Dan, You are being inappropriate and obnoxious. Stop it. This is unaccepable behaviour.

I personally have subscribed also "Then, why the man in XXI century interested group". But probably having roman numbers I have been the only group member till now. Is it we need a man secretary or an I'm-not-a-dev-for-sure small woman without dev bubbles who is able to dishern doc for users? Is it we need a good man alternative? ( I personally hate 555 man pages doc when most of us have one life only to set a firewall by reccomended choices, indeed did you notices 'man sh' end ? ) Indeed, the prefance must be always a capital 'thanks' to all the devs and a capital 'for your good will' versus having the possibility of a good publishing business.

Yes, that is the reason.

Re: qwx0 / QCNFA765 Does 802.11g Only
Hello Stefan, First of all many thanks for your work around qwx. Here after some observations on my T14s regarding qwx. My OpnBSD current setup is not my daily machine, but sounds that this driver is quite stable ;). My main message is that when running Apline Linux (in dual boot), I've got different values performance values: - Linux: 109Mbps download and 12Mbps upload (via testmy.net) - Openbsd: 20Mbps download, 1.9Mbps upload (via testmy.net) Laptop is the same, Wifi AP is the same, 2 tests performed with less than 5 minutes delta (so provider context more or less the same). I share some some elements of the Alpine Linux setup. Maybe version of the driver is the cause.

The AP can't be rejecting the client based on this standard basic rate set. So the rejection is likely indeed a way of saying "go away, you do not support 11n/11ac".

I don't have control over the AP, my landlord does... I'll try to have a look. Otherwise I'll just stick with 11g until 11n/11ac is supported. >Can you please show a beacon of this AP? > >One line from tcpdump this command while trying to associate to the AP should >suffice: > > tcdump -n -i qwx0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO -s 1500 -v wlan host 20:c0:47:bb:bc:4c > >I am looking for the field which lists the supported rates: > > ... rates 6M* 9M 12M* 18M 24M* 36M 48M 54M, ... > Before, during, and after: 22:21:27.027345 802.11 flags=0<>: beacon, caps=10421, ssid (Fios-RSXPW-5G), rates 6M* 9M 12M* 18M 24M* 36M 48M 54M, tim 0x0001, country 'US ', channel 36 limit 30dB, channel 40 limit 30dB, channel 44 limit 30dB, channel 48 limit 30dB, channel 52 limit 24dB, channel 56 limit 24dB, channel 60 limit 24dB, channel 64 limit 24dB, channel 100 limit 24dB, channel 104 limit 24dB, channel 108 limit 24dB, channel 112 limit 24dB, channel 116 limit 24dB, channel 132 limit 24dB, channel 136 limit 24dB, channel 140 limit 24dB, channel 144 limit 24dB, channel 149 limit 30dB, channel 153 limit 30dB, channel 157 limit 30dB, channel 161 limit 30dB, channel 165 limit 30dB, power constraint 0dB, tpcreport 0x1100, rsn=, 1 stations, 23% utilization, admission capacity 0us/s, 70:5 0x03, htcaps=<20/40MHz,LDPC,SGI@20MHz,SGI@40MHz,TXSTBC,RXSTBC 1 stream,A-MSDU 7935,A-MPDU max 65535,A-MPDU spacing 8.00us,RxMCS 0xff00>, htop=<40MHz chan 40:36,RIFS,htprot none,non-greenfield STA,basic MCS set 0x>, 127:8 0x04000840, vhtcaps=, vhtop=<80MHz chan,center chan 42,basic MCS set 0-7@1SS 0-7@2SS 0-7@3SS 0-7@4SS 0-7@5SS 0-7@6SS 0-7@7SS>, 195:4 0x02020202, vendor 0x0050f204104a000110104400010210470010a824e8f8fa487650a3b58fa9b1544952103c0001031049000600372a000120, vendor 0x0010180201001c, vendor 0x0050f2020101840003a427a442435e0062322f00 22:21:30.011040 802.11 flags=0<>: authentication request 22:21:30.013709 802.11 flags=0<>: authentication response 22:21:30.013714 802.11 flags=0<>: association request, caps=2001, ssid (Fios-RSXPW-5G), rates 6M* 9M 12M* 18M 24M* 36M 48M 54M, rsn= 22:21:30.015636 802.11 flags=8: association response 22:21:30.099538 802.11 flags=0<>: beacon, caps=10421, ssid (Fios-RSXPW-5G), rates 6M* 9M 12M* 18M 24M* 36M 48M 54M, tim 0x0001, country 'US ', channel 36 limit 30dB, channel 40 limit 30dB, channel 44 limit 30dB, channel 48 limit 30dB, channel 52 limit 24dB, channel 56 limit 24dB, channel 60 limit 24dB, channel 64 limit 24dB, channel 100 limit 24dB, channel 104 limit 24dB, channel 108 limit 24dB, channel 112 limit 24dB, channel 116 limit 24dB, channel 132 limit 24dB, channel 136 limit 24dB, channel 140 limit 24dB, channel 144 limit 24dB, channel 149 limit 30dB, channel 153 limit 30dB, channel 157 limit 30dB, channel 161 limit 30dB, channel 165 limit 30dB, power constraint 0dB, tpcreport 0x1100, rsn=, 1 stations, 20% utilization, admission capacity 0us/s, 70:5 0x03, htcaps=<20/40MHz,LDPC,SGI@20MHz,SGI@40MHz,TXSTBC,RXSTBC 1 stream,A-MSDU 7935,A-MPDU max 65535,A-MPDU spacing 8.00us,RxMCS 0xff00>, htop=<40MHz chan 40:36,RIFS,htprot none,non-greenfield STA,basic MCS set 0x>, 127:8 0x04000840, vhtcaps=, vhtop=<80MHz chan,center chan 42,basic MCS set 0-7@1SS 0-7@2SS 0-7@3SS 0-7@4SS 0-7@5SS 0-7@6SS 0-7@7SS>, 195:4 0x02020202, vendor 0x0050f204104a000110104400010210470010a824e8f8fa487650a3b58fa9b1544952103c0001031049000600372a000120, vendor 0x0010180201001c, vendor 0x0050f2020101840003a427a442435e0062322f00 Thanks for your help!

This driver does not yet support 11n/11ac modes, and adding such support will require a big chunk of further development time, it won't be ready for 7.5. Does your AP have support for "legacy 11a/b/g" clients disabled somehow? Some APs advertise such options for performance in their config and may need to be disabled to make it work. Can you please show a beacon of this AP? One line from tcpdump this command while trying to associate to the AP should suffice: tcdump -n -i qwx0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO -s 1500 -v wlan host 20:c0:47:bb:bc:4c I am looking for the field which lists the supported rates: ... rates 6M* 9M 12M* 18M 24M* 36M 48M 54M, ...
