Here are a bundle of joy of fixes for power save. Some of
these are regressions, which sucks ass to find out about them
so late. We *really* need a regression testbed for mac80211 and
ath9k. Some stable fixes trickle down to 2.6.32 even.
We're working on supporting ath9k for the virtual interfaces
in our system, and we do our own regression testing.
Neat, so does Google, they talked about this at the Wireless summit.
They have stuffed their code into their version of autotest:
http://code.google.com/p/autotest/
The upstream autotest:
http://autotest.kernel.org/
I have yet to check this code out though.
Aside from normal traffic passing, do you have any test
cases you'd like to see run?
What I think we need is to take advantage of the random users of
wireless-testing / compat-wireless out there and their different APs
and get collection of test results of some basis tests. A very simple
series of test cases like authentication, association, enabling power
save and keeping that connection alive for a period of time, and some
simple iperf runs would go long way.
On very specific testsbeds though like yours and Google's we can focus
more on more complex items like roaming. We can actually still
accomplish automated roaming tests by using Orbit's mobile robot, as
it goes around a grid of APs. It would be very helpful if regression
tests had published results publicly. It would be really helpful if we
had more coordination between those who are doing regression tests.
Our normal testing efforts would be good at long-term traffic generation
(1+ days) using our tool which is somewhat similar to iperf.
We haven't bothered with roaming before, but might can work that in for
at least limited testing. Maybe a laptop running hostapd strapped on a roomba
would be fun :)
When we can get the virtual station (and hopefully virtual APs) stuff
stable, we'll start doing some tests and try to figure out how to publish
it in a useful manner for others.
The all in one git am'able file can be downloaded here:
http://bombadil.infradead.org/~mcgrof/patches/ath9k/2010/09/all-ps-fixes-09-14-v1.patch
Is there any way to get automated emails for commits going into
wireless-testing?
You can subscribe to the RSS feed via http://git.kernel.org for it maybe.
I was hoping someone had a post-receive trigger sending email to some list
that I could subscribe to.
Thanks,
Ben
