From 9804b98d57f9b3b02a8906b0b45f461ce0c08428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruno Randolf Date: Sat, 19 Jan 2008 18:17:59 +0900 Subject: ath5k: better beacon timer calculation update ath5k_beacon_update_timers() for better beacon timer calculation in a variety of situations. most important is the possibility to call it with the timestamp of a received beacon, when we detected that a HW merge has happened and we need to reconfigure the beacon timers based on that. we call this from the mac80211 callback reset_tsf now instead of beacon_update, and there will be more use of it in the next patch. drivers/net/wireless/ath5k/base.c: Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf Signed-off-by: John W.
