Subject: [ath9k-devel] getting 11n to work?
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:43:21 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20091028204321.5dee58ad@bnc.JUSTUS> (raw)
Hi,
I have not been able to compile wireless-testing because of the
stlc45xx error I posted.
While waiting for a response I decided to do some more testing/checking.
I have a laptop with an 11n card in it and running a late kernel. I
checked the kernel and found that all the 11n stuff has been turned on
and the ATH9K module, see below, seems to be ok too.
I forced my router, dlink 655-dir, to go to ch 11
Wireless Radio : Enabled
802.11 Mode : Mixed 802.11n and 802.11g
Channel Width : 40MHz
Channel : 11
Secondary Channel : 9
WISH : Inactive
Wi-Fi Protected Setup : Disabled
However, it was still connecting at 11g.
The iw list below shows that the MCS only goes to 7 when I thought it
should go to 15?
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Brian
