[ath9k-devel] SW queuing stopped during transmissions

2013-07-19 Thread shinnazar
Hi all, I want to keep the TX software queue always filled with frames. But, according to my observations mac80211 stops queuing frames into SW queue during the transmission. However I couldn't find the point where should I dig in order to manipulate the SW queuing for my purpose. Any ideas?

[ath9k-devel] ath9k_htc station never disconnects from AP

I ended up getting the open source firmware from https://github.com/qca/open-ath9k-htc-firmware and building the master branch. Thus I replaced the htc_9271.fw (v1.3) with the latest version built from open source and repeated the test. This fixed the issue and now when the AP is powered off

Hmm, now I remember. From the back of my mind, old iwconfig set sensitivity was used with some Orininco cards (Hermes Chips) that could associate and roam themselves. So called "full-mac" cards, which are now a bit out of fashion (except on phones/embedded devices). mac80211 based cards cannot do

More details on these, ieee80211_subif_start_xmit() function isn't receiving any frame from kernel while the transmission is going on. This continues until block ack will be received i.e., until ATH9K_INT_TX interrupt will be released. Because of this, SW queue sometimes cannot provide the HW queu
