For mac80211, there are lots of differences, so I cannot tell.
I've run an iperf client on my laptop for several hours and : - first disconnect after 2h30 - second disconnect after 3h (some beacon loss messages after only 2h) - third disconnect after 15min My feeling is that either something is wrong in the RX path (so beacons are properly sent by the AP, but not received by zd1211rw and as such, not received by mac80211) or we transmit so much that the AP cannot transmit beacon anymore. I'll do more test. What TX throughput do you achieve (specifically during ftp upload) ?
