One reason for this is aggregation: injected packets are not aggregated. Depending on your setup that could be the whole explanation. Also, a single fixed MCS index in the first slot of the tx control rates array will not perform as well as e.g. minstrel_ht, especially not if your radio environment is noisy. 10 Mbit/s sounds a bit slow though if you say you can get 60 in ap - sta mode. Perhaps you are cpu limited? /Björn -- 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
