Re: [PATCH 2/2 v2] p54: disable QoS on older firmwares

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@xxxxxx>

This patch fixes a regression with older (pre 2.5.2.0) firmwares, that don't
support the QoS queues yet...

Thanks to Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@xxxxxx> for reporting and debugging it.

Ok
