From: Thomas Zander To: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-BeenThere: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: Production branch of FreeBSD source code List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:01:39 -0000 Hi, from the mailing lists I couldn't figure out whether 11n is supposed to work on stable since the existing mail threads seem to focus on current exclusively. And since the option exists in the stable kernel code as well, albeit neither in GENERIC nor in NOTES, I thought I could give it a try anyway. I had some partial success. Test in station mode, WPA2 associated properly, light traffic (browsing the web) seems to work okay as well. However as soon as I try to really push some data through it, e.g. rsync large files, the card drops all network traffic until I disassociate and re-associate with the access point again (e.g. netif restart). If 11N is just not ready in -stable yet, it's not a problem, but if it's supposed to work, I'd begin to collect debugging information. So, is it supposed to work on a 9-stable as of today? Best regards Riggs
