[ath9k-devel] Do 11n rates available in ad-hoc mode

[xxiao]

Luis,

Can you elaborate a bit further or give some guidance? I would like to first give MCS a try but don't know how to do it.

If adding HT code to mesh/ibss is the only way to go, it will involve both mac80211/ath9k, I began to check ht.c, ibss.c, mlme.c and any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
X Xiao (xxiao)

[ath9k-devel] adhoc 11n support

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

Quoting Jouni's response to me regarding 11n "adhoc" as per IEEE:

<jm> mcgrof: IBSS support in 802.11n is not a specific part of the draft, i.e., one needs to go through 
                the full draft.. for example, there are IBSS-related specification in 7.3.2.57, 9.13.3.1, 10.3.2.2.2, 
                11.5.1.1, 11.9.7.2, 11.14.1, 11.14.2; in addition, some AP mode requirements apply, e.g., for radar 
                detection/DFS, but we are currently handling those by just denying IBSS on channels that could require DFS

So if you get a chance please be sure to read through all that and then send patches for mac80211.
