Makes sense to me. I can start testing with available APs. Let me know if there is anything specific I should look for or catalog beyond latency, packet drop rates, and bandwidth. >> Emmanuel, do you happen to remember what was the issue, so Kevin >> could test that specific scenario with this specific NIC? > > long long nights of despair. > > We had issues with reclaim path upon BACK. This is of course a firmware > problem... Does that suggest the issue may have been fixed by a firmware update? For reference, I'm currently using "firmware version 9.221.4.1 build 25532" from the firmware-iwlwifi Debian package (version 20190114-1). If it would be helpful, I could attempt to bisect the firmware revisions to find the one that fixed it (assuming I can reproduce the issue with a previous firmware version). Thanks again, Kevin
