We have been working hard on trying to find what the cause to the throughput issue is. > How's throughput with this version of the aggregation patch? Please test and let us know, try HT40 on 11a. We're keen on resolving this just as with the MIB interrupt issue you say ;) BTW you need more than this patch to get aggregation working. Below are the patches you'll need on top of 2.6.27-rc7 to get aggregation working (and your MIB interrupt storm fixed) with ath9k: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/mcgrof/patches/ath9k/2008-09-25 Luis -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
