I see a lot of them too but they don't seem to hurt.

Perhaps digging into particular failure cases could teach us
something new and lead to driver improvements.
Feel welcome to investigate and let us know what you find.

'netstat -W athn0' shows several counters related to input failures
and should tell you where these input failures are coming from.

1915 input packets with mismatched ssid

The first looks like confused client devices. The second
looks like some ACKs we sent got lost for some reason.

Neither is a fatal problem.
Not every wireless frame dies happily.



athn0 Ifail on an old ALIX

2019-05-05 Thread Jan Stary
This is 6.5-current on an old ALIX 2D3 (full dmesg below) using
athn0 at pci0 dev 12 function 0 "Atheros AR9280" rev 0x01: irq 9
athn0: AR9280 rev 2 (2T2R), ROM rev 22, address 04:f0:21:01:d6:86

It is my home router. I am seeing a lot of Ifails on the athn0.
For example, this is after scp'ing a big file from a macbook
(connected to the gw through the athn wifi) to another box
(connected to the gw by ethernet):

$ netstat -I athn0 -finet 
NameMtu   Network Address  Ipkts IfailOpkts Ofail Colls
athn0   150004:f0:21:01:d6:86  2095294 84058  1912273 1519 0
athn0   1500  192.168.33/ gw.stare.cz2095294 84058  1912273 1519 0

The interface is configured as follows:

$ cat /etc/hostname.athn0  
inet 192.168.33.1 255.255.255.0 NONE
media autoselect mediaopt hostap mode 11g chan 11
nwid stare.cz wpakey SECRET

Is 84058 / 2095294 =~ 4% Ifail to be expected?
How can I debug this?

More generally, what is the "best" supported wifi hw/driver nowadays?
(Used to be athn when I assembled this machine years ago).
