While you are right that the compression feature has been announced in the
releases as working, it seems to be broken. The reason has to be examined.
It could be a bug in the driver, a problem in the HAL or an issue related
to not having described the circumstances in detail when compression is
working and when not - or something completely different.
And yes, there is room for improvement regarding testing the driver
automatically, to ensure its quality and to make sure that such at such
issues are detected early. However, this requires hardware we don't have
yet (I'm working on that particular part) and an automated testing
environment that needs to be implemented once the hardware is available.
For now, we're limited to our own, manual tests and feedback from users -
and since you're the first to report problems with compression, it seems
that the feature either isn't used very often (which would lower the
priority of this ticket compared to other open issues) or it is just
working for others.
Rome wasn't build in one day, and we are all working in our spare time on
this project. You're welcome to contribute your time and energy to help
improve MadWifi. If you don't want to contribute and don't like the fact
that this (free) driver is developed by guys who also have a real life,
you are welcome to switch to another (probably commercial) driver with
better support.
