Alright, I have disabled IPSec and updated the firmware to read: wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (1.1.0), Station (1.4.9) sysctl kern.wi_txerate=0 gives: sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.wi_txerate' I reran my test and I am still transfering at ~870Kb/s. netstat -i -I wi0 shows this after the transfers: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll wi0 1500 <Link#1> 00:05:5d:fa:0e:b0 29847 0 53331 59 557 wi0 1500 192.168.168 wifi 59 - 52085 - - Here is something odd that I found: I set the mediaopt to adhoc in rc.conf and rebooted again, and here is what I found (I was not sure how to clear the counters that you wanted in netstat so I rebooted): The same files transfer at ~5600Kb/s, so its back where it was with the old driver. Here is netstat -i again after this run: Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll wi0 1500 <Link#1> 00:05:5d:fa:0e:b0 27497 0 51230 13 452 wi0 1500 192.168.168 wifi 61 - 51200 - - So there are 4 times more Oerrs in hostap mode (59 to 13), and just a few more collisions. I almost forgot, here are ifconfig wi0 outputs: wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.168.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.168.255 ether 00:05:5d:fa:0e:b0 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <hostap> (DS/2Mbps <host ap>) status: associated ssid HaughtDom 1:HaughtDom stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 and with adhoc: wi0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.168.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.168.255 ether 00:05:5d:fa:0e:b0 media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet autoselect <adhoc> (DS/11Mbps <adho c>) status: associated ssid HaughtDom 1:HaughtDom stationname "FreeBSD WaveLAN/IEEE node" channel 3 authmode OPEN powersavemode OFF powersavesleep 100 wepmode OFF weptxkey 1 I can also start a transfer test in hostap mode (~670Kb/s) and use ifconfig to switch over to adhoc, and after a second or two while my laptop switches over, it transfers at ~5600Kb/s. I don't use wicontrol at all. My transfer test is just 67MB of mp3s off the fbsd machine. If you need any more info, just drop me a message. --Matt _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
