ath5k problem with multiple NICs
Hi all,
I have a problem with the athk5 driver and this scheme. Description of scheme and the problem is as follows:
Specifications
Linux Kernel: Linux voyage 3.0.0-voyage
Ath5k modules:
filename: /lib/modules/3.0.0-voyage/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
license: Dual BSD/GPL
description: Support for 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless LAN cards.
Modules ath5k
ath5k, ath, mac80211, cfg80211
NIC models: CM9-GP
Chipset: Atheros AR5213A
Standard: 805.11a/b/g
Scheme:
I use 2 ALIX boards, each of them have two NICs installed. The scheme is as follows:
ALIX_0 ALIX1 ESSID CHANNEL
NIC_1: 192.168.0.1 NIC_1: 192.168.0.2 ESSID1 1
NIC_2: 192.168.10.1 NIC_2: 192.168.10.2 ESSID2 11
Two links linked up using infraestructure, mesh or ad-hoc mode.
I insert traffic between NIC_1(ALIX0) and NIC_1(ALIX1) in ESSID1, and I get a 5Mbps throughput, I did the same test with the link ESSID 2 and results were similar.
The problem is when I try to send data simultaneously using both two links I only get a 5Mbps throughput, this means I only get a single link throughput even when the traffic is sent using both channels.
I did a similar testing with madwifi driver, and I am able to send data simultanously, but I need to use ath5k driver, because bonding implementation is much better for wireless networks.
Could you please help me with this?
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Geovana
