[ath9k-devel] Low speeds when AP is very close to stations.

[Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>]

I put two ath9k (AR9300) nics in one machine, with
6 antenna poking out, and had one NIC be the AP
for the other.

It works, but I'm seeing lots of CRC errors and station-to-station throughput
is only about 5Mbps (one sending to the other).

I tried setting xmit power lower (to 4, for instance), but that
doesn't change the behaviour much.

Any suggestions for other tricks that might make this work
better?

Here's the lspci info for my adapters:

03:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor (rev 01)
04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9300 Wireless LAN adaptor (rev 01)

Thanks,
Ben
