[PATCH 3/3 v2] ath9k: Handle abnormal NAV in AP mode

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

 



From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Beacon transmission would get stuck if the NAV is
an invalid value for some reason. Check and correct
the NAV value in the HW when this happens.

v2 - Use AR_NAV macro instead of the register address.
