Body
Is there any possible ways to change beacon interval in linux. I have atheros chipset using ath9k driver. I know it is possible to to use iw command to set the beacon interval but still i am confused about the use of the command. Also how do i know the current beacon interval What i want is to make a ad hoc networks between two devices using ubuntu 12.04 and beaconing interval lower than the normal values. This is the output that i get when i run the iw command. <pre><code>iw iwphy2 set beacon-interval 25 Usage: iw [options] command Options: --debug enable netlink debugging --version show version (3.2) Commands: help event [-t] [-r] [-f] phy list phy <phyname> info dev dev <devname> info dev <devname> del dev <devname> interface add <name> type <type> [mesh_id <meshid>] [4addr on|off] [flags <flag>*] phy <phyname> interface add <name> type <type> [mesh_id <meshid>] [4addr on|off] [flags <flag>*] dev <devname> ibss join <SSID> <freq in MHz> [fixed-freq] [<fixed bssid>] [beacon-interval <TU>] [basic-rates <rate in Mbps,rate2,...>] [mcast-rate <rate in Mbps>] [key d:0:abcde] dev <devname> ibss leave dev <devname> station dump dev <devname> station set <MAC address> vlan <ifindex> dev <devname> station set <MAC address> plink_action <open|block> dev <devname> station del <MAC address> dev <devname> station get <MAC address> dev <devname> survey dump dev <devname> mesh leave dev <devname> mesh join <mesh ID> [<param>=<value>]* dev <devname> mpath dump dev <devname> mpath set <destination MAC address> next_hop <next hop MAC address> dev <devname> mpath new <destination MAC address> next_hop <next hop MAC address> dev <devname> mpath del <MAC address> dev <devname> mpath get <MAC address> dev <devname> scan [-u] [freq <freq>*] [ies <hex as 00:11:..>] [ssid <ssid>*|passive] dev <devname> scan trigger [freq <freq>*] [ies <hex as 00:11:..>] [ssid <ssid>*|passive] dev <devname> scan dump [-u] reg get reg set <ISO/IEC 3166-1 alpha2> dev <devname> connect [-w] <SSID> [<freq in MHz>] [<bssid>] [key 0:abcde d:1:6162636465] dev <devname> disconnect dev <devname> link dev <devname> offchannel <freq> <duration> dev <devname> cqm rssi <threshold|off> [<hysteresis>] phy <phyname> wowlan show phy <phyname> wowlan disable phy <phyname> wowlan enable [any] [disconnect] [magic-packet] [gtk-rekey-failure] [eap-identity-request] [4way-handshake] [rfkill-release] [patterns <pattern>*] dev <devname> roc start <freq> <time> phy <phyname> set antenna <bitmap> | all | <tx bitmap> <rx bitmap> dev <devname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>] phy <phyname> set txpower <auto|fixed|limit> [<tx power in mBm>] phy <phyname> set distance <distance> phy <phyname> set coverage <coverage class> phy <phyname> set netns <pid> phy <phyname> set rts <rts threshold|off> phy <phyname> set frag <fragmentation threshold|off> dev <devname> set channel <channel> [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] phy <phyname> set channel <channel> [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] dev <devname> set freq <freq> [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] phy <phyname> set freq <freq> [HT20|HT40+|HT40-] phy <phyname> set name <new name> dev <devname> set peer <MAC address> dev <devname> set 4addr <on|off> dev <devname> set type <type> dev <devname> set meshid <meshid> dev <devname> set monitor <flag>* dev <devname> set mesh_param <param>=<value> [<param>=<value>]* dev <devname> set power_save <on|off> dev <devname> set bitrates [legacy-<2.4|5> <legacy rate in Mbps>*] dev <devname> get mesh_param [<param>] dev <devname> get power_save <param> You can omit the 'phy' or 'dev' if the identification is unique, e.g. "iw wlan0 info" or "iw phy0 info". (Don't when scripting.) Do NOT screenscrape this tool, we don't consider its output stable. </code></pre> thanks for your help

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
