Hi all,

I have build a multi-aps network,and there are wifi clients roaming in the 
network. Now I use the standard ath9k driver,and I found that the time of 
handoff is as long as 3 to 4 seconds,it is too long to process the Voip service 
and so on. 
I think the problem can be solved by modify the driver,anyone has tried it?

Any help will be appreciated.

Waiting for your reply.
