Hi, > I have a adhoc network of four laptops, I want to know how can I > enable RTS/CTS feature. Is RTS/CTS enabled by default ? In wicontrol I see > "RTS/CTS threshold : 2347", I have no idea what does this mean. You need change the value of this threshold to zero (or smaller size than 1500). Using this threshold, wireless NIC determines whether it needs rts/cts exchange or not. If the size (in bytes) of a tx frame is smaller than this threshold, NIC exchanges RTS/CTS control frames between its destination. Otherwise, it just sends a data frame, and wait for its ack in MAC. So if you want to enable RTS/CTS feature for every transmission of frame, you just set this threshold to zero.
