Could you summarize the difference between amrr and onoe? AMRR will try to probe higher rate more often than ONOE. Sometimes the probing rate is wrong, then in that second, most TX will be retried or even fail. If the probing keeps failing, then AMRR will be degenerated to ONOE for sometime. Since acx111 part of acx(4) supports limited multi-rate retry, the situation will not be that bad though. One of my previous emails listed 3 different atheros chipsets, could you please tell me if they can be handled by the ath driver? The card using Ath SuperG chip is supported, as far as I can tell. Best Regards, sephe Thanks, I purchased the Netgear WG311T which is supposed to have 5212, so when i get it im gonna replace my current card which has a TI in it. Did you get my email with the logs?

Re: Which wireless card?
How much of the debug do you want?

Connection seems to fluctuate between 12-54mbit, sometimes goes to 1mbit Changing of TX rate is normal. and completely stalls. However, sometimes it also completely stalls on 36 (or any other speed) and I can't ping anything. I initially thought Try following command and see whether it helps: ifconfig acx0 ratectl onoe Try turning on debug for it too: sysctl net.wlan.0.onoe_ratectl.debug=10 I don't have a box at hand, but the exact sysctl node should be something similar, set it to 10. its the wireless router, so i bought a new one from different manufacturer but it does the samething. About 50% of times these messages: acx0: basic rates: 0x0027 acx0: join BSS/IBSS on channel 11 come up like 7-8 times before it reaches handshake or whatever its doing. This is abnormal. and sometimes also messages like acx0: tx failed or something like that This means wrong TX rate is picked up. Try compile and install wlandebug from tools/tools/wlandebug: make obj; make depend; make; make install Then try turning on: wlandebug -i acx0 +state wlandebug -i acx0 +xrate The debug messages may be quite verbose, but please mail it to me or put it to some place I can fetch.

Re: Which wireless card?
That I would like to know too. It seems kind of strange that it says "linux:" as if the application was linux. Run /usr/bin/file on the necessary file(s).

Don't know which chip those you posted are based on by mine is a 5212-based card and it's working just fine. At least the chips supporting SuperG should be 5212. 5212 may be the most widely available ath(4) chips nowaday. Best Regards, sephe -- Live Free or Die

Which wireless card?
I've tried 2 different cards that use the ACX driver (one netgear, the other dlink) and neither of them are quite stable (same in windows) so this is not a DF problem. I need PCI or PCI-E card that supports 802.11g (dont need +) and runs rock solid in DF. What do you use? Petr

Cheers, sephe I just wanted to say that the following card worked with the ath(4) driver: D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G Model: DWL-G650 H/W Ver.: B2 F/W Ver.: 2.23 This is an older card. Probably a few years old. It worked under FreeBSD 6.0 and it also worked with DragonFlyBSD Preview 1.5.3 with Sephe's ath, cbb, and wpa patches. I actually have a custom livecd ISO with those patches already installed laying around too. Joey

Which wireless card?
I'm looking for a wireless PCI card (801.11g preferably ) that I will easily get working in DragonFly. Can you give me some clues? Petr
