Hi,
I'm having some problems properly configuring ath5k. I'm trying to set
the retransmission count so that the card will not perform more than a
transmission:
iwconfig wlan0 retry 1
The command succeeds, and if I run iwconfig wlan0, it shows a
transmission of 1. However, the driver behaves as if it makes multiple
retransmissions (there was no decrease in throughput -- tested using
scp and the tcpdump trace seemed to indicate the presence of multiple
retransmissions). I tried to set the value directly using iwpriv and I
get wlan0 no private ioctls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are my iwconfig and lsmod output.
Thanks,
