I'm getting:
[ 164.503843] wlan0: AP has invalid WMM params (CWmin/max=15/1023 for ACI 0),
using defaults
The AP is running a recent OpenWrt and is using hostapd 2.7.
iw says the AP has the following WMM IE:
Extended capabilities: Extended Channel Switching, SSID List, 6
WMM: * Parameter version 1
* u-APSD
* BE: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 3
* BK: CW 15-1023, AIFSN 7
* VI: CW 7-15, AIFSN 2, TXOP 3008 usec
* VO: CW 3-7, AIFSN 2, TXOP 1504 usec
which looks reasonable.
What seems to be happening is that the code now expects to start
with ac = 0.
802.11-2012's Figure 8-192 EDCA Parameter Set element lists the AC_BE as the
first element in the IE and because of this ac variable gets set to
IEEE80211_AC_BE [1] in the first round. This would be fine, if
IEEE80211_AC_BE was 0, but it is 2 [2].
Should this be params[ac].cw_min? or params[aci].cw_min?
Or should the params->cw_min check be placed after the loop?
Can you please sent a fix? Thanks.
Regards,
Christian
