Re: [PATCH v3] ath9k: fix firmware bug in some Mikrotik R11e-2HPnD cards

habe you checked them with routeros? i mean, routeros should show the same wrong values if i'm correct and in that case you should contact also the official vendor mikrotik about it. it might be a production fault

These cards have a very strange eeprom (we compared their eeprom with
eeprom of the same Mikrotik cards but without these problems). Now we
are discussing with our supplier how this is possible.

checking subvendor and subdevice id is usefull. mikrotik has special
values here

the R11e-2HPnD card has

subvendor 0x19b6

subdevice 0xd016


that i already suggested but it appears his units have zeroed sub fields
if it has zero subfields it has no original eeprom but a modified one.
all mikrotik cards with no exception have the subvendor and subdevice id
set.
the subvendor and subdevice is is stored in the eeprom. or the eeprom
could be also broke, but in this case the values should be 0xffff
i have several original mikrotik cards of this type and this is where i
got these values from. are you sure that your card is no immitation?
can he send me a picture of this card?

oh really? probably some fools then tampered with his cards and tried
to screw him. your units work without this patch, and tx/rx chain
reads out 0x3 ?
yes. i have about 20 - 25 of them in use and the chaininfo is correct
and also the subdevice and subvendor id
is correct but i'm highly interesting finding out more about this case
here. so do we have just have
a fake mikrotik card here of a known chinese marketplace or is it a real
one. and more interesting

if you install this card on a mikrotik board, what does routeros show
