I did some tests today on all the cards i have to see their behavior and compatibility with current ath5k + my patch for 5413. Tests are on b/g only but I'll soon test a mode also while also working with 5210 support...
So here we go... --- [ 59.132882] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: Atheros AR5211 chip found (MAC: 0x42, PHY: 0x30) [ 59.132890] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: RF5111 5GHz radio found (0x17) [ 59.132895] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: RF2111 2GHz radio found (0x23) This one is a/b only (actually it supports g-only -OFDM- mode but this needs some work on the stack/driver part). Tested b mode @ 11Mbits and got an average of 7Mbits/sec --- --- [ 97.704977] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: Atheros AR5213 chip found (MAC: 0x56, PHY: 0x41) [ 97.704984] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: RF5111 5GHz radio found (0x17) [ 97.704989] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: RF2111 2GHz radio found (0x23) Tested g mode in a noisy environment, link got stable at about 24-36Mbit/s, i picked 36 for the test to see what's happening with periodic phy calibration and study it's behavior. After one hour of iperf i got an average of 17Mbit/sec. --- --- [ 37.694909] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: Atheros AR5213 chip found (MAC: 0x56, PHY: 0x41) [ 37.694914] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: RF5112A multiband radio found (0x36) Almost same behavior as above. --- --- [ 56.442734] ath5k_pci 0000:02:02.0: Atheros AR5413 chip found (MAC: 0xa4, PHY: 0x61) Tested g mode as above, link got stable at 18Mbits/s, choosing 24 resulted too much packet loss so i stayed at 18 and after one hour of iperf i got an average of 12,3Mbit/s. In this case i noticed some periodic slow-downs but not for long, i guess it was the result of calibration timeouts, got to do more tests with all cards to figure out the best value for periodic calibrations. --- -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
