AP mode freeze fix #19

Closed MatteoPaier closed 3 years ago

MatteoPaier commented 3 years ago

This seems to solve the random freezes of the entire system in AP mode.

This fix allows for a much better stability of the system, at least for me (it has been running for a couple of days now without a kernel freeze, when previously the computer stopped working after a couple hours and some client connections/disconnections).

This is inspired by this issue for the similar RTL8812AU driver.

I've tested it with an Alfa AWUS1900. Please feel free to try it with some other adapters, as I do not have any more with this chipset laying around.

You may have unleashed the beast.

A two minute test with iperf3:

[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr [ 5] 0.00-120.00 sec 7.59 GBytes 543 Mbits/sec 0 sender [ 5] 0.00-120.01 sec 7.59 GBytes 543 Mbits/sec receiver

I've never been able to do that before. Never. I had been looking at other things.

I will continue to test and put the work out for testers. So far this looks good.

The results with iperf3 seem very promising indeed. Let's hope for the better. I'm also searching for some more testers with similar hardware, just to increase the sample size.

Keep me updated.
