Hello,
I wanted to get some info on how people are implementing OLSR with
Atheros chipsets and adhoc. I have been messing around with settings and
drivers. So far I have seen some improvement with madwifi-hal-testing.
http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/news/20080829/new-hal-release-for-atheros-hardware
Some settings I've seen so far:
iwpriv ath0 mode 3 #force 802.11g mode
iwpriv ath0 bgscan 0 #turn off background scanning
iwconfig ath0 ap 02:ca:ff:ee:ba:be #force bssid to prevent network
splits
disable diversity (especially if you only have one connected antenna)
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.diversity=0
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.txantenna=1
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.rxantenna=1
or this, depending on your card
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.diversity=0
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.txantenna=2
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.rxantenna=2
Any other drivers, patches or settings?
Sean
