We were not differentiating quality between legacy and HT configurations. We change this to consider the differences. New theory for reporting quality: At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 7 reliably. At a hardware RSSI of 45 you will be able to use MCS 15 reliably. At a hardware RSSI of 35 you should be able use 54 Mbps reliably. MCS 7 is the highets MCS index usable by a 1-stream device. MCS 15 is the highest MCS index usable by a 2-stream device. All ath9k devices are either 1-stream or 2-stream. How many bars you see is derived from the qual reporting. A more elaborate scheme can be used here but it requires tables of SNR/throughput for each possible mode used. For the MCS table you can refer to the wireless wiki: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Documentation/ieee80211/802.11n This should fix this bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13537 Cc: Janath.Peiris@atheros.com Cc: Matt.Smith@atheros.com Signed-off-by: Luis R.
