Subject: Strange ACK Behaviour with ath9k
Date: Thu, 13 May 2010 18:04:40 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BEC2318.5050701@create-net.org> (raw)


Hi,

I'm having a very strange behaviour between two sr71a (ath9k) cards
operating in monitor mode. I'm using the following patch to specify
the transmission rate frame by frame:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/47441


However if I try to send some traffic between the two nodes with both
interfaces operating in monitor mode I can see from a third machine
using wireshark that albeit the frame is sent and the corresponding
ack generated, the originator seems to ignore the ACK and keepts
retransmitting the frame. This is happening on both ends of the
communication (i'm ping one node from the other).

As a matter of fact i thought that ACK are handled directly by the
firmware. Any hints?

R.
