Hi There Fixing the speed on DS/11Mbps corrected one of the debug errors (ath_rate_ctl: 2M -> 1M (0 ok, 1 err, 1 retr)) but I still with this 2 : I think this error (ath_start: encapsulation failure) its cousing Ierrs and the Oerrs on the netstat, becouse is doing it all the time same with the Ierrs and Oerrs ath_calibrate: channel 2437/e0 ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure ath_start: encapsulation failure thnaks Eric Anderson wrote: > Eric Anderson wrote: > > [..snip..] > >>> ath_rate_ctl: 2M -> 1M (0 ok, 1 err, 1 retr) >> >> >> >> If you are down to 1M, I think you may need to check signal strength >> and such.
