#18964 new bug

poor network data transfer between Haiku hosts

Reported by: donn Owned by: waddlesplash
Priority: normal Milestone: Unscheduled
Component: Drivers/Network/idualwifi7260 Version: R1/beta4

Platform: All

Description

I have two Haiku computers here. To exchange data, I have to chain data transfers via ssh to an intermediate (MacOS) computer, piping the data through an ssh on the intermediate host to the destination, because they can't transfer data directly to or from each other.

syslog: KERN: idualwifi7260: can't map mbuf (error -2147483643)

That's the wifi device on both computers, /dev/net/idualwifi7260/0. They're both Lenovo Thinkpads.

ssh works on small transfers, like if I run "id", but stalls on anything even moderately large, like 2K, with 0 result; ssh processes on both ends hang. I don't know what the limit is, or if there really is one. Transfer works to/from other hosts. I'm not absolutely sure the above error actually occurs as a guaranteed immediate result of the failure.

running hrev 57707, from source with usb kbd patches.

hrev57707 is rather old. Anyway this problem was fixed temporarily in hrev57909, but this ticket should stay open because the underlying problem is still an issue with this driver. I saw it myself while trying to test UDP.

(Seems like yesterday ...) I confirm that the issue is gone for me in hrev57909.
