Hi,
this problem is pretty weird, it took me weeks to debug and now I don't
even think it has a lot to do with voyage-linux.
When trying to transmit on two atheros devices at the [1]same time, one
ath card becomes unresponsive. I switched the following components in
order to isolate factors:
card-vendors
------------
Ubiquity (XR2/XR5) and Wistron (CM9) cards
board types
-----------
ALIX board and a generic PC (Compaq)
OS types (AP side)
------------------
[2]FreeBSD 7 and voyage linux
hostapd
-------
with or without hostapd.
There were no CPU problems at any particular time and as far as I know,
the PCI bus should be able to handle a lot more than these two cards are
able to put on air.
I'm a bit lost, since I don't know what else I could test. Maybe someone
has similar experience or runs two mini-pci ath-cards without any
problems?
Thanks for any piece of advice,
Petar
[1] A setup like this:
[CLIENT1]
nc AP 1025 >/dev/null
\______
\
[ath0]
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M | nc -l -p 1025
[AccessPoint (AP)]
dd if=/dev/zero bs=1M | nc -l -p 1026
[ath1]
______/
[CLIENT2] /
nc AP 1026 >/dev/null
[2] FreeBSD was a bit verbose when the problem occured:
ath0: stuck beacon; resetting (bmiss count 4)
