[Request Test] New rate adaption algorithm for gen1 devices. #764

What should be tested? That it just works without crashes/disconnections or connection speed improvement? |
|
@usr-sse2 For daily use or do some speed benchmarks test, roam, AP compatible, 11n on 2.4GHz/5GHz, 11ac on 20/40/80/160, all test conditions mentioned are welcome. Now I have upload new build files, maybe more stable. |
|
Seems to have issues on wake from sleep intermittently. Disconnecting and reconnecting wifi fixes it. Seems to be more likely to happen if reconnecting to the same wifi network. Works well otherwise. How can I obtain logs? |
|
What improvements this will bring to the table? |
|
Kernel panic sometimes occurs when moving the laptop around and streaming video |
aims to make a more stable connection, so just use it for daily using to see if it have issues. |
|
@Overc1ocker Is it reproducible? And the same panic info? |
|
I'm not sure. I'll post if it happens again. I wanted to drop it in case you were able to find something immediately wrong |
|
@Overc1ocker It would be most likely happened on ROAM routine. If you find a way to reproduce it, please let me know, and you can try this one to see if it is fixed. |
|
One time it gave this panic when waking from sleep on Monterey (it's 2022-4-2 version). It was when moving (in sleep state) from one building to another which has the second part of the same wireless network. |
@usr-sse2 Thank you, can you try this one? and have you also seen this panic on master version? |
|
No, I have seen this panic only today, and it's the first time I've been in the second building. |
|
Been using this for 2 days, it's quite stable on my AC9560. |
|
@zxystd upload the latest kext so I can finally test the new algorithm |

@zxystd Can you pls provide a Ventura version? |

@zxystd - Ré #898 (comment) Many thanks for all your work on this project. This version of the driver does basically fix the issue. Thank you! There is a minor remaining issue (?), or at least difference between OSes, which I think is just about worth reporting, as below. As before, all OSes (Windows, Linux (Fedora, current) and macOS Monterey with this version of itlwm) are achieving exactly the same download speed (maybe 480Mbps on first run of Google speed test, 500Mbps+ on second run). But there remains a (much smaller then before) difference in upload behaviour. macOS seems slightly slower than Linux, and is definitely somewhat slower than Windows, for upload speed. The speed differences I am seeing, though I think real (i.e. repeatable on multiple tests), are small enough that I would not have felt them significant enough to report, if I did not already have an issue open. The behaviour on upload (using Google speed test) for each OS is as follows, each value that I list is shown on screen during the test for maybe 0.1-0.5s; the final value value given is then sustained, with minor variations, to end of test:
i.e. Monterey takes noticeably longer to reach full speed, and does not reach quite as high a full speed. Attached is a log, taken while connecting then running the speed test (with results more or less exactly as given above), with the 2022-4-2 Monterey version of the driver from OP of this thread: |
|
I did some brief testing, and, running on 8260, it's much better. Old kext would vary from super slow to 300Mbps (maximum) during speed tests, and during actual usage it would be too slow to actually be usable. |
|
Already merged, thank you for the testing. 2637e90 |

Wifi works great on Sonoma with AX210, but bluetooth not working :-( how to fix? |

Thank you buddy, yes i tried put all these three kexts you mention into opencore kext folder but not luck... even adding bluetooth strings on boot-args didn't solve the problem... i'm waiting for any fix or porting from ventura kext to sonoma...thanx |
Hi,
I have ported the Linux
iwlwifidriver native rate adaption algorithm which callediwl-mvm-rs. This amins to make a stable and reliable connection for gen1 devices.Now we can enable these features:
Affected devices:
These changes haven't merge into master yet, Please help to test it, any issues happened please attach logs here, thank you.
