Making it 2^31-1 seems to have no effect. My kernel is about 14 days old,
maybe it was deb�rken in that time?
Feb 25 22:40:32 luna sudo: jmallett : TTY=ttyp7 ; PWD=/usr/people/jmallett ; USER=root
; COMMAND=/sbin/sysctl hw.wi.txerate=2147483647
Feb 26 04:41:58 luna kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
Feb 26 04:42:13 luna last message repeated 9 times
([EMAIL PROTECTED]:~)18% sysctl hw.wi.txerate
hw.wi.txerate: 2147483647
Soo... I tried your value:
Feb 25 22:44:49 luna sudo: jmallett : TTY=ttyp7 ; PWD=/usr/people/jmallett ; USER=root
; COMMAND=/sbin/sysctl hw.wi.txerate=999999
Feb 26 04:45:00 luna kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded
And then that's that. I'm confused?
Thanx,
juli.
