Hi -
as Terry and Steve have discovered, mixing ah-demo and ad-hoc in a mesh results in very low throughput, if the ad-hoc devices use ath9k. The problem is probably related to the fact that we are mixing 802.11n with 802.11g in an ad-hoc cell, and there are no beacons from the 802.11g stations, so the combination of both operates at basic rate.
Unfortunately, we have to use ah-demo with Madwifi, since the combination of an ad-hoc VAP and an AP VAP on the same interface does not work.
It just crosses my mind that nobody might have tried to switch ath9k to g-only mode yet. But that would be a suboptimal solution anyway.
Cheers,
Elektra

Hi Elektra
We did indeed test with ath9k in 'g-only' mode with no change to the problem.
Regards
Terry
