Hi Ivo, > All patches are currently in testing, and I hope to send them to wireless-2.6 > next weekend.

Broadcom firmware actually has an ATIM queue *and* a broadcast/multicast queue, I would expect that you should actually put broadcast/multicast traffic onto the beacon queue (unless the beacon queue only sends one packet per beacon interval) ATIM is actually one of the things I haven't fully understood yet, see IEEE 802.11 11.2.2. > > 4. remove IEEE80211_TX_QUEUE_SVP, it's something strange and > > atheros specific > > I always wondered what the queue was. ;) spectralink voice protocol.

Maybe they just never got around to finishing that implementation. johannes
