Thank you very much for your hard work, Oliver. :). Great, sounds good ;)! It's about the figures I see here. Part of it is probably also due to the rate auto-fallback that came in some commits ago. For the logs, it also because the logging got a bit tuned itself, but the auto-fallback also reduced it already before. What do you actually see on the STA side as signal level? My ath5k here measures 'Signal level=-75 dBm', with approx. 5m and a wall in between. I don't think it's a super strong signal yet, so probably the overall link quality could still increase, if the tx-level could be raised. > Just so you know, I used OpenWRT rc, which is the latest from the > Backfire branch.
