RX rate mis-reported?

[Ben Greear]

As previously mentioned in the msdu thread, I was seeing funky rates
at high speed when using my modified firmware and driver.

But, on my AP system, which is using standard firmware and standard
ath10k driver, I also see the rates show up improperly:

[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
6.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
6.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
6.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
234.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
234.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
156.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
234.0 MBit/s
[root at ath10k-2220 lanforge]# cat /debug/ieee80211/wiphy1/netdev\:vap1/stations/04\:f0\:21\:0e\:38\:41/last_rx_rate
6.0 MBit/s

This system was sustaining almost 400Mbps TCP download throughput, so it
seems unlikely to me that the return rate would really be this low?

I'd be interested to know what others see for rates when running higher-speed throughput...

Thanks,
Ben
