Could you please run the following commands on your ral-based access point, preferably before and after the rssadapt->AMRR change:
# netstat -i # ifconfig -M ral0 Thanks, Damien | I'm running Canyon CN-WF511 wireless PCI card (Ralink RT2561S) | in hostap mode in my 30m2 flat, serving one laptop next room. | The wireless quality has always been less than stellar, even | when few meters from the OpenBSD box antenna. But it works for | reading mail and news and thats all that matters in this case. | | Unfortunately, after updating last week (I'm following -current) | things got a bit worse. When in the same room with the AP, it works | as craptastically as before, but further away (say 5 meters and a | concrete wall between) things slowly cripple to the point when laptop | can't even find the AP. | | Long story short, looks like this update is to blame here: | | replace rssadapt(9) with amrr for automatic rate control. | as a side-effect, this should fix all the "bogus xmit rate" panics | users have been complaining about for some time when operating in | HostAP mode. | | I grabbed previous versions of relevant files from cvsweb and | rebuilt the kernel. | | Things work well now. | | Btw, I, too, suffered kernel panics before but forcing mode 11b in | hostname.ral0 took care of that. | | Here's my dmesg: http://doktor.kompro.ee/dmesg | | PS. I stared at the output of tcpdump -i ral0 -y IEEE802_11_RADIO | when it was broken but could'nt make any sense of it. | If someone would tell me what to look for there, I'm willing | to break things again and investigate.
