Hi,
I have been testing it with an HTC desire and the device disconnect and
reconects every 10 seconds unless there is an active data connection.
It's not usable

*Hi please use the latest wireless testing which has some important fixes.
* Sujith had also sent RFC patches to mailing list for enabling AP
mode with the updated firmware.

Hello,
I have applied the patches that Sujith posted last night with the latest 
compat drivers and my HTC now works without issues.
I have also loaded it with 6 more stations and it worked fine for a 
while but after a few minutes I got a kernel trace.
The system is an IBM T61 with Fedora14 i386 and the latest packages.
Trace bellow:

Don't know because of the patch or it was there before itself.
Anyway thanks!

What's your setup ? Can you post your hostapd config ?

Are the stations in legacy mode or HT mode ? Is any station using
powersave ? What kind of traffic is being run ?

The line in question is from net/mac80211/tx.c:

	/* uh huh? */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0))
		return 0;

Dunno what that "uh huh?" is supposed to mean.

may be should we put WARN-ON after checking this flag IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS

like this was done

if (info->control.rates[i].flags & IEEE80211_TX_RC_MCS)
                       WARN_ON(info->control.rates[i].idx > 76);

Hi Sujith,
The environment is all legacy. No HT features enabled.
I believe there is at least one station running powersave, because I got 
this message from hostapd:
wlan1: STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb IEEE 802.11: authenticated
wlan1: STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb IEEE 802.11: associated (aid 2)
wlan1: STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb RADIUS: starting accounting session 
4D39A118-00000001
wlan1: STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb WPA: pairwise key handshake completed (WPA)
wlan1: STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb IEEE 802.11: deauthenticated due to local 
deauth request
Data/PS-poll frame from not associated STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb
Data/PS-poll frame from not associated STA 90:4c:e5:b7:d2:cb


The wireless interface is running bridged with a VLAN ethernet interface.
Traffic is mostly ssh and some http and it's bellow 500 kbps
We have another AP (Cisco) running with the same SSID on a different 
channel and stations hop between them both without problems.
Since this is our office, I immediately switched of the hostap when I 
got this message to avoid disrupting my colleagues work. But I can 
repeat the test on Monday if you like.
hostapd config bellow:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/hostapd
ctrl_interface_group=wheel

macaddr_acl=0
auth_algs=3
ignore_broadcast_ssid=0

wpa=1
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP CCMP
wpa_passphrase=XXXXXXXXXX
driver=nl80211


interface=wlan1
hw_mode=g
channel=11
ssid=ISP_Outsourcers
bridge=br0

Regards,
Jorge

As the Rate Control is handled in firmware the tx rate status is not
reported properly and this is the cause  of warning.
To remove this warning we can do(not a fix)

-       /* uh huh? */
-       if (WARN_ON_ONCE(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0))
+       if (!(local->hw.flags & IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL)) {
+               if (WARN_ON_ONCE(info->control.rates[0].idx < 0))
                return 0;
+       }

Well, this doesn't fix the issue.
And warnings are present in the code for a reason. :)

My first post, please feel free to criticize.
I have bought mentioned USB stick, I saw some note about HOST AP mode for win,but I sadly found I am not able to run master (AP) mode under linux (compat-wireless 2010-12-14)
I did some wifi driver development some time ago - and I would love to help developaccess point code for this USB
please point me in the right direction.
thanks a lotbest regardsmulisak

AP mode is yet to be supported in htc. Please refer to this

Sujith's patches can be used to test basic AP mode functionality. We
are working on addressing the buffering mode cleanly and the new set
of patches should be available by first week of January 2011. Let me
know if you are interested in doing some verification.

I am also interested in AP mode support for htc.
I will gladly help to test the patches.

I too am very interested in the development of htc AP functionality; i
bought a TL-WN722N device specifically for this knowing full well the
drivers weren't done yet :-)

any updates on this front?

impatiently waiting patiently,

There are a few issues with PS-buffering which requires modifications in the firmware.
Hopefully, something will be posted soon.

Hello,
I own a TL-WN722N, applied the patch (1/2) and
I'm able to associate to the device in AP mode with hostapd.

I can even authenticate in WPA2 mode,
which I can't do with a ralink rt2870 based device 
that is supposed to work properly in AP mode
The traffic throughput also seems fine.

Can you explain what are the limitations of not having the 
buffering mode working?

For what I can understand, that only affects clients with 
power saving enabled.
Is this correct?

Regards

Yes correct, developers are working to bring that in firmware to make
it perfect.

i have the same USB device (TL-WN722N) as well.  i'd like to try the
simpler patches in my home network... what are the consequences of not
properly handling power save mode?  i have multiple android phones
that i'm guessing make use of this feature; does it simply translate
to dropped/missed packets, or something more?

thanks,

C Anthony
