Hi All, I have a laptop with an AR2425 in it, which the latest compat-wireless works great on, all except for the throughput.
If I leave the rate to auto, it seems to settle at 36M, but if I force it to 54M, I loose all RX/TX, even though I am less then one meter from the AP. When I do a xfer from a wired pc to the laptop, I get no more then 800k/s. If I manually set the rate to a lower value, such as 11M, the rate goes up to around 1.2M/s. TCP Dump is reporting unknown packets. When I google for answers, there is a post on this mailing list that suggests the problem is with the lack of fast frames support in the driver. The AP I am talking to is a Apple Airport, and at home a D-Link device, I don't know about the apple device, but I know the D-Link device does not support FF, so I doub't that it is the issue. This issue has been occuring since AR2425 support was added months ago and I assumed it was just due to the early state of the code, however over the last few days, after playing around, and googling for others with the problem, I am convinced that there is something else going on. I have started to research into adding FF support to ath5k, and playing around with the possibility that it could be the problem, but before I can accurately test my code, I need to be sure that the lack of FF support is not the problem. -Geoff _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
