Although I do not remember anything in the latest driver revisions that would
affect rtl8192se, thus compat-wireless should not be necessary.
The unit I reported in my previous message was a 1x1 model. Tonight, I tested a
2x2, which lspci reports as 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek
Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8192SE Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8174] (rev 10).
The netperf test results are:

Next, I will test my other card, which is a 1x2 model with kernel 3.0.4. I have
also Cc'd Chaoming Li at Realsil, the group that actually wrote the driver.
Perhaps their lab has the same AP as yours.

It turns out the performance is quite a bit higher with 3.1-rc4 (actually 3.2
wireless) than it is with 3.0.4.
If possible, could you please try the latest compat-wireless, either as a
package or as downloaded source? In the meantine, I will bisect between the
current wireless-testing and 3.0, and test the 3.1-rc4 aminline kernel.

Stefan,
I did finish the complete set of tests with my RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN
Controller [10ec:8172] (rev 10). The results for the tests are as follows:
TCP_MAERTS:
kernel 3.0.4:
Results: TX: max 38.61, min 14.04. Mean 33.45(6.95)
RX: max 47.55, min 30.52. Mean 37.31(5.36)
3.1-rc4 - Mainline:
Results: TX: max 57.70, min 42.90. Mean 52.79(3.92)
RX: max 68.77, min 47.29. Mean 60.38(5.28)
3.1-rc4 - wireless-testing:
Results: TX: max 112.86, min 23.34. Mean 51.70(21.86)
RX: max 75.84, min 35.60. Mean 59.03(9.76)
TCP_STREAM:
Kernel 3.0.4:
Results: TX: max 43.94, min 15.74. Mean 32.29(6.93)
RX: max 36.01, min 30.75. Mean 34.29(1.75)
Kernel 3.1-rc4 from mainline:
Results: TX: max 59.73, min 23.48. Mean 47.59(12.33)
RX: max 49.89, min 25.14. Mean 38.26(7.32)
Kernel 3.1-rc4 from wireless-testing:
Results: TX: max 62.39, min 57.27. Mean 60.69(1.62)
RX: max 53.00, min 23.95. Mean 43.17(8.56)
TCP_SENDFILE:
Kernel 3.0.4:
Results: TX: max 30.06, min 20.21. Mean 28.36(2.87)
RX: max 38.28, min 29.56. Mean 34.36(2.79)
Kernel 3.1-rc4 from mainline:
Results: TX: max 70.25, min 2.64. Mean 42.59(18.30)
RX: max 44.85, min 33.12. Mean 40.83(4.04)
Kernel 3.1-rc4 from wireless-testing:
Results: TX: max 62.51, min 51.26. Mean 56.94(3.35)
RX: max 45.35, min 28.40. Mean 37.56(5.16)
It seems that kernel 3.1-rc4 from mainline is quite a bit faster than 3.0.4, but
I don't know why. The 3.1-rc4 driver from wireless-testing may be a bit quicker,
but the difference is not that great.
My next step will be to bisect the mainline tree to see if I can find a commit
that has a big effect. Please open a bug at bugzilla.kernel.org on this issue,
if you have not already done so, and send me the bug number.

Before you continue down this path, I have to ask you something: do you
think the rate of my connection would increase if I stress it enough? By
this I mean: initially, it appears I have a (theoretical maximum)
bitrate of 54Mbps upon connecting to my AP; will the bitrate increase
when running something like netperf for long enough? If not, I'm not
sure you understood my problem. I don't mind the bitrate so much if it
weren't for the fact that I should be associating with my AP over an
802.11n link (since both my NIC and AP should be capable of this), which
I cannot. The AP itself (which can display a list of its wireless
clients including MAC addresses and link type) reports that I'm
connected over an 802.11g link.
I'd hate for you to put more time into this if we have indeed
misunderstood one another.
Anyway, I'm more than willing to try out the 3.1-rc4 mainline kernel if
that would be of any help. However, it will have to wait until tomorrow,
since it's pretty much the end of the night in my timezone, and I have a
busy day tomorrow. I'll also file a bug report tomorrow, if I haven't
heard back from you regarding our possible misunderstanding.

It is not a matter of "training". If the AP says it is a G connection, then the
rate will never be more than 54 Mbps.

I think it may be an incompatibility with that AP, but I will wait for Chaoming
to check that.
In any case, I would like to know what change increases the rate, thus I'll do
the bisection.

I do mind you contacting me directly, but only because you did not Cc the
linux-wireless ML. I only do private trouble-shooting when I have a contract.
For that reason, I have added that ML in the reply, and quoted your complete
message.
I am running a vanilla kernel from the wireless-testing git tree. It reports as
3.1-rc4. You did not say what kernel you are using, but you would get the same
wireless code from any kernel and the latest version of compat-wireless.
The second piece of info that you missed is which RTL8192SE you have - I have 3
varieties. I am reporting the results for the RTL8191SEvA [10ec:8171]. My tests
use netperf to measure the TX speed against a server in my network, which has a
wired connection to my AP. The AP (Netgear WND3300) is configured with the "Up
to 270 Mbps at 2.4 GHz" setting, i.e. 802.11n-only. For RX tests, that server is
used as the source and the test box is the server. The results are as follows:
TCP_MAERTS TX Test: 47.33 53.94 55.19 44.24 57.74 55.44 53.74 54.63 47.87 57.82
TCP_MAERTS RX Test: 66.02 69.79 67.70 52.15 82.56 80.30 79.43 80.98 76.26 71.34
Results: TX: max 57.82, min 44.24. Mean 52.79(4.42)
RX: max 82.56, min 52.15. Mean 72.65(8.85)
TCP_STREAM TX Test: 71.83 80.44 72.88 26.11 40.85 58.70 58.49 58.96 59.52 59.35
TCP_STREAM RX Test: 46.41 52.64 43.85 48.44 52.15 49.66 52.81 50.61 43.18 52.93
Results: TX: max 80.44, min 26.11. Mean 58.71(14.93)
RX: max 52.93, min 43.18. Mean 49.27(3.51)
TCP_SENDFILE TX Test: 57.86 55.94 55.21 56.13 56.70 61.71 56.85 54.68 55.04 51.30
TCP_SENDFILE RX Test: 37.82 47.51 41.61 42.88 45.37 35.11 45.09 40.11 46.48 22.86
Results: TX: max 61.71, min 51.30. Mean 56.14(2.50)
RX: max 47.51, min 22.86. Mean 40.48(6.96)
The numbers in () are the standard deviations, which are larger than they should
be. You can clearly see that the rates exceed those of an 802.11g link, which
would max out at ~27 Mbps. This is confirmed by the iwconfig listing.
finger@larrylap:~> iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 IEEE 802.11bgn ESSID:"lwfdjf-n"

Power Management:off
Link Quality=70/70 Signal level=-35 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0

In short, I do not duplicate your results.
