[Madwifi-devel] Comparison of old driver(2004-8) and new driver(release-0.9)

[Steven R. <rm...@ne...>]

Hi,

         I am working on the Roaming stuff. I want my wireless card to roam
between AP1 and AP2, both AP1 and AP2 have the same essid, but different
channel number. 

I found that when I used old driver(which is 2004-8 version), the delay of
roaming from AP1 to AP2 is less than 80 millisecond, which is the duration
of Receiving association RESPONESE and the data frame; But when I used new
driver(release-0.9.0), the delay is more than 1 second, the duration is just
between the association RESPONSE and the data frame, which means the
transmission of data frame must wait for one second after the association is
established to AP. 

 

         Does anyone know why it happened? Is it the difference between new
driver and old driver? Thanks a lot!

 

Best wishes,

Steven Ren
