VHT Not working properly need assistance.

FredVeldini commented 5 years ago

Im trying to get VHT on Authsae (Latest Version Downloaded 12-7-18) with no luck, maybe someone could assist. I have 2 Atheros QCA988x 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapters, one in each computer. I'm running Kernel 4.19.0-wt from wireless-testing. I have the latest ath10k firmware from Kvalo git

Radios show up properly startup is same as before iw dev mesh0 set freq 5180 80 5210 then start mesh

authsae.conf is pretty straight forward.

authsae: { sae: { debug = 480; password = "SuperSecretPassw0rd"; group = [19, 26, 21, 25, 20]; blacklist = 5; thresh = 5; lifetime = 3600; }; meshd: { meshid = "MESH0LVL"; interface = "mesh0"; band = "11a"; channel = 36; htmode = "VHT80"; mcast-rate = 12; }; };

Radio shows 80MHz is working properly - iw dev mesh0 info Interface mesh0 ifindex 12 wdev 0x2 addr 00:30:1a:4e:3d:af type mesh point wiphy 0 channel 36 (5180 MHz), width: 80 MHz, center1: 5210 MHz txpower 10.00 dBm multicast TXQ: qsz-byt qsz-pkt flows drops marks overlmt hashcol tx-bytes tx-packets 124 1 144239 0 0 0 0 19450068 284665

But as you see below the iw dev mesh0 station dump shows HT40 Station 00:30:1a:4e:2a:01 (on mesh0) inactive time: 181 ms rx bytes: 410098580 rx packets: 538216 tx bytes: 397003042 tx packets: 345115 tx retries: 0 tx failed: 4 rx drop misc: 131712 signal: -52 [-63, -63, -57] dBm signal avg: -53 [-62, -62, -56] dBm Toffset: 18446744073680841152 us tx bitrate: 243.0 MBit/s MCS 20 40MHz rx bitrate: 360.0 MBit/s MCS 21 40MHz short GI rx duration: 0 us mesh llid: 0 mesh plid: 0 mesh plink: ESTAB mesh local PS mode: ACTIVE mesh peer PS mode: ACTIVE mesh non-peer PS mode: ACTIVE authorized: yes authenticated: yes associated: yes preamble: long WMM/WME: yes MFP: yes TDLS peer: no DTIM period: 2 beacon interval:1000 connected time: 30486 seconds

Throughput with iperf3 is an average of 275 Mbps Any help on getting VHT working would be appreciated.

htmode = "VHT80";

Check tests/test008.sh for how to configure it. Namely, you'll need to specify it like this:

channel_width = "80";
freq  = 5180;
center_freq1 = 5210;

"htmode" is not specific enough to configure the proper center channel for all modes. Also make sure you have the very latest authsae.

Thanks Bob, I noticed in the include.sh file the htmode="none" is that correct. I have the latest authsae.

test008 removes the htmode line entirely, you should also leave it out.

Thank you Bob, Works great now. (removed htmode for VHT - and added the channel information did the job) tx bitrate: 975.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 7 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 3 rx bitrate: 975.0 MBit/s VHT-MCS 5 80MHz short GI VHT-NSS 3 Throughput averaging around 450Mbits/sec Thank you again. Fred
