Hi all, Can anyone advise on what rate control mechanism ath9k-rate-control is based on, as for example Atheros chipsets use "Onoe", and Minstrel Rate Adaptation, from what I know is based on "SampleRate". Also is there any documentation on the ath9k-rate-control algorithm, and/or can someone giv

Hi, Thanks for replying Adrian, OK, just for clarity, you are saying for 1-stream STBC NICs (AR9380/9280), when I enable STBC from hostapd, the driver only transmits in STBC (transmits multiple copies of data to each antenna) if it sending at MCSs 0-7 (1 stream rates), due to low signal quality or

Hi all, I am installing the AR9380 NIC on laptops, but some only have two UFL connectors, and thus I was wondering if using only two of the UFL antenna ports will have any negative effect or difference than installing a 2x2 NIC (AR9280 for example which has only 2 ports anyway). Please kindly e
