Hi all, I would like to know how to select the rate control algorithm for MadWifi. If I run "iwconfig ath0 rate auto", what rate control algorithm will be used (sample, minstrel, or onoe) ? Is there a way for me to select these algorithms? Thanks! Ron |

Is there a way for me to > select these algorithms? The rate control algorithm is selected when the module is loaded. Run "modinfo ath_pci" to see the available algorithms. For instance, to use the minstrel algorithm run modprobe ath_pci ratectl=minstrel Of course, that would work only if ath_pci is not already loaded. It's also possible to specify module options in one of the files in /etc/modprobe.d/ by adding this line: options ath_pci ratectl=minstrel If you are using an embedded system with the AHB interface, replace ath_pci with ath_ahb. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin |
