Oops my mistake, I also just checked the firmware which has the same: #define ATH_NODE_MAX 8 /* max no. of nodes */ Way off topic, but just in case anyone is interested, I just took a look: most of the memory cost is in struct ath_atx_tid, of which there are 8 per station, and each one is about 60 bytee. You could probably trim another 100 bytes or so by moving some struct elements around, but there's only around 4k in all for 8 stations, so memory on the device is quite limited. -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.open80211s.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
