Hi,
I have two patches pending in review:
(1) add better VHT160 support to net80211 (and LinuxKPI 802.11):
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D49773
I've applied this and am currently testing it Bjoern. It's working fine, but
I'm not seeing any difference I must confess :(
Now you are also one of the first people I see who have -vth160 but
vht80p80 (another thing I cannot test currently).
In theory that should be used too. I'll defer this until we sorted out
the "assoc to 5Ghz" issue but I'll try to keep it in mind.
Lots of health,
/bz
Incidentally, I created a guest network on my Deco wireless, and only enabled
5ghz. That's at least forcing my laptop to choose it over 2.4.
ifconfig -v wlan0 is below. If there's any further information I can gather,
please just ask :)
Many thanks!
