[PATCH 2/2] ath5k: always extend rx timestamp with tsf

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

 



always extend the rx timestamp with the local TSF, since this information is
also needed for proper IBSS merging. this is done in the tasklet for now, maybe
has to be moved to the interrupt handler like in madwifi.
