On that note, it doesn't seem like my wireless card (Atheros
AR2413-based miniPCI card) is actually operating at 11g:
ath0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr (redacted)
priority: 4
groups: wlan egress
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect (DS11 mode 11b)
status: active
ieee80211: nwid (redacted) chan (redacted) bssid (redacted)%
wpapsk <not displayed> wpaprotos wpa1,wpa2 wpaakms psk wpaciphers
tkip,ccmp wpagroupcipher tkip
inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::211:f5ff:fea7:abe1%ath0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
So we're talking about 9mbit here. Not that it matters, my ADSL2+
connection only gets to 6mbit. So keeping the 178Kbps for the low
priority queue and splitting the remainder down the middle leaves
~4Mbit for the norm and hi queues.
I've made the change to better reflect what my wireless link allows,
and I'm still getting the same problems. This is all on OpenBSD
4.6-release, by the way.
