Try with a large beacon interval. I think most likely what happens is that it's on a passive channel, and the firmware drops the TX packet with a bad status. Before the patch, we'd just wait sitting on the channel for HZ/5 (200ms) before trying again, with the patch we immediately retransmit the packet, which will fail again and again until the firmware received a beacon. If you look at iwlwifi/dvm/, it has some passive_no_rx workaround for this, which I don't see in iwlegacy. I think the best way to solve this would be to do such a thing in iwlegacy as well, but until then and for stable maybe we should introduce another HW flag to restore the previous mac80211 behaviour? johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
