Hi Adrian,
It really works! When adding
the REG_SET_BIT(ah, AR_DIAG_SW, AR_DIAG_ACK_DIS)
after ath9k_hw_process_ini(), Wireshark monitors no IEEE ACK any more.
There is another question. It is found the transmission rate is really low
even with UDP packets after disable the ACK. Does it mean som
I'd likely slide it in somewhere after ath9k_hw_process_ini() in
ath9k_hw_reset().
Good luck!

Hi,
There are three functions where AR_DIAG_SW is set with REG_SET_BIT(), but
I'm not sure in which function I should add REG_SET_BIT(ah,
AR_DIAG_SW, AR_DIAG_ACK_DIS). Do you have any suggestions?
function1: ath9k_hw_abort_tx_dma()
REG_SET_BIT(ah, AR_DIAG_SW, AR_DIAG_FORCE_CH_IDLE_HIGH);
funct
Best thing to do is look at the code that disables ACK in the TX
descriptor and set that.
There's also the DIAG register, as mentioned. For ath9k:
reg.h:#define AR_DIAG_SW 0x8048
reg.h:#define AR_DIAG_ACK_DIS 0x0002
Find where AR_DIAG_SW is set in the ath9k code
Hi Adrian,
Thank you. May I ask how to set these registers to disable the ACK in the
ath5k/ath9k driver?
Best,
Leon

No, retry doesn't stop ack's, it just stops the hardware from retrying
a packet if it hasn't heard an ACK.
You can fiddle with the diag register, or you can just ensure that the
relevant bit in the TX descriptor isn't set.
fgrep NOACK ath9k/*.h
mac.h:#define ATH9K_TXDESC_NOACK0x00
Please see ATH5K_DIAG_SW register in ath5k/reg.h for ACK disable feature.

Hi,
I want to know if the ACK at 802.11 MAC layer can be turned off in the
ath5k/ath9k, and how can it be done?
On the other hand, does the command "iwconfig wlan0 retry 0" disable the MAC
retransmission? Is it the same to turnoff the ACK?
Thank you!
Best,
Leon
