Hi list,
I'm in the process of finding out why my Ubiquity SR7-e PCIe
module worked perfectly with the 29.12.2011-snapshot, while I
only see problems with the 13.01.2012-snapshot.
When testing the module for the first time with the December
snapshot, I thought I'd never saw a card working that well
before. I had perfect connectivity in all my flat - which has
extremely thick concrete walls, reducing my current WLAN to
about 2 rooms. This is the CE-version of the module, reduced to
100 dBm, BTW. I'm using two 20 dBm gain omni-antennas.
I then decided to install the latest snapshot. As of now, I can
configure the module as an AP, run it and associate with it from
a client node. I even get a DHCP lease from it. But that's it so
far.
Pinging the AP gives me an immediate
ping: sendto: Host is down
ping: wrote 10.10.10.1 64 chars, ret=-1
after I got a valid DHCP lease. Of course, any other IP traffic
doesn't work as well. I occasionally see a packet or another
show up in the AP's tcpdump output, but no constant reception of
packets at all.
I'm testing all this while sitting a couple of meters beside the
AP.
I skimmed the CVS commit log from end of December to know and did
not spot any changes that would make me suspicious in the first
place.
The first obvious thing to do was switching on debug mode for
the driver, but as soon as I do a "ifconfig athn0 up", my serial
console gets flooded with
...
athn0: received beacon from 00:02:6f:21:ef:xx rssi 52 mode 11g
athn0: received beacon from 00:02:6f:21:ef:xx rssi 48 mode 11g
...
messages in an endless loop, forcing me to reboot my host box.
My suspicions go towards incorrectly autoconfigured RX/TX power
levels. I tried to grasp ar5416_set_txpower(), and if I don't
err, I should see a difference in autoset power if I connect the
rubberduck antennas after the interface has been set up. This is
however not the case, at least I see no difference in behaviour.
As of now, I'm really stuck. Has anybody experienced something
similar and is able to give a hint or another?
Thanks in advance,
/Markus
