Query on iw command to set txq params

Query on iw command to set txq params

[Phani Siriki]

Hi All

I am trying to apply the path mentioned below to set txq params using
iw command.

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg42585.html

But I am getting below error.

root@teste-VirtualBox:~/old_iw/iw-0.9.17# ./iw list | grep Wiphy
Wiphy mn00s05
Wiphy mn00s04
Wiphy mn00s03
Wiphy mn00s02

I am using mininet wifi to create topology with 4 APs.

Could someone suggest how to proceed on this?

The patch is wrong (now?), it needs to use the *netdev* not just the
wiphy.

Hi Johannes Berg

Thank you for your reply.

Could you please point me to any reference implementation I can check
to make the correct modification?

Hi Johannes Berg

I am trying to change the parameters for wireless mesh backbone
router. Is hostapd used for AP type configuration?
