wireless_tools version 30.pre9-1
"iwconfig" and "iwlist rate" are reporting an erroneous and never changing bit rate, while "iw wlp6s0 station dump" does show the correct and adaptive bit rate. The previous version of wireless_tools seems to have been working properly, though I never actually had reason to cross-check it against iw. This is with an "Atheros AR5416 MAC/BB Rev:2 AR2133 RF Rev:81" chip-set on a pccard, using the ath9k driver. The bit rate reported, by iwconfig and iwlist, does seem to change when the card is removed and re-inserted, but then only whatever initial rate is found is ever reported thereafter. |
This task depends upon
Still, it may be that wireless_tools will have to adapt?
