Hello,
I am using wpa_supplicant 0.7.1, ubuntu 10.04, Atheros AR9280.
When I connect to an 802.11n *20mhz* (channel 36) SSID and do
"iwconfig" I get the following output:
wlan2 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"WIFI"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: 00:26:CB:90:7B:B0
Bit Rate=156 Mb/s Tx-Power=30 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=49/70 Signal level=-61 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
When I connect to an 802.11n *40mhz* (Channel 36+40) network and do
"iwconfig" I get the following output:
wlan2 IEEE 802.11abgn ESSID:"WIFI"
Mode:Managed Frequency:5.18 GHz Access Point: 00:26:CB:90:7B:B0
Bit Rate=0 kb/s Tx-Power=30 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:on
Link Quality=46/70 Signal level=-64 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
...The Bit Rate is always "0 kb/s". How can I get iwconfig (or
perhaps another linux CLI tool) to display the correct Bit Rate when
using 40Mhz wide channels?
Thanks,
Curtis
