Comment (by anonymous):
So what about adhoc mode?
I have several adhoc mode devices, that have interoperability problems:
that is ubnt bullet m2, airgrid m2, nanobridge m2, ... that still have
Broadcom chipsets most of them WRT54GL oder Buffalos as link partners. In
the past, data rates where low (fallback to 802.11 rates sometimes 802.11b
rate, despite sufficient rssi-s on both sides would have allowed for
higher g-rates.
deactivating htmode in former OpenWRT-Versions did not seem to have any
influence on n-rates, where these were possible, but the elder hardware
improved a bit, the amount of collisions was reduced a litte bit.
Greenfield mode should be off by default, leading to cts-to-self in
basically all cases.
Those, who need additional performance may still activate greenfield mode.
I understand, that some provider hardware unfortunately does not handle
this that way, but is rather shipped with protection modes off, which in
turn leads to problems, what leads to users increasing power levels, using
repeaters (that also ignore protection modes by default), what leads to
collisions, noise and users increasing txpower....
