Testing shows that adjusting the slot time based on the coverage class produces very high latencies and very low throughput on long distance links. Adjusting only the ACK timeout and leaving the slot time at the regular values - while technically not optimal for CSMA - works a lot better on long links (tested with 10 km distance) Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c index 856a76e..3c8db81 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/hw.c @@ -808,7 +808,7 @@ void ath9k_hw_init_global_settings(struct ath_hw *ah) if (conf->channel && conf->channel->band == IEEE80211_BAND_2GHZ) acktimeout += 64 - sifstime - ah->slottime; - ath9k_hw_setslottime(ah, slottime); + ath9k_hw_setslottime(ah, ah->slottime); ath9k_hw_set_ack_timeout(ah, acktimeout); ath9k_hw_set_cts_timeout(ah, acktimeout); if (ah->globaltxtimeout != (u32) -1) -- 1.7.3.2 -- 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
