I'll fix the code to set the default to a > large number. Making it 2^31-1 seems to have no effect. My kernel is about 14 days old, maybe it was debörken in that time? Feb 25 22:40:32 luna sudo: jmallett : TTY=ttyp7 ; PWD=/usr/people/jmallett ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/sysctl hw.wi.txerate=2147483647 Feb 26 04:41:58 luna kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded Feb 26 04:42:13 luna last message repeated 9 times (jmallett@luna:~)18% sysctl hw.wi.txerate hw.wi.txerate: 2147483647 Soo... I tried your value: Feb 25 22:44:49 luna sudo: jmallett : TTY=ttyp7 ; PWD=/usr/people/jmallett ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/sbin/sysctl hw.wi.txerate=999999 Feb 26 04:45:00 luna kernel: wi0: tx failed, retry limit exceeded And then that's that. I'm confused?
