Hello Stefan,
First of all many thanks for your work around qwx.
Here after some observations on my T14s regarding qwx.
My OpnBSD current setup is not my daily machine, but sounds that this
driver is quite stable ;).
My main message is that when running Apline Linux (in dual boot), I've got
different values performance values:
- Linux: 109Mbps download and 12Mbps upload (via testmy.net)
- Openbsd: 20Mbps download, 1.9Mbps upload (via testmy.net)
Laptop is the same, Wifi AP is the same, 2 tests performed with less than 5
minutes delta (so provider context more or less the same).
I share some some elements of the Alpine Linux setup. Maybe version of the
driver is the cause.
Regards
