Hello to all, I've been working with ad-hoc mode and master/station mode on several machines trying to test the Layer 2 performance over wireless links. I'm working with driver ath5k. After various tests with simple pings and using iperf (for hours) I see I never get a value different to 0 in the following variables according to /sys/class/net/$interface/statistics directory: rx_errors rx_length_errors tx_aborted_errors tx_compressed tx_errors rx_over_errors tx_carrier_errors rx_dropped rx_crc_errors tx_fifo_errors tx_dropped rx_frame_errors tx_heartbeat_errors multicast rx_fifo_errors tx_window_errors collisions rx_missed_errors rx_compressed This has been so for nodes in mode ad-hoc, managed and master. Is it possible that this directory is not being updated properly? I've been using: - compat-wireless-2.6.35-1 (kernel 2.6.35), compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2 (kernel 2.6.38). - driver ath5k. - all tests where performed using channel 1 for ad-hoc mode and channel 36 for master/station mode. - devices AR5413 802.11abg and AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter. Thanks in advance, Mariana. -- 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
