Hello togethter,
i just bought a WN951N BGN Atheros based 3*3 MIMO Card for my Linux-box to act as AP in Mastermode for my new N-Network.
On The other Side there is an Atheros based D-Link DWA-160 (Rev A) ABGN USB-Card connected to a Windows XP Laptop.
thee good: The WN951N just worked out of the box with a new kernel and newest hostap-version.
After i played arround with the hostap.conf (especially with the ht_capab param) i get a stable link-connecten.
but performance is not that good i expected. I made a few test with uploading a 1 GIG file to / from the Linux Box:
WN951N --> DWA-160: 5713,27KB/s
DWA-160 --> WN951N : 5292,08KB/s
Windows display during these test in the WLAN-Utility a Link-Speed between 240 and 300 MBit.
When i put some of the [SHORT-GI-40] or [GF] or [SMPS-STATIC] parameters in the hostap.conf, hostapd wont start (in case of [GF] or [SMPS-STATIC]: not supported by device) or the link between WN951N and
DWA-160 always disconnects after a fews seconds (in case of [SHORT-GI-40]).
do you have any hints for me for better link performance?
PS:
Are there actually 3*3 MIMO ABGN (DUAL-Band) PCI-Cards (not miniPCI) aviable supported by ATH9K? Will there be a possibility to put one card in master-mode in A and G mode simulaniously - so i have 2 AP's with one card?
Thanks for help
Thomas

# Station inactivity limit
#
# If a station does not send anything in ap_max_inactivity seconds, an
# empty data frame is sent to it in order to verify whether it is
# still in range. If this frame is not ACKed, the station will be
# disassociated and then deauthenticated. This feature is used to
# clear station table of old entries when the STAs move out of the
# range.
#
# The station can associate again with the AP if it is still in range;
# this inactivity poll is just used as a nicer way of verifying
# inactivity; i.e., client will not report broken connection because
# disassociation frame is not sent immediately without first polling
# the STA with a data frame.
# default: 300 (i.e., 5 minutes)
#ap_max_inactivity=300
# Enable/disable internal bridge for packets between associated stations.
#
# When IEEE 802.11 is used in managed mode, packets are usually send through
# the AP even if they are from a wireless station to another wireless station.
# This functionality requires that the AP has a bridge functionality that sends
# frames back to the same interface if their destination is another associated
# station. In addition, broadcast/multicast frames from wireless stations will
# be sent both to the host system net stack (e.g., to eventually wired network)
# and back to the wireless interface.
#
# The internal bridge is implemented within the wireless kernel module and it
# bypasses kernel filtering (netfilter/iptables/ebtables). If direct
# communication between the stations needs to be prevented, the internal
# bridge can be disabled by setting bridge_packets=0.
#
# Note: If this variable is not included in hostapd.conf, hostapd does not
# change the configuration and iwpriv can be used to set the value with
# 'iwpriv wlan# param 10 0' command. If the variable is in hostapd.conf,
# hostapd will override possible iwpriv configuration whenever configuration
# file is reloaded.

##### IEEE 802.1X-2004 related configuration ##################################

#ieee8021x=1
# IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL version
# hostapd is implemented based on IEEE Std 802.1X-2004 which defines EAPOL
# version 2. However, there are many client implementations that do not handle
# the new version number correctly (they seem to drop the frames completely).
# In order to make hostapd interoperate with these clients, the version number
# can be set to the older version (1) with this configuration value.
#eapol_version=2
# Optional displayable message sent with EAP Request-Identity. The first \0
# in this string will be converted to ASCII-0 (nul). This can be used to

# Use PAE group address (01:80:c2:00:00:03) instead of individual target

# is only used by one station.
#use_pae_group_addr=1
##### Integrated EAP server ###################################################
# Optionally, hostapd can be configured to use an integrated EAP server
# to process EAP authentication locally without need for an external RADIUS
# server. This functionality can be used both as a local authentication server
# for IEEE 802.1X/EAPOL and as a RADIUS server for other devices.
# Use integrated EAP server instead of external RADIUS authentication
# server. This is also needed if hostapd is configured to act as a RADIUS
# authentication server.

# This may point to the same file as server_cert if both certificate and key

# used by commenting out server_cert and specifying the PFX file as the
# private_key.

# Passphrase for private key
#private_key_passwd=secret passphrase
# Enable CRL verification.
# Note: hostapd does not yet support CRL downloading based on CDP. Thus, a
# valid CRL signed by the CA is required to be included in the ca_cert file.
# This can be done by using PEM format for CA certificate and CRL and
# concatenating these into one file. Whenever CRL changes, hostapd needs to be
# restarted to take the new CRL into use.
# 0 = do not verify CRLs (default)
# 1 = check the CRL of the user certificate
# 2 = check all CRLs in the certificate path

# If this is set (larger than 0) and acct_server is configured, hostapd will

# Enable WPA. Setting this variable configures the AP to require WPA (either
# WPA-PSK or WPA-RADIUS/EAP based on other configuration). For WPA-PSK, either
# wpa_psk or wpa_passphrase must be set and wpa_key_mgmt must include WPA-PSK.
# For WPA-RADIUS/EAP, ieee8021x must be set (but without dynamic WEP keys),
# RADIUS authentication server must be configured, and WPA-EAP must be included
# in wpa_key_mgmt.
# This field is a bit field that can be used to enable WPA (IEEE 802.11i/D3.0)

##### Passive scanning ########################################################
# Scan different channels every N seconds. 0 = disable passive scanning.
#passive_scan_interval=60
# Listen N usecs on each channel when doing passive scanning.
# This value plus the time needed for changing channels should be less than
# 32 milliseconds (i.e. 32000 usec) to avoid interruptions to normal
# operations. Time needed for channel changing varies based on the used wlan
# hardware.
# default: disabled (0)
#passive_scan_listen=10000
# Passive scanning mode:
# 0 = scan all supported modes (802.11a/b/g/Turbo) (default)
# 1 = scan only the mode that is currently used for normal operations
#passive_scan_mode=1
# Maximum number of entries kept in AP table (either for passive scanning or
# for detecting Overlapping Legacy BSS Condition). The oldest entry will be
# removed when adding a new entry that would make the list grow over this
# limit. Note! Wi-Fi certification for IEEE 802.11g requires that OLBC is
# enabled, so this field should not be set to 0 when using IEEE 802.11g.
# default: 255
#ap_table_max_size=255
# Number of seconds of no frames received after which entries may be deleted
# from the AP table. Since passive scanning is not usually performed frequently
# this should not be set to very small value. In addition, there is no
# guarantee that every scan cycle will receive beacon frames from the
# neighboring APs.
# default: 60
#ap_table_expiration_time=3600
# Multiple BSSID support
#
# Above configuration is using the default interface (wlan#, or multi-SSID VLAN
# interfaces). Other BSSIDs can be added by using separator 'bss' with
# default interface name to be allocated for the data packets of the new BSS.
#
# hostapd will generate BSSID mask based on the BSSIDs that are
# configured. hostapd will verify that dev_addr & MASK == dev_addr. If this is
# not the case, the MAC address of the radio must be changed before starting
# hostapd (ifconfig wlan0 hw ether <MAC addr>).
#
# BSSIDs are assigned in order to each BSS, unless an explicit BSSID is
# specified using the 'bssid' parameter.
# If an explicit BSSID is specified, it must be chosen such that it:
# - results in a valid MASK that covers it and the dev_addr
# - is not the same as the MAC address of the radio
# - is not the same as any other explicitly specified BSSID
#
# Please note that hostapd uses some of the values configured for the first BSS
# as the defaults for the following BSSes. However, it is recommended that all
# BSSes include explicit configuration of all relevant configuration items.
#
#bss=wlan0_0
#ssid=test2
# most of the above items can be used here (apart from radio interface specific
# items, like channel)
#bss=wlan0_1
