Re: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc mode
Ok. Thanks. I will try that. Reading an earlier post, https://lists.ath9k.org/pipermail/ath9k-devel/2009-November/002670.html , I thought there was a problem with IBSS mode, but maybe its fixed now or I probably have an older driver.. To reiterate an earlier question, does the current driver in git support 11N in ad-hoc mode? I haven't been able to figure out the current status of 11N + IBSS development from the mailing list. Please let me know.

But, I observe the exact same behavior as reported by the post - if I change the frequency to 2412, pings stop working in ad-hoc mode. Even if I re-insert the ath9k, it seem like the new frequency I set (2412) doesn't work. If I go back to the 5200 frequency after re-inserting ath9k module, pings start working again. Again, like the post stated, when I set 2412 using iw, I still see the old 5200 frequency in iwconfig. hm... You don't need to use a fixed frequency, nor fixed BSSID. Just use : iw dev wlan0 ibss join YourSSIID YourFrequency YourFrequency is only used if scanning did not find a neighbor node.

Re: [ath9k-devel] Ad-Hoc Mode under 802.11n
Rakesh Kumar a écrit : Hey Benoit, Did you get the patch to work? Yup, I work on it. However, i still miss some stuff to have an interesting throughput. Moreover, ath5k/ath9k beaconing code needs to be rewritten from scratch IMHO (I will probably use the madwifi code I did to propose some new code). The work I've done so far is in my git tree (ath9k branch) : http://git.popipo.fr/?p=rt2x00.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ath9k Regards, Benoit ___ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
Re: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc
I don't think there are any hardware limitations on using HT rates on ad-hoc mode but I may be wrong, maybe Louis or Johannes can clarify. If not then what is a good way to think about a hack? -- Rakesh On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 12:01 PM, xxiao austinxxh-at...@yahoo.com wrote: that's true, ath9k/adhoc works well under non-HT mode only. --- On Wed, 10/7/09, Rakesh Kumar gopchand...@gmail.com wrote: From: Rakesh Kumar gopchand...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc To: hong zhang henryzhan...@yahoo.com Cc: ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org Date: Wednesday, October 7, 2009, 5:29 PM For what I recall from your previous discussion on this list, the answer is NO, it does not support HT rates on adhoc mode.

Re: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc mode using 5 GHz channel (A band)

It is clear that Band 2 frequencies are unavailable in ad-hoc mode. Is it a limitation that I can bypass? If your regulatory settings are correct, you shouldn't. But it looks like you are using world regulatory settings. Try using iw reg set HU if you are in Hungary. Have you installed crda and wireless-regdb? A neat trick to get around passive-scan/no-ibss flag requirements is to scan. If you're lucky and have an AP nearby on that same channel those restrictions will be lifted as it is assumed APs can be trusted and should be beaconing only if allowed regulatory-wise. This is a feature enhancement of world roaming. If your card has a programmed regulatory domain for a country you are not world roaming.

Re: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc mode using 5 GHz channel (A band)
you probably should use iw to config ath9k instead of using iwconfig. something like: iw dev wlan0 set freq 2412 -or- iw dev wlan0 set channel 1 cheers, xxiao --- On Tue, 6/9/09, Peter Tarjan peter.tar...@birdtelecom.hu wrote: From: Peter Tarjan peter.tar...@birdtelecom.hu Subject: [ath9k-devel] ad-hoc mode using 5 GHz channel (A band) To: ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org Date: Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 11:08 AM Hi, I downloaded and compiled a 2.6.30rc7 kernel with ath9k.

Beaconing is disabled when no-ibss or passive scan flags are enabled (or dfs) . You would see something like this: * 5180 MHz [36] (30.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5200 MHz [40] (30.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5220 MHz [44] (30.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) * 5240 MHz [48] (30.0 dBm) (passive scanning, no IBSS) If you don't see these flags then beaconing should be allowed.
