A huge problem with my hostap bridge.

[Radosław Michoń]

I have realy strange problem with my D-link DWL 520's. When they are working
in ad-hoc mode everything seems to be fine (ping average is about 2.5 ms and
ftp file transfer 650 Kb/s). But when I try to run them on hostap drivers in
wds mode with two bridges on each side transfer is about 180 Kb/s with a 4
ms ping average. What is going wrong ? Is it normal ?

--- Host A - configuration :

modprobe hostap_pci
iwpriv wlan0 wds_add 00:05:5D:EE:63:A1
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 wlan0wds0
brctl stp br0 off
brctl setfd br0 0
brctl sethello br0 5
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
ifconfig wlan0wds0 0.0.0.0 promisc
ifconfig br0 192.168.174.71 up promisc

--- Host B - configuration:

modprobe hostap_pci
iwpriv wlan0 wds_add 00:05:5D:EE:EF:A0
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 wlan0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 wlan0wds0
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc
ifconfig wlan0 0.0.0.0 promisc
ifconfig wlan0wds0 0.0.0.0 promisc
ifconfig br0 192.168.174.100 up promisc
brctl stp br0 off


Any advice ?
