toggle short / long preamble with hostapd
Hello, Does anyone know how to enable short preamble in 7-STABLE ? I'm using ath with hostapd in ap mode. It seems there was an option in hostapd.conf, but this is not in FreeBSD's /usr/share/examples/hostapd/hostapd.conf The missing hostapd.conf option was found in google: # Short Preamble # This parameter can be used to enable optional use of short preamble for # frames sent at 2 Mbps, 5.5 Mbps, and 11 Mbps to improve network performance. # This applies only to IEEE 802.11b-compatible networks and this should only be # enabled if the local hardware supports use of short preamble.

Re: toggle short / long preamble with hostapd
Sam, Basically I have a dlink WBR-1310 thats in bridge mode connected to my current BSD router ( 6.3) I'm trying to replace this 1310 product with FreeBSD 7. The last problem i'm dealing with is poor preformance. When I use my current BSD 7 setup it works, but ping times from client to another or even to the access point are bad. 100 - 400ms round trip.I had this exact problem with the 1310. The fix was to change from long to short preable. Been fine ever since. I used three computers to prove this before emailing. Just swapping the 1310 for the 7-STABLE corrects this. The 1310 uses g only mode with short preamble getting less then 5ms ping times to each client and host and vice-versa I realize that hostapd.conf is just for the encryption. However ifconfig and ath man pages do not talk about this setting. - Original Message - From: "Sam Leffler" To: "Sin" Cc: Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2009 11:16 AM Subject: Re: toggle short / long preamble with hostapd Sin wrote: Hello, Does anyone know how to enable short preamble in 7-STABLE ?

Re: kern/134658: [bce] bce driver fails on PowerEdge m610 blade.
Any news on the driver update for 5709S yet Dave? Regards Steve - Original Message - From: "Steven Hartland" Thanks for the update David, if there is anything we can do to help let us know. Regards Steve - Original Message - From: "David Christensen" Anyone point me in the right direction on how to add the phy to support these machine? Seems like its just a matter of adding the PHY details to miidevs but how do I find out the specifics of that? Sorry, this is the 5709S and I haven't had an opportunity to implement this PHY yet. Unfortunately it's more than just a change to miidevs since the SerDes is actually an IEEE clause 45 compliant device (instead of the more common Clause 22 devices found in 1GbE controllers). The registers are diffrerent so the effort is more substantial. No estimate yet on when I can get to it.
