[ath9k-devel] ath9k greenfield mode support

[Daniel Wunderlich]

Hi all,

i am analysing a AR9380 chipset to get a feeling about the performance in 
different modes and configurations. I know that some wireless cards offer 
the possibility to setup a greenfield mode to transmit in 802.11n only.

The ath9k does not contain any line of code with this functionality. Does 
the AR9380 chipset support GF-mode? If so, is there any intention to 
implement this in ath9k driver?

Thanks in advance, Daniel

Nope, and nope!

No greenfield-HT support. You can just disable letting non-n clients
associate, but that isn't really "greenfield."

Hi,
I can not disclose any details about it here, but the equipment based on AR92xx and
AR93xx chips supporting GF is available on the market. I redirect any questions to the
Atheros and Qualcomm. I can only acknowlege what this feature increase the throughput
up to 8% and makes a traffic "invisible" to a convetional 802.11abgn equipment.

Regards,
Alex.
