Hi all, I've been wondering why I cant seem to get more than approx 180k(bytes)/sec from my freebsd server with a netgear MA311 pci card in hostap. After some googling After some googling the evidence seems to point at me having rather ancient firmware. (23:46:36 <~>) 0 # dmesg |grep wi0 wi0: <Intersil Prism2.5> mem 0x40500000-0x40500fff irq 5 at device 4.0 on pci2 wi0: 802.11 address: 00:09:5b:11:fa:39 wi0: using RF:PRISM2.5 MAC:ISL3874A(Mini-PCI) wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.0.7), Station (1.3.6) wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
(the relevant line from ifconfig being media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet DS/11Mbps <hostap> (DS/2Mbps <hostap>)
Since Netgear dont seem to supply an updated firmware, has anyone any suggestions where i could get one, and if so is there any way to update it under FreeBSD ? or do i need to take down my server and put the card in my windows machine to update ?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
Vince
