Can people share how they tune their waveLAN drivers? I have played with machdep.wl_xmit_delay (in sysctl) and find that with my AMD K6/200MHz machine it is best at about 600-750 us. However, with my point-point link (I am using two directional antennae over a distance), I am dropping about 8-10% of packets. This causes erratic behavior, presumably because of TCP backoff. What is the best way to tune this so that you get optimal performance? Any other tips?
