Hi Felix, I've tried testing both AA r38347 as-is, and also AA recompiled with the back-ported copies of hostapd and mac80211 packages that you provided on your git repo (thank you!). Unfortunately, in both instances, I saw the adhoc link between two Engenius EOC-1650 freeze entirely during a

Hi Ben, please try copying this patch to package/mac80211/patches (with the new version): http://nbd.name/990-ath5k_fix.patch I checked the ath5k diff between the old and the new version, and the only relevant change seems to be a rate control related rework. - Felix On 2013-10-14 5:56 PM, Ben

The devices in 'production' use are Engenius EOC-01650 and Open Mesh OM1Ps, both with Atheros SoC AR2315. These are gradually by being replaced by UBNT Nanostation Loco M2's, with SoC AR7240. The small adhoc network I was using for proving firmware, where the decrease in throughput was observed,
