I spent a few hours tinkering (tampering?) with this driver, and have not exactly a fix, but a clear indication of what the problem is. Verified (using the quick hack below): download speed geoes up from 170 kbytes/sec to 470 kbytes/sec, which is what I'd expect on an 11Mbps network. If anyone's interested, here it is: The Intersil manual on page 4-28 says that transmit packets need to have their TxRate field filled in with 10,20,55 or 110, depending on the transmission speed. The 4.X driver sets the field tx_frame.wi_tx_rate in function wihap_check_tx(), called from wi_start(). The 5.X driver calls this field frmhdr.wi_tx_rate, but leaves it zero. If you want to run at 11MBps, add a line frmhdr.wi_tx_rate = 110; in wi_start(), just before the call to wi_write_bap(). (Obviously, this is just a cheesy hack. The real code would have to find the actual tx rate. I just want to point out where the problem lies).Received on Sun May 16 2004 - 19:08:18 UTC
