[Voyage-linux] XR3-3.65 Ubiquiti radios with Voyage

[Edwin Whitelaw]

Before I post all the nitty-gritty of my problems with these cards, has 
anyone on the list tried/used them with Voyage?

In short, I've got two of these cards in ALIX3D boards, Voyage v0.5.2.  
Country code set to Germany (276) to display the proper 5.5-5.7GHz 
channels that the XR3 uses to map to the 3.5-3.7GHz actually 
transmitted.  The boards are on the bench with the pigtails ~1" apart.  
Initially, I was able to associate but only the first 4 channels would 
associate.  Then only the first channel (100) would work and now none 
will associate.  Scanning form the client side shows very weak signal on 
any channel selected on the AP unit.  Initially, I was getting in the 
-40-50db range but now up in the -80s and obviously no connection.

At this point I suspect a hardware problem with these radios as there 
are no error messages of any kind.  I have replaced the XR3s  with an 
XR5 in one unit and a Wistron CM11 in the other and can associate on all 
channels with consistent iperf tests ~30+mbs.

I will be calling Ubiquiti today but would be interested in others' 
experience in any case.

Regards,

Edwin
