Patched, compiled and running with it now... Throughput is still very low, however iwconfig is now reporting I am connected at 54Mb/s.
This is the dmesg output on start up: [ 87.909863] ath5k 0000:03:00.0: PCI INT A -> Link[LK4E] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 19 [ 87.909873] ath5k 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 [ 87.909914] ath5k 0000:03:00.0: registered as 'phy0' [ 88.046028] ath5k phy0: Atheros AR2425 chip found (MAC: 0xe2, PHY: 0x70) [ 140.082083] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready [ 141.272900] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2417MHz) [ 160.444529] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2417MHz) [ 188.740597] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2427MHz) [ 189.506135] wlan0: authenticate with AP ffff8800af401a20 [ 189.562507] wlan0: authenticated [ 189.562526] wlan0: associate with AP ffff8800af401a20 [ 189.571221] wlan0: RX AssocResp from ffff8800b508204a (capab=0x431 status=0 aid=2) [ 189.571232] wlan0: associated [ 189.577802] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0: link becomes ready [ 190.448767] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2417MHz) [ 191.400925] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2412MHz) [ 200.561021] wlan0: no IPv6 routers present [ 260.308977] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2417MHz) [ 260.511082] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2427MHz) [ 269.820015] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2412MHz) [ 320.304633] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2417MHz) [ 379.820014] ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration failed (2412MHz) Also, the signal strength is very low even though I am only 1m from the AP. I also had a kernel panic after I first loaded the driver and started to xfer a large file, capslock was flashing, but no error in dmesg/syslog/debug logs. -Geoff On Thu, 2009-03-12 at 03:07 +0200, Nick Kossifidis wrote: > 2009/3/12 Geoffrey McRae <ge...@rabidhost.com>: > > 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. > > > > Try the latest series on tx power posted here and see if it fixes throughput > ;-) > _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
