* ath9k: add support for 802.11n bonded out AR2427Luis R. Rodriguez2010-02-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Some single chip family devices are sold in the market with 802.11n bonded out, these have no hardware capability for 802.11n but ath9k can still support them. These are called AR2427. Cc: stable@kernel.org Reported-by: Rolf Leggewie <bugzilla.kernel.org@rolf.leggewie.biz> Tested-by: Bernhard Reiter <ockham@raz.or.at> Signed-off-by: Luis R.

* ath9k: improve max rate retry handlingFelix Fietkau2010-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | ath9k currently forces hw->max_rate_tries to 4 to work around rate control inefficiencies. This has some negative side effects, such as rate_control_send_low also using a maximum of 4 tries, which could negatively affect reliability of unicast management frames. This patch pushes the retry limit to the rate control instead, and allows it to use more tries on the last stage to prevent unnecessary packet loss.

* ath9k: Fix panic on driver loadSujith2010-01-14
| | | | | | | | | | | The device has to be marked as invalid before registering the ISR. HW initialization takes place after the ISR has been registered, and the invalid flag is eventually cleared in the ->stop() callback.

* ath9k: Cleanup init/deinit routinesSujith2010-01-12
| | | | | | | | | The device initialization and termination functions were messy and convoluted. Introduce helper functions to clarify init_softc() and simplify things in general. Signed-off-by: Sujith <Sujith.Manoharan@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
