Ethan: I've been looking at your dump more. What seems to be happening is that you're getting a reliable connection at CCK rates (low number of tx retries), then the rate control algorithm bumps you up to HT rates and you start getting a high number of retries. After a while you get bumped back down to CCK rates, and the tx retry count goes down again.
I honestly don't know much about the rate control algorithm, but from what I do know this behavior seems approximately right - push the rate up until you start having problems, then push it back a notch. If your connection feels flaky though then maybe it isn't being aggressive enough on the backoff or something like that. None of this should really have any bearing on the beacon loss issue however. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315221 Title: 8086:08b1 (rev 6b) [Dell XPS 13 9333] iwlwifi regularly loses connection/becomes unusable on Intel 7260 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
