Hi,
I had a bit of fun tonight after all and figured out what prevented me
from enabling VHT80P80 and VHT160 since January for testing. Patches
to come to review tomorrow (well that is today here). Turns out I cannot
test VHT80P80 currently.
This is likely the first VHT/160 assoc on FreeBSD so I thought I'd send
the email.
And I ran the simple silly iperf3 test.
Not much more than VHT80 but I am also sure I am starting to hit other
limits in this test setup. It goes from the AX210 in a bhyve instance
to AP to a small 4 port switch and back into em0 on the same laptop
just the base system running the iperf3 server.
Down there is UDP TX from the wifi set to 960Mbit/s target rate.
Don't expect that with single stream TCP. Yet another thing to debug ;)
Keep in mind we are still copying the full frame incl. data from
skb to mbuf or vice versa depending on direction and other fun bits
to optimize one day. I guess I'll try to find an AP supporting 11BE
and SFP+ for 10G DAC or fiber for christmas this year... until then it'll
be other things to get us stable first.
Try it our yourself please -- even with VHT80!
I'm in! :) Where do I get all this magic?
I'm also on an AX210 in an ideapad. I'm on current that's about a year out
(kernel/world). So as I perform the world/kernel dance I want to get the
right driver setup. Sorry for all the questions. But the WiFi page is a
year out of date. You indicated fwget(8) as the procedure. But I build
*everything*. So not an option. It seems it'd also be hard for a first
time install where you (as yet) have no connectivity. :)
Anyway. Is it enough to add net/wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod to PORTS_MODULES
in src.conf?
Thanks, and thank you very much for all the work you put into this!
