I write here since I am currently performing experiments in which I need specifically to disable RTS frames. Intuitively, I tried to set iw phyXX set rts off but btained counter-intuitive results, since RTS effectively dissappear only for low traffic demands from upper layers (around 1Mbps with 3 nodes). Testing with 3 Mbps make the RTS appeared despite the RTS setting. Is there a way to set minstrel_ht not to use RTS (no matter the clever or not it is) ? I have searched a bit on the archive but this seems the only conversation that deals with that. Thank you very much for any information!

If you send a patch for that, I'm ok with it. The default should be RTS off, but rc may still use it. - Feli -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@...
