Ok, on which specification bits is this actually based? :)
txpower_bg still needs a rewrite, and I have a patch for that in
the pipeline, but it's still buggy due to missing specs stuff.

It is not in the V4 specifications that I have found, but the V3 (softmac) driver does this "fixup".

I cannot find this in the sm driver. Can you give me a hint
where to search?

With it, my 4311 connects with bcm43xx-mac80211. Without it, no connection.

Ok, nice.


My memory was faulty earlier, but it is coming back. V3 differs in that txctl1 (the equivalent of tx_bias) is not initialized to 0xFF, but is given a value of 0-3 in bcm43xx_default_txctl1. I added trace code that checked the value being written to radio register 0x52 and dumped the stack when the value was still 0xFF. On that basis, I made it look like the code in bcm43xx_phy_initg when tx_bias is 0xFF.

Would you prefer the equivalent of bcm43xx_default_txctl1? That wouldn't be difficult.

Are the txpower adjustment bugs a problem with the specs? Is there anything I can do?
