* [ath9k-devel] ath9k_htc Stops Responding After Period of Time (at91rm9200 processor) @ 2014-04-12 20:18 Aaron Hamilton 2014-04-13 3:25 ` Gui Iribarren 2014-04-14 20:21 ` Aaron Hamilton 0 siblings, 2 replies; 10+ messages in thread From: Aaron Hamilton @ 2014-04-12 20:18 UTC (permalink / raw) To: ath9k-devel I'm using an ath9k_htc (ZCN-722M/0cf3:9271) as an AP and after several hours of use, client devices can no longer attach. When everything stops working, there's no indication whatsoever in the log. If I restart hostapd, everything seems to work fine for a while, but then stops working again. I'm currently using backports-3.12.8-1 with a 2.6.39.4 kernel and a simple hostapd config (see attached config files). Am I missing something or should I be using a different version of something? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There's been talk about dumbing down the firmware in the NIC so it doesn't do much more than be a data conduit and handle basic retries, so this limit wouldn't be hit. but it'd be a reasonably thorough rearchitecture of the driver and firmware. -a On 13 April 2014 12:55, Kyle Bassett <kylebassett@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Gui, > > Can you elaborate on the 8 clients limit? > > > > On Saturday, April 12, 2014, Gui Iribarren <gui@altermundi.net> wrote: >> >> On 04/12/2014 05:18 PM, Aaron Hamilton wrote: >> > I'm using an ath9k_htc (ZCN-722M/0cf3:9271) as an AP and after several >> > hours of use, client devices can no longer attach.
