Hello everyone, I'm quite new on this list. As the subject shows I have configured the ath5k driver to operate on 10 MHz bandwidth (check by spectrum analyzer). With this setup the desired bitrates were halved indicated by throughput measurements (iperf, netperf, etc.). I know that dividing the bandwidth by two results a /2 decreasing in maximum datarate but I thought that the driver and/or the Atheros SoC can correct the properties (obviously not). Of course doubling the desired rate can solve the problem but the PLCP header will indicate the doubled rate which is not a perfect way for me. Has anybody experienced this kind of phenomenon? I wonder if there is a simple way to tell the SoC and/or the driver to work on 10 MHz bandwidth with e.g. 6Mbps and the outcome will match the desired options. I don't know exactly how the Atheros SoC works, what kind of properties can be defined, for example the proper options for doubled datarate for the 10 MHz bandwidth considering the correct PLCP information in the signal field which indicates the correct bitrate for 10 MHz (not the doubled).
Thank you. Laszlo _______________________________________________ ath5k-devel mailing list ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel
