Anything else I can do to help move this along? I'd love to dive into
the code, I just need a little guidance! I've written and debugged a
few Linux drivers in my day...
Any other testing you need, I'd be happy to assist.
Thanks,
Chris

Or if you don't want to compile your kernel and just compile the
modules externally you can grab the compat-wireless-package that pulls
daily from wireless-testing:

I see, the point is that wireless-testing already contains latest
iwlwifi driver much newer then 1.2.25. so no need for patching just
compile the kernel.

I'm not so familiar with the Linksys-B AP. Is it B-only AP?
I suspect there is a problem in rate scaling and we are going beyond
the CCK rates which B-only AP cannot hear.
but this is only shutting to darkness, need to reproduce.
I'm not sure if you have a sniffer but capture of traffic would be very useful.

Can you put exact version of the AP to your bug description, including
software/firmware version.
Thanks

Not sure if I understand the terminology correctly (wireless-testing
kernel?) but I just tried the top-of-tree from git repo (iwlwifi) and
the results are the same. Stuck at very low speed, and no apparent
activity on the rs_window /sys file.

We've recently committed fixes to 4965 rate scaling can you try the
latest version of wireless-testing kernel?
Thanks

OK, sorry for the confusion, iwl4965 was not enabled by default, and I
assumed it was not there.
I've completed the test, wireless-testing kernel from two days ago
does not resolve the slow wireless connection. I will update the bug
report with this data.

It's an old Wireless-B unit, so I can only guess it's 'B' only. It is
a Linksys WAP11 Ver. 2.0
Firmware: v2.05, Aug. 04, 2003. Unfortunately, the hotels and coffee
shops around the country are filled with these units, and I travel for
a living, so I'm holding out hopes for a solution, and stand ready to
help in any way I can.
Again, I will update the bug report with this data.

Chris

I was unable to get either 1.2.25 nor top-of-tree from git (iwlwifi)
to compile with wireless-testing kernel.
As another data point, it appears the iwl4965 operates at full speed
using a more up-to-date Wireless Access Point such as the
Cisco/Linksys WAP4400N.
Given that input, is there somewhere else we could look? I will
update the bug record with these findings.

If you are able to get running wireless-testing can you just dump
debugfs rate_scale_table file. Since it's run time data it has to be
done while preforming the test.
The file is usually located under
/sys/kernel/debug/ieee80211/phy0/stations/<AP mac
address>/rate_scale_table

I can confirm that. Building wireless drivers modules and subsystem
was never so easy and time-efficient.
Maybe this is useless, but if you want to avoid bulding all modules
and subsystems you just need to edit config.mk.
Great project!
