Hi,
I'm using an AR9223 in AP mode with latest compat-wireless-2009-12-11
drivers but I get bad performances.
SSH is unusable.
The link is fine when it works but sometimes it stalls for a few
seconds, which kills tcp performances:

there are no errors in the master and client syslog, all the clients
are using the same ath9k with an AR5416 card.
signal level is around -61 dBm at 3 meters, without walls.

This is an iperf from the AP to the client, definitely worse:

Do the stalls occur at regular intervals? I have a similar problem on
an AR9103 in AP mode. See my previous post 'Cyclic throughput at a
distance'.

2.4 GHz channels are usually quite crowded and CSMA/CA is more likely to 
delay the transmission if we are in HT40 (versus HT20). Could you do the 
same test in the 5 GHz band? or measure how much your channel is busy?

BTW, Did you check that powersave is disabled on both sides?

My radios can't do 5 GHz, sorry.

Nope, haven't solved it. I think I've patched the driver in 50 places
and it still goes up and down up and down in perfect cycles. Who needs
an atomic clock when you can just count the throughput cycles and know
exactly what time it is? :)

My current theory is that it's some sort of tx beamforming algo that
screws up once signal gets below -78 dBm or so. But you see the stalls
even with perfect signal, right? That never happens to me (which is
fortunate as I would be in an asylum by now if it did).

Does anybody know which register to fiddle with to turn off all
adaptive tx stuff (to debug)? It's an AR5416 MAC/BB with AR2133 radio.
Is it possible to get some hw documentation somewhere?

BTW, my setup is an unencrypted HT20 access point.

AR9280 is the PCI express device, but PCI devices exist as well
and those get the AR922x name, there should be no difference
other than the bus used so yes these are single chip as well.
