Thanks for the quick response, Christian, >> Plus, I'm somewhat stuck with the situation, >> since I don't have much control over how things are arranged in this >> space, and because the other adapter I have on hand is even worse off, >> both in terms of hardware and drivers. > Fair enough. But what's the other adapter? It's a Belkin N150 (http://www.wikidevi.com/wiki/Belkin_F9L1001), which didn't seem to work for more that 30 seconds at a time, and had low throughput even then. The driver may have improved, or be easier to fix, since the last time I tried it, but the actual antenna on the device is not suitable for this environment and so I haven't been motivated to make it work. The "official" driver on Windows gave halfway serviceable performance, emphasis firmly on the "halfway". I may get around to re-testing/troubleshooting it if I want to use it elsewhere or if I'm bored some time, but that's really a different question. > Your problems sound somewhat familiar to > "Re: carl9170 driver - network connection breaks" > <http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/88223> > > So far no-one has been able to bisect the bug (last good was 3.1, so > to breakage must have occurred between 3.1 and 3.2). I would have > looked into it long ago, but I can't reproduce. I may see if I can bisect it, since evidently I can reproduce the bug quite easily. At the least I can find out if this really is the same problem and not present in kernel 3.1. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting. > PS: If your kernel was compiled with CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS you can > "restart" BA/aggregation sessions by > echo "tx stop 0" > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/netdev:wlanXY/stations/AP-MAC/agg_status > echo "rx stop 0" > /sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phyX/netdev:wlanXY/stations/AP-MAC/agg_status > alternatively: you can disable ht by loading the module with 'noht=1' parameter Thanks for the suggestion; I'll try this. I should note that, although I can't change the physical locations of anything here (at least for another month or two), I do manage both the machine and the wireless router. -- 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
