I was the same. I got these two messages, but I'm only assuming it's related because the val makes me think of the pci id. These were while using 16GB, and trying an ifconfig scan. Apr 1 16:32:51 jri kernel: Memory modified after free 0xfe003ce3a000(4096) val=168c000c @ 0xfe003ce3a0

802.11n performance for AR9280

Hello, I have a question about 802.11n performance for AR9280 ( my card is Ubiquiti SR71E ) in hostap mode. To measure performance, I'm looking at the download speeds from my file server (Samba) through a FreeBSD AP to a laptop with Centrino 6300 (agn 3x3:3). I see 3-4 MBytes/s on the 2.4 GHz b

Hi, 9.x doesn't implement 11n aggregation transmission. It only supports 11n MCS rate transmission (with no aggregation) and 11n RX with MCS and aggregation. If you update to -HEAD you should see the performance increase. Adrian On 1 April 2013 15:10, Gleb Romanov wrote: > Hello, > > I have

Thanks! Do you recommend to update everything or only ATH module will be enough? IE get all the sources and follow https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html Or Download the ATH sources and "make all install" ? Gleb > -Original Message- > From: adrian.ch.

... and that particular value means that some TX descriptor was written into free'd memory. Sigh. As I said, I'll chase this down later, but I don't think it's the root cause of your bug. I still have a lot more review of the TX path and descriptor handling but it may take some time. Thanks, a
