[ath9k-devel] Interpreting link quality of cards driven by ath9k to estimate usable bandwidth?

2013-04-03 Thread Steffen Dettmer
Hi, man iwconfig tells, Link quality... depends totally on the driver and hardware. I would like to know how to interpret the value for WPEA-127N driven by ath9k - ideally to have a base value for estimation of useable bandwidth (i.e. how much data could be sent and received per time). Is

Re: [ath9k-devel] regarding disabling of carrier sensing in ath9k

2013-04-03 Thread Irene
Have you made any progress in disabling the back off / carrier sense? Because I have a similar project and I would really need some information. Did you made the modifications in the mac.c file? Thank you! ___ ath9k-devel mailing list

[ath9k-devel] Any idea if multi-vif can work with hw-encryption?

2013-04-03 Thread Ben Greear
In the old days, I heard that multiple station VIFs could not work with hardware encryption. Does anyone know if this is still true? And if so, is this a hardware/firmware issue, or is it some limitation that can be fixed in the driver? I'd like to try offloading at least some of the encryption

.. maybe for later chips and proxysta support? The problem is making sure that you can do both transmit and receive MAC addresses when doing encryption and decryption. Encryption is easier - we get to set which key explicitly. but on reception it needs to look at both.. Adrian On 3 April

Hi, The stable branch is 1.3. there's 1.3.1 release binaries and a 1.3 branch. The 1.4 stuff is for development. I believe someone is working on the right ath9k_htc check. I'd like ath9k_htc to check that the version is at least 1.3. Ie, my intention is from now on that = 1.3 API won't change
