That seems slightly(!) too big.. Hi Adrian Did you manage make any progress with this ? I'm also seeing the same symptoms on our ARM boards.

11n in adhoc mode
Hi Finally got a 11n test setup running FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT on two ARM boards. HW = gateworks ARM OS = FreeBSD 10.0-CURRENT Build = arm-10-20121011 Wifi = RouterBOARD R52nM = AR9220 11n works if one device is in AP mode and the other in ST mode, but I can get it running with both devices in ADHOC mode. Is there a special switch or something that I need to toggle for 11n to work in ADHOC mode ?

Which vendors are you talking about. Are you planing to add support for any of them. We have a UHF wifi pilot project and was thinking of doing a frequency down convert to UHF.

Atheros 5413 + half/quarter width

Re: Ath - clients with weak signals not working after upgrade to FreeBSD 11.0
Ok, it's working fine with freebsd-9 Did some more tests with FreeBSD 11.0-CURRENT. I think the ANI problem is only there when the nodes are in ADHOC mode (default mode for our mesh). The same hardware setup works fine if the nodes are in AP/Client mode.

If you're able to shoehorn that in, let's see if that's the case. -a On 1 August 2014 02:20, Johann Hugo wrote: Hi Is it possible to disable ANI ? How should we go about to narrow down the problem ?

I wonder if it's changes in the ANI code. Forgot to mention that I only see the problem on cards with an Atheros 9220 chipset and not on older ones with an Atheros 5413 chipset. Right, but the main changes to the ANI code occured with the 11n HAL, not with the pre-11n chips. There's also changes to the initval arrays used in chip initailisation. That may have changed things. -a ___ freebsd-wireless@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-wireless To
