[B.A.T.M.A.N.] [ath10k] [batman-adv] Robustness of batman-adv or IBSS/802.11s on ath9k (AR9331 chip)
Hi ath10k community,
Does anyone use ath9k driver + 802.11s (or IBSS/adhoc) on commercial products?
Our setup is AR9331 + ath9k driver + OpenWRT 15.05 + batman-adv 2016.1 (PKG_RELEASE:=3)
We are very serious about robustness of running batman-adv on AR9331, because we have 20+ commercial sites running, each site is with about 20 nodes. - batman-adv + ar9331 work almost (well almost) perfectly. - Sometimes, one node drops off the mesh, occurrence rate is very low. - For one time, when Node drops off the mesh, "rmmod ath9k" then "modprobe ath9k" can get both batman-adv (and ibss/adhoc on top of ath9k) recover. This seemingly points to that the issue is with ath9k driver (ibss/adhoc mode).
As this email is mainly addressed to ath10k community (rather than batman-adv or openwrt), does anyone commercially use 802.11s (or ibss/adhoc)+ ath9k/ath10k? Does 802.11s (or ibss/adhoc) + ath9k/ath10k work perfectly?
Thanks. Xuebing Wang

I'm running batman-adv on LEDE-project (r1497) on a TP-Link TP-WDR3600 with ibss/adhoc + ap on the 2.4GHz radio. This is ath9k, not ath10k. Seems to work fine, no problems.

Hi Russel,
Thanks. By "work fine", do you mean that you have 20+ nodes running for at least a month without any issues?
