Re: [ath5k-devel] Multi-channel support in AR2313

Hi, I can't point you to any working implementations, sorry. I know that channel change on the older platforms takes time; even "fast channel change" wasn't terribly fast and came with a _lot_ of restrictions. There was some attempt at a virtualised phy with mac80211 and ath9k in the past. It may

Hi Adrian, Thank you very much for replying. My motivation behind this idea is that, if the network is really dense and the nodes are each equipped with only single radio, then the nodes coordinate with each other and switch their channel to another channel periodically. And this happens in a sequ

Hi, The problem with doing multi-channel single radio work is that channel change will take quite a bit of time; so you will have to take that into account when implementing this. Then you have to ensure all the whacky power save stuff works absolutely correctly.. :-) Adrian On 4 September 201

[ath5k-devel] Multi-channel support in AR2313

2012-09-04 Thread Sivateja Patibandla
