Hi,

in order to compare the performance between antenna-diversity on and off
I did a quick test with the following sysctl settings:

        # antenna-diversity on
        dev.ath.0.diversity=1

        # antenna-diversity off
        dev.ath.0.diversity=0
        dev.ath.0.txantenna=1
        dev.ath.0.rxantenna=2


The performance was pretty much the same but I noticed that the
link-quality reported by my laptop was notable lower with enabled
antenna-diversity (AD):

        ~ 43/70 (AD on)
        ~ 51/70 (AD off)


I've read a few things about AD on Wikipedia and it seems to be a good
technique to achieve a better signal quality but OTOH there are people
who recommend turning it off to get a better signal quality.

So whats actually true here?


Thanks,

Petar
