Hi Marc,

You can set NO_ACK bit in Tx descriptor of each packet to indicate the 
hardware to not to wait for ACK, which in turn avoids retries for that 
particular packet.

If you set IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK flag in tx_ctl information, ath9k 
layer will take care of setting the Tx descriptor flag ATH9K_TXDESC_NOACK.

Regards
Pradeep

Hi there,
I tried to use "retry" command of iwconfig to avoid any retry.
I still see retries on the traces, although it is correclty set (Retry 
limit: 0)

Looking at the list archive I understood that retry command of iwconfig 
does not work or at least it is not possible to avoid all retries (see 
[https://www.mail-archive.com/ath9k-devel%40lists.ath9k.org/msg09951.html]]

Is it correct ?

If so, is there another way to suppress retransmit than by patching the 
firmware ?

Thx
Regards
