When using the card in 802.11n in access point mode, testing with file copying to or from a Windows system with an 802.11n card (specifically an Atheros 5416-based card in this card) with the other endpoint being accessed over 100 Mbps ethernet, after a short time it started to drop all packets, even after the transfer was stopped. Before the packet loss, the transfer is typically far below 802.11g's fastest rate. Fix: If ampdu is disabled, the packet loss does not occur. After that it can also at least reach, but not exceed, 802.11g rates. How-To-Repeat: Use mwl as 802.11n access point and copy a file over the network without a speed cap set.

batch change: For bugs that match the following - Status Is In progress AND - Untouched since 2018-01-01. AND - Affects Base System OR Documentation DO: Reset to open status. Note: I did a quick pass but if you are getting this email it might be worthwhile to double check to see if this bug ought to be closed.
Is this still a setup you are running and did one and a half decades ago anyone think this mwl or our 11n implementation?
