Re: [ath9k-devel] Question about ath9k signal strength (AP mode)

Hi All, Some VERY good questions. A *LOW* level interface would seem like a good beginning. i.e.- So anyone can confirm what is really going on at the RF level and confirm things are working as expected. Maybe that is a called a debug interface ??!! IMHO - there is a LOT of

Hi All, I notice that the wireless driver version in xpud works reliably, while the version in puppy does not? The puppy version comes up OK, but then dies after a short time (minutes)? I wonder if the wireless driver can (easily?) be arranged to be kernel version independent? It would

Hi, You can be *SURE* that the hardware has the capability of measuring lots of things about the incoming signal(s). Some of the manufacturer provided drivers may give clues as to what and where these are. I have always felt that a real-time monitoring of the memory used by the driver

Hi All, preaching The chip *FOR SURE* *CANNOT* measure the thermal noise level!! It isn't that sensitive. That said under some conditions it CAN measure the local interference level which IS useful. I am *VERY MUCH* in favor of making real time level measurements of various parts of

Hi, I see occasional junk as reported signal strength too !! Buggy Atheros code or hardware I assume. Regards, Wiz On Thu, 11 Mar 2010, yingqiang Ma wrote: [NON-Text Body part not included] ___ ath9k-devel mailing list

Hi, So is the problem with 5/10 operation JUST in software? Is the hardware capable of 5/10 ? Thanks. On Tue, 15 Dec 2009, Luis R. Rodriguez wrote: On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 01:16:29AM -0800, Robert Budde wrote: On Mon, Dec 14, 2009 at 11:19:47AM -0800, Luis R. Rodriguez wrote:

Hi All, It seems to me that this WHOLE wireless mesh business began when someone at MIT hacked the Atheros driver I assume they either had sources or a good MIPS reverse compiler? Maybe both? The openwrt.org 'more or less' open Atheros driver doesn't work reliably on my Meraki Minis
