[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1445840] Re: 10ec:8176 rtl8192ce 200-3200+ms latency on 802.11n 2.4GHz network with no load

2016-12-02 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Upstream long ago issued a patch intending to fix the originally
reported issue for my hardware only. Also, recently upstream has
revamped the driver. As I don't have the hardware anymore, I cannot
confirm the results.

  10ec:8176 rtl8192ce 200-3200+ms latency on 802.11n 2.4GHz network with

  Fix patch:
  https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg80063.html

  With a Asus PCE-N10 PCI-E Adapter Wireless N I have 10-20% packet loss
  on a 802.11n 2.4GHz network, 2-3200ms latency pinging just the gateway
  192.168.1.1, with no network load on either the router or the WiFi
  chipset. The computer is ~4 feet away from a Verizon Jetpack MiFi
  5510L connected to a power source, with no obstructions between them.
  Other clients (Ubuntu with different chipset, Windows) don't have this
  problem.

  With the router on battery only, Vivid live environment and mainline
  4.x, situation has improved, but still get bursts of 2 packets with
  300-450ms every 50-100 packets, with ~1% packet loss.

** Description changed:

  With a Asus PCE-N10 PCI-E Adapter Wireless N I have 10-20% packet loss
  on a 802.11n 2.4GHz network, 2-3200ms latency pinging just the gateway
  192.168.1.1, with no network load on either the router or the WiFi
  chipset. The computer is ~4 feet away from a Verizon Jetpack MiFi 5510L
  connected to a power source, with no obstructions between them. Other
  clients (Ubuntu with different chipset, Windows) don't have this
  problem.
  
  With the router on battery only, Vivid live environment and mainline
  4.0, situation has improved, but still get bursts of 2 packets with
  300-450ms every 50-100 packets, with ~1% packet loss.

Bug description:
  With a Asus PCE-N10 PCI-E Adapter Wireless N I have 10-20% packet loss
  on a 802.11n 2.4GHz network, 2-3200ms latency pinging just the gateway
  192.168.1.1, with no network load on either the router or the WiFi
  chipset. The computer is ~4 feet away from a Verizon Jetpack MiFi
  5510L connected to a power source, with no obstructions between them.
  Other clients (Ubuntu with different chipset, Windows) don't have this
  problem.

  With the router on battery only, Vivid live environment and mainline
  4.0, situation has improved, but still get bursts of 2 packets with
  300-450ms every 50-100 packets, with ~1% packet loss.
