From 428cbd4ff4d0f2423f49e499f499f04a636cb152 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Kossifidis Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2009 15:55:47 -0400 Subject: ath5k: Beaconing fixes * Write next beacon timer even on AP mode since without this we get no beacons + ath9k does it too. Docs say that we must write 0 on this register on AP mode to start TSF increment, we do both to be on the safe side. * Fix num_tx_pending function, we never read the register :P that's why we got all those "beacon queue 7 didn't stop messages". * Put full prioriy on beacon queue, lock all queues with lower priority using the arblock and also bypass any arblock by seting the arblock ignore flag. * For the CAB queue (do we need this thing ?, it seems crap) since it's supposed to fire up after each beacon (we don't use it on driver part, ath9k/MadWiFi does), don't make it DBA gated but instead make it fire after each beacon by using the beacon sent gated flag. * Increase bmiss threshold to 10, that's what we used on MadWiFi for a long time. Also when we have pending frames on the beacon queue (we got a beacon that didn't make it on the air) it's more likely that the beacon queue never started, probably due to faulty DBA setting, so change that "beacon queue didn't stop" message. Tested this with AP mode and IBSS mode and seems to work fine ;-) Signed-off-by: Nick Kossifidis Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Signed-off-by: John W.
