Subject: For Help: problems with tx bitrate in ath10k
Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2014 16:51:42 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5343B89E.2090407@dhc.com.cn> (raw)
Hi,all
I used the backports-3.13.2-1 to drive a 11ac card(WLE900VX) on the
ubuntu 12.04 LTS(64bit) (3.8.0-35-generic).
The card seemed to be working well when i connected it to a broadcom AC
APs and the card could also send or receive data normally.
But when using command 'iw dev wlan0 station dump' to check the actual
Rx and Tx rate, i couldn't get the tx bitrate correctly.
root@ubuntu:~$ iw dev wlan2 station dump
Station 10:48:b1:e8:17:a6 (on wlan2)
inactive time: 28680 ms
rx bytes: 903704
rx packets: 6747
tx bytes: 20731
tx packets: 163
tx retries: 1969
tx failed: 0
signal: -36 dBm
signal avg: -36 dBm
tx bitrate: MCS 32 40Mhz short GI
authorized: yes
authenticated: yes
preamble: long
WMM/WME: yes
MFP: no
TDLS peer: no
And sometimes the tx bitrate was 3693.3 MBit/s, 65.0 MBit/s, 6.5Mbit/s etc.
The start log as following.

About the reason of the warning info above,
when debugging the code, rate->flags was 0x0 and the rate->mcs value was
more than 32 in the function of cfg80211_calculate_bitrate,
but i didn't know why i got a wrong rate value.
/home/backports/net/wireless/util.c
u32 cfg80211_calculate_bitrate(struct rate_info *rate)
{
int modulation, streams, bitrate;
if (!(rate->flags & RATE_INFO_FLAGS_MCS) &&
!(rate->flags & RATE_INFO_FLAGS_VHT_MCS))
return rate->legacy;
if (rate->flags & RATE_INFO_FLAGS_60G)
return cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_60g(rate);
if (rate->flags & RATE_INFO_FLAGS_VHT_MCS)
return cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_vht(rate);
/* the formula below does only work for MCS values smaller than 32 */
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(rate->mcs >= 32))
return 0;
I tried other version of the firmware and backports, the test results
were as following:
a)The problem repeated when i tried firmware-2.bin_999.999.0.636.
b)The tx bitrate was fixed to 6MBit/s and there was no warning info in
the boot log when i adopted the latest development
releases(backports-20140221).
Is there anybody meets the same problem? If so, please give me some
suggestion on getting Tx rate properly.
Thanks.
Rex
