Again, rate[1] and rate[3] are the same, so why > bother setting it up twice? I remember from experimenting with rate control in madwifi that weird stuff can happens when you go above ATH_TXMAXTRY = 13 tx attempts in total (all mrr segments combined). We thought we saw some significant improvement on poor links when we reduced retries to fit the whole mrr chain into 13 retries in total, but we didn't have the equipment to really verify that. Perhaps something you could try Jonathan in your excellent testbed? /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
