ar9170 in AP mode

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

the ar9170 is not advertising its AP feature. However, hacking in the
bit allows me to run an AP on my D-Link DWA 160A with the sources of
yesterday's wireless-testing. Works mostly fine so far, just device
startup (firmware loading?) is sometimes a bit fragile, and rate control
seems to jump more than needed when the connection gets worse.

There was some telling the multicast transmission would not work, but I
just tested it and cannot confirm this. Did something change or does a
specific multicast scenario still fail? Otherwise I would like to see AP
mode enabled in the ar9170 so that it works without modifying kernel
sources. Would post a patch then.
