There's a bit in the TX descriptor which should be labelled something like noack / NOACK. Just start there and work your way up. :) Sorry, I'm knee deep in radar pattern matching code at the moment... Adrian On 19 January 2012 17:08, David Murray wrote: > Thank you very much for the respon

Thank you very much for the response Luis. it seems like ath_hw_set_bssid_mask() is really about filtering out external BSSIDs. Adrian, do you have any information or links that might explain how the higher layers set the QoS flags of NoAck in 802.11? I would happily buy ath9k compatible device

If it's anything like what ath9k does, there's a flag that the upper layers can set which marks that particular frame as not requiring an ACK. So you wouldn't require it to be done via an iw command - you'd just appropriately tag your data frames. Adrian On 19 January 2012 00:35, David Murray

Hi, I am interested in disabling the MAC layer ack. I have read http://www.mail-archive.com/ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org/msg04587.html Is there any chance of a hook being put into ath5k so that it could be enabled or disabled with an iwpriv or something similar. It seems like it is part of the
