[PATCH v2 2/2] ath10k: add hw connection monitor support

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

 



Some firmware revisions (e.g. qca6174 with fw73)
don't deliver beacons to host reliably. This
causes random disconnects even in perfect
conditions. This is most visible with
multi-channel operation.

All available firmware revisions seem to support
beacon miss offloading so there shouldn't be any
problems.

Notes:
    v2:
     * conflict resolution hint: base of this patchset
       (af695a659c69d347948ceab2c562e208ba48b26e) doesn't
       include `ath10k: fix patching mistake for AP/IBSS CSA`
       yet. Whichever you apply first you'll end up with a
       conflict in ath10k_bss_disassoc(). Eventually the
       data_lock goes away from there.
