Re: [ath5k-devel] mac80211 and kernel 3.8.13 1/2 speed as with madwifi and kernel 2.6.23 and bad respons time

What is the rate control algorithm used by your mac80211? Try use minstrel
perhaps.

It seems that I'm using already minstrel.
I have found the following in the kernel configuration file

CONFIG_MAC80211=m
CONFIG_MAC80211_HAS_RC=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_PID=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_MINSTREL_HT=y
# CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_PID is not set
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT_MINSTREL=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_RC_DEFAULT=minstrel_ht
CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH=y
CONFIG_MAC80211_LEDS=y
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_MESSAGE_TRACING is not set
# CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG_MENU is not set

I have not found in the wireless documentation how to enable other algo?
Is there a module parameter for MAC80211 ?

... I think you should start doing some more in-depth system profiling to
see where that CPU is actually being used. Saying ksoftirqd is only a
little helpful.

See if it's handling way too much interrupts, or whether there's lots of
card error conditions, or the TX/RX queues are being too frequently
checkeed, or ...

[ath5k-devel] need documentation about ath5k

2013-09-17 Thread Suman Bhunia
Hello,

I very new to Linux wireless kernel. I have to build a wireless test-bed 
using atheros card. First thing I want to do is switch channel of 
operation dynamically based upon received signal strength. There are 
many *.c files inside /driver/net/wireless/ath/ath5k directory. It seems 
very tough for me to find out the particular file to look for specific 
code. Could you please tell me which file to look for channel switching 
code. Is there any document that can tell me the purpose of each file in 
the directory?

Thanks and Regards,
Suman Bhunia
