Alright, I've finally managed to get everything built and loaded. As I mentioned before, this is HEAD at r248944. I have a Sony Vaio SVT1312 Ultrabook with an Atheros AR9485 wireless card (I _think_ it is also responsible for providing the Bluetooth stuff as well, but I'm not sure). I use this laptop at home to connect to a WPA2 ADSL router. Connecting to it using wpa_supplicant did work, but most of the packages are lost and the ones which actually get through do so with a very high latency. Meanwhile, my terminal gets spammed with the following: ath0: ath_edma_recv_proc_queue: handled npkts 0 ar9300_reset[4366]: ar9300_stop_dma_receive failed Please let me know what other additional information you may need. ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-wireless-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Indeed, booting with hw.physmem=4G makes the connection much more reliable -- I do see some of those warnings in the beginning, but they go away after the connection is established. Yup. Those warnings are fine. I need to trace that down and fix it but it's fine if it happens only whilst scanning. My gut feeling is that the average connection speed is still below the one I get when I use my WLAN-Ethernet adapter, but I haven't done any precise measurements to back that up. It's still a work in progress! WHat's the signal strength? (ifconfig wlan0 list sta gives that to you.) On a side note: this card is also supposed to provide Bluetooth support, right? Is any of your work going to help with that as well? Well, bluetooth support will work: * when ath3kfw is patched to include the ability to select an arbitrary USB device id; * when we include the updated ath3k firmware images in the base system. I have the relevant NICs here (AR9462+BT, AR9485+BT) but I haven't yet sat down and tested the bluetooth side. Mostly because I want to focus on wifi, not bluetooth. I haven't yet sat down and figured out the bluetooth coexistence thing yet either. The code is in there, it's just not enabled. So if you load the firmware it'll bring up bluetooth but it and 2GHz wifi will interfere.

802.11n performance for AR9280
Hello, I have a question about 802.11n performance for AR9280 ( my card is Ubiquiti SR71E ) in hostap mode. To measure performance, I'm looking at the download speeds from my file server (Samba) through a FreeBSD AP to a laptop with Centrino 6300 (agn 3x3:3). I see 3-4 MBytes/s on the 2.4 GHz band (using ht/20 or ht/40 - doesn't matter) and around 5-6 MB/s on the 5 GHz band (ht/40). The laptop is running Win 7 and can do 8-9 MB/s with a commercial AP (2.4 GHz ht/20 2x2:2) I run 9.1-RELEASE GENERIC and the question is this is the expected performance (from 9.1 RELEASE ) or I'm just doing something wrong? May be bad antennas or wires? If it is expected and I need to switch to HEAD to do better, can I only update the ATH_module_releated_stuff and leave the rest of the base untouched? Any comments would be helpful! Gleb --- Here is some info about the system: Right now it is configured for 2.4 GHz simply because of the range. With 5 GHz I need to in the same room with the AP to get the speeds I mentioned. uname -a FreeBSD fwall 9.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE #0 r243825: Tue Dec 4 09:23:10 UTC 2012 r...@farrell.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 pciconf -lv ath0@pci0:3:0:0:class=0x028000 card=0x4e050777 chip=0x002a168c rev=0x01 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Atheros Communications Inc.' device = 'AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)' class = network /etc/rc.conf wlans_ath0=wlan0 create_args_wlan0=wlanmode hostap ifconfig_wlan0=apbridge mode 11ng ht channel 3:ht/40 hostapd_enable=YES#for wlan0 hostapd_program=/usr/local/sbin/hostapd #run from port instead of base ifconfig wlan0: flags=8943UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:15:6d:85:25:13 nd6 options=29PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect mode 11ng hostap status: running ssid badaboom-n channel 3 (2422 MHz 11g ht/40+) bssid 00:15:6d:85:25:13 country US ecm authmode WPA2/802.11i privacy MIXED deftxkey 2 AES-CCM 2:128-bit AES-CCM 3:128-bit txpower 27 scanvalid 60 protmode CTS -htcompat -ampdu ampdulimit 64k ampdudensity 8 -amsdu smps wme burst dtimperiod 1 -dfs /etc/hostapd.conf: ht_capab=[HT40+][SHORT-GI-20][SHORT-GI-40][TX-STBC][RX-STBC12][DELAYED-BA][MAX-AMSDU-7935][DSSS_CCK-40][LDPC][GF][SMPS-DYNAMIC][PSMP][LSIG-TXOP-PROT] (Here I used all available options.

Re: 802.11n performance for AR9280
Hi, 9.x doesn't implement 11n aggregation transmission. It only supports 11n MCS rate transmission (with no aggregation) and 11n RX with MCS and aggregation. If you update to -HEAD you should see the performance increase.

RE: 802.11n performance for AR9280
Thanks! Do you recommend to update everything or only ATH module will be enough? IE get all the sources and follow https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Or Download the ATH sources and make all install ?
