Hi,
I have a ral(4) working fine in Host AP mode on a 4.6-stable box:
# dmesg | grep ral
ral0 at pci1 dev 6 function 0 "Ralink RT2561" rev 0x00: irq 11, address
00:19:db:96:93:95
ral0: MAC/BBP RT2561C, RF RT2527
If I understand the manpage correctly this chip should support 802.11a.
But when I try to set the mode to 11a it just stays in 802.11g:
# ifconfig ral0 | grep media
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11g hostap
# ifconfig ral0 mode 11a
# ifconfig ral0 | grep media
media: IEEE802.11 autoselect mode 11g hostap
Some questions on this:
1. Any hints on how to enable 11a? I guess I do something wrong here?
2. Since I only get ~1-2MByte/s in a very short range I bought a "bigger"
antenna and
tried to increase the txpower, but it looks like the "default" value of
100dbm is
already the maximum possible value - is that correct?
3. Is 802.11e implemented and enabled with this device?
4. Is it possible to do WDS with this devive (together with another WDS
supporting
device, like Airport)? I only found references which suggest that WDS is
not
available with OpenBSD at all - is that true? If not true how can I use WDS
on
OpenBSD?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
