I am trying to test out an attenuator. For now, I have only a single attenuator,
so I set tx and rx chainmask to 0x1 on both AP and Station machine.
I then connected channel 0 on the two machines together through the
attenuator.
I have two station interfaces on the station machine. They both
seem to associate OK, but they cannot receive dhcp responses.
It *seems* that broadcast packets may go through fine.
If I force the rate down to 1x1 or 2x2 MIMO (or force disable /n
and just use /a), then it appears to work fine.
Nics are WPEA-127n (AR9380). Kernel is 3.5.1+ on AP, 3.5.2+ on station
machine.
I can see why forcing it down to 1x1 might work around some issue,
but I find it funny that 2x2 works while 3x3 does not.
Did you set the chainmask manually via debugfs? If so, don't do that!
Use the nl80211 antenna control API (e.g. via iw)
I was using debugfs....will check out using 'iw'.
Thanks,
