Ubuntu Networking :: D-link DWA-552 Master Mode On 10.04 - File Transfers Or Bandwidth Consuming Processes
May 20, 2010
after successfully configuring the dwa-552 to work in master mode in ubuntu 10.04 (ath9k driver) I ran some file transfer tests. The download speed is very good (~50mbps) but the upload speed spikes at about 10-20mbps for the first few KB and then it's nonexistent (0-1kbps). This only affects file transfers or otherwise bandwidth consuming processes. Normal web browsing or ssh is not affected. After running a speedtest of my internet connection which is routed through the AP I could upload to the internet with 1mbps which is my inet connection maximum so apparently this is not affected. Tried the same file transfers with netcat to eliminate any other factors and had the same problem. dmesg and hostapd debug did not report anything unusual

I got two issues with my wifi usb adapter:
1) it cannot see any networks around
2) i cannot setup it in master mode to use my PC as a router
As far as i can see, the device is recognized and the correct driver (rt73usb) is loaded. I was able to connect to a laptop somehow (the laptop could see other networks and the adapter's PC-to-PC network). I'd like to make it work as a router, i.e. share my internet connection (eth0) via wlan0. Here is what i have:
Code:
Ubuntu 10.04

I'm looking at buying one of the above cards, and was wondering if anyone knew if they worked in master mode (e.g. as an access point). According to the Aircrack-ng site, they support packet injection and monitor mode. Is master mode support solely up to the driver used with the card, or does the card have to physically support it?

root@Atlantis:~# iwconfig wlan0 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
root@Atlantis:~# iwconfig wlan1 mode master
Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06) :

All other modes except secondary work fine.
The wireless cards are both PCI, a Netgear WG311v1 and a Linksys WMP54Gv4.1, though I'm not sure which is which.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and try to get my wifi to work in master mode. The dongle is a Asus 167g v3 and I'm using the rtl8192SU driver. I can connect to a network or put the dongle in Ad-hoc mode without a problem. It's when I try to put in master mode some problem occurs. When I do:
Code:
sudo iwconfig wlan1 essid test mode master
This is the output I'm getting:
Code:
wlan1 unassociated Nickname:"rtl_wifi"
Mode:Master Access Point: Not-Associated Sensitivity:0/0
[Code].....
The dongle is in master mode but it fails to assign a SSID. I also tried to set it up in /etc/network/interfaces but the result is always the same... No SSID

I am trying to get my wireless card working in master mode. I am running Jaunty server 2.6.28-11 x86_64. I have compiled hostapd with nl80211 enabled. The interface is using ath9k. I have tried to compile compat-wireless with this patch. However IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_AP was undefined along with IEEE80211_IF_TYPE_VLAN. In addition the latest version of compat-wireless needs to be patched for kernels < 2.6.31 with this. However when using this patch IRQ_WAKE_THREAD is still undefined.
I have got to this message:
Code:
$ sudo hostapd /home/jophish/.hostapd.conf
Configuration file: /home/jophish/.hostapd.conf
Failed to set interface wlan0 to master mode.

I've searched for too many days and nights so many information went through my head. I want to buy a usb wireless which support master mode. (not monitor mode) Now I'm interested in Alfa AWUS036NEH. I like it because it is small an have a long antenna strong 1000mW. signal. (AWUS036H is a little bit big for me) However from what i have read AWUS036NEH is not supported in master mode (softAP)(or may be supported but with hostapd, but again some forum said it doesn't support and some say it does... Totally confused.) -> Actually AWUS036NEH is not expensive but I don't want to invest in something i'm not sure about so I won't buy it until I really know if it works. So I switch to find out what is for sure
1. supported in master mode in Ubuntu
2. Have a long antenna (like 5" or something. I have no idea about hardware but I think longer antenna should send signal more further)
3. small (about normal USB size don't count antenna)
Sadly I only find Alfa AWUS036NEH the only option for me , the others has no brand. However TL-WN722N is what most likely to fit. Only it has a shorter antenna. Can i replace the antenna with a longer one (with some others brand) by myself? (TL-WN722N can use master mode in kernel 3.0 ? already ? some say it should but i've not seen one that stated clearly) Ahh I think the above is totally messed up. I will make long story short.
1. Is AWUS036H or AWUS036NEH support master mode in ubuntu ? (if yes with hostapd or something?)
2. Is TL-WN722N or TL-WN722NC can work in master mode in Ubuntu ? (if yes with hostapd or something?)
3.Can I replace the original antenna with a longer one ?(with other brand or same brand) Will the signal be stronger?

I am running Samba on a debian Lenny box on a wireless home network. I find that file transfers to the samba share are very slow. It takes over a minute to copy a 40MB file to the linux box, but only 20 seconds to copy the same file to a windows XP box on the same network.
Anyways, I could use a little direction on how to proceed with this, I'm really not sure where to start,

I tried using ssh between my netbook and desktop, but it was going to take around 30 hours to transfer 39GB over the home network. Also SSH is very sketchy and often drops connections.I've been messing with it all day and I'm quite frustrated.What I'm looking to do is use my netbook as more of a primary computer and the desktop as a storage computer. Not quite a server, because I'd like to still keep a GUI on it. I'd like to be able to keep my music and movies on the desktop and stream them to the netbook (SSH sucks for this, always drops connections). I've already set up the web client for Transmission bit torrent client so I can torrent on a machine that's almost always on and connected.
Is there a better setup for all of this? I like the netbook because of the portability; I like the desktop because it's always connected (for torrents) and it has a larger storage capacity. It would be mainly used around the house. I would like to back up a file or two while abroad, but I'm not looking to stream music while I'm across town or anything.

I create a link to a file in order to open the file from the desktop. When I move the link from the file location to the desktop, the file is opended in read-only mode. How can I change this so that the file opens in regular mode so that I am able to edit contents? The file in question is an open office spreadsheet.

I need to transfer 330G of data from a hard drive in my workstation to my NAS device. The entire network is gigabit and being run with new HP procurve switches. All machines have static IP addresses. The NAS is a Buffalo Terastation PRO which has the latest firmware, is set to jumbo frames, and has just been upgraded with 4 brand new 500G drives giving us a 1.4TB raid 5 setup. My workstation is a dual Quad core xeon box running on an Intel S5000XVN board with 8G of ram. My OS is Ubuntu 10.04 x64 running on a pair of Intel X25 SSDs in a raid mirror. The data drive is a 500G SATA drive connected to my onboard controller. The file system on the SATA drive is XFS. This problem was ongoing before I got my new workstation, before we had the GB switches, and before the NAS got new drives. When I transfer a small file or folder (less than 500M) it reaches speeds of 10-11 MB/sec. When I transfer a file or folder larger than that the speed slows to a crawl (less than 2MB/sec). It has always been this way with this NAS. Changing to jumbo frames speeds up the small transfers but makes little difference in the big ones. I verified with HP that the switches are jumbo frame capable.

I just installed ubuntu as my primary OS, but I have the disk with XP on it and I don't want to go back, but I need faster network connectivity. I have a T60p with Intel Gigabit jacked into my Gigabit router which also has my desktop (running XP) and my NAS. If I FTP files from my NAS (or SCP), I get transfer speeds around 250-500 KB/s (which is not very fast). On this same switch, from my XP desktop I get transfer speeds around 12 MB/s. I get the same speeds using my 802.11n card (Atheros) as with the ethernet NIC (250-500 KB/s).The drivers for the ethernet card and the atheros card are e1000e and ath9k respectively.I have disabled IPv6. Since the problem occurs using either interface, I am just going to concentrate on fixing it for the Ethernet interface (since I believe it to be a systemwide problem).
Code:
skinnersbane@albert:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full
[code]....
Clearly my card is running at Gigabit, but why the bad transfer speeds? I am using filezilla for FTP (technically FTPES). I closed every other program. My CPU utilization does seem high and I wonder if this is part of the problem. I had no problems with throughput using either interface in Windows XP just one week ago.

I created a the class like this for shaping the packets with a specified bandwidth rate.....
tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 15
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:0 classid 1:1 htb rate 750kbit ceil 750kbit
tc class add dev eth0 parent 1:1 classid 1:3 htb rate 600kbit ceil 750kbit prio 0
For Our Requirement:-
I dont want to specify the bandwidth rate strictly like this rate750kbit ceil 750kbit,based on whatever speed is coming which should allocate the bandwidth rate for particular class...I need one application for finding the upcoming bandwidth & Is any other method is there for specify the bandwidth rate in a classes.

Has anyone else noticed that file transfers on Maverick are significantly slower than on Lucid? A review of Maverick on Tom's Hardware finds that it is considerably slower. My own test says: On 10.10, file copy between two NTFS drives maxes at 30 MBytes/s; on 10.04.1, the same operations clock in at 40 MBytes/s. Both drives are capable of rw speeds of 70-90 MBytes/s, which I got on WinXP, and hdparm's cached read results back that up.
why file transfers are so slow, and especially why Maverick is even slower than Lucid?

I recently built a home media server and decided on Ubuntu 10.04. Everything is running well except when I try to transfer my media collection from other PCs where it's backed up to the new machine. Here's my build and various situations:
Intel D945GSEJT w/ Atom N270 CPU
2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM (this board uses laptop chipset)
External 60W AC adapter in lieu of internal PSU
133x CompactFlash -> IDE adapter for OS installation
2(x) Samsung EcoGreen 5400rpm 1.5TB HDDs formatted for Ext4
Situation 1: Transferring 200+GB of files from an old P4-based system over gigabit LAN. Files transferred at 20MBps (megabytes, so there's no confusion). Took all night but the files got there with no problem. I thought the speed was a little slow, but didn't know what to expect from this new, low-power machine.
Situation 2: Transferring ~500GB of videos from a modern gaming rig (i7, 6GB of RAM, running Windows7, etc etc). These files transfer at 70MBps. I was quite impressed with the speed, but after about 30-45 minutes I came back to find that Ubuntu had hung completely.
I try again. Same thing. Ubuntu hangs after a few minutes of transferring at this speed. It seems completely random. I've taken to transferring a few folders at a time (10GB or so) and so far it has hung once and been fine the other three times.Now, I have my network MTU set from automatic to 9000. Could this cause Ubuntu to hang like this? When I say hang I mean it freezes completely requiring a reboot. The cursor stops blinking in a text field, the mouse is no longer responsive, etc.

A little over a year ago I was using SCP to successfully transfer large files over my LAN (exact same hardware). I can't seem to do this any more, and I'm not sure why.I think it's either something with iptables, or a network card driver problem. I use the same driver for both computers (b43 wireless). I can't do FTP transfers either. They start going, but quickly stall. I've used the Firestarter (iptables gui) to allow all the correct connections.One last thing: When I tried to connect to ssh using an alfa wireless card (not sure of the drivers), I couldn't even connect to ssh period. Same settings were used.
