Re: Ath - clients with weak signals not working after upgrade to FreeBSD 11.0

Ok, it's working fine with freebsd-9 Did some more tests with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT. I think the ANI problem is only there when the nodes are in ADHOC mode (default mode for our mesh). The same hardware setup works fine if the nodes are in AP/Client mode. Johann On 08/01/2014 19:56, Adrian

Hi After an upgrade from FreeBSD 9.0 to 11.0 I'm losing comms to some of the wifi clients that worked when I was using FreeBSD 9.0 (long distance links in mesh) On CURRENT the devices are still showing with list sta, but the idle counter keeps growing + no comms to them. FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE

I think the idle counter there is the receive idle counter. Ie, it's not hearing frames from them. See if you can figure out what frames it isn't hearing. The RSSI's look fine. So there's likely something else odd going on -a On 31 July 2014 13:00, Johann Hugo jh...@meraka.csir.co.za wrote:

Hi, Yeah, run athstats 1 on both to see what kind of difference(s) there are in transmit/receive statistics. I wonder if it's changes in the ANI code. -a On 31 July 2014 14:14, Johann Hugo jh...@meraka.csir.co.za wrote: On Thursday 31 July 2014 13:43:34 Adrian Chadd wrote: I think the
