Hi, I am trying to run XR and TURBO mode on Ubiquiti XR2 radio using madwifi trunk. my interfaces are configured in adhoc mode. I see some of the XR code in trunk is currently commented out. e.g. /* 21 was HAL_CAP_XR */ Is this code no longer needed after open HAL or is it that currently trunk does not have this capability. Any pointers to get this functionality is highly appreciated. Thanks, Jaideep |

I was never able to get XR mode working, it could be possible but there are a lot of changes required. Sam Leffler has stated that the HAL only supported XR for STA mode. Even turbo mode for 2.4GHz in trunk does not really enable 40MHz channel 6 without modifications, in my experience. I think for 5GHz static turbo channels it is OK though.

Thanks Brett for the response. Do you mean porting of the code from somewhere for changes or new code ? In enabling 5Ghz static turbo channel did you just follow the instructions on http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/TurboMode.

Probably a combination of both. I do not know of any open source code with full XR support, but it is interesting to see that there are differences in, say, openwrt madwifi where it looks like some more thought has been given to XR (particularly in hal source). Yes, for 5GHz turbo I just followed the wiki. ________________________________ From: LAMBA Jaideep [mailto:Jai...@al...] Sent: Friday, 24 July 2009 10:06 AM To: mad...@li...
