That's definitely something in the right direction. Ok, I've just created a dirty hack to trace some of the register reads/writes. I used following test setup: Two Hornets, one is the "internet gateway" (just attached using ethernet to a test server) and is running one AP vif with standard OpenWRT settings. The other Hornet is placed next to it (only some centimeter far away) and is connected to the AP using WiFi. The client device is just trying to download a large file using HTTP. The serial consoles on both devices will now print the "same" log. I already searched for the interesting section. It is started in ath_ani_calibrate and contains ~42 register access operations. My best guess is the REG_RMW_FIELD for ATH9K_ANI_MRC_CCK in ar9003_hw_ani_control (just checked sync_cause before and after the access). So, now I need some input again from the guis with the spec. :) Kind regards, Sven -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
