||
[4942243.663766] ATM dev 0: ADSL line: down

||||
[4942249.665075] ATM dev 0: ADSL line: attempting to activate
|
||||
[4942253.654954] ATM dev 0: ADSL line: training
|
||||
[4942255.666387] ATM dev 0: ADSL line: channel analysis
|
||||
