Hi All, I just wanted to report my experiences running different drivers on a debian/nslu2 system, little endian version with kernel 2.6.18. The device is Zonet ZEW2501 using a zd1211b chip. In all cases below I use wpa_supplicant to connect to a wpa2 psk access point.
Using the zd1211rw driver: - connects fine - performance is very low - around 70-80kilobytes/s - driver works reliably (does not hang) - does not work after rebooting Using the zd1211-r83 driver: - connects fine - performace fine at the beginning - the driver hangs after a while - which is already known - seems to work after rebooting Using the zydas/atheros driver ver. 2_15_0_0 (ZD1211LnxDrv_2_15_0_0.tar.gz): - connects fine - performance fine - around 1700kilobytes/s - need to use patched wpa_supplicant from atheros - driver works reliably (does not hang) - does not work after rebooting Some of this is already known, but I hope this information may be still useful for some. My main question is why the zd1211rw performance is so low? Is there a way to debug this problem? Thanks, Arek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
