Thanks a lot for retesting. Loss of TX rate would be the worst thing that can happen with this patch, as it's very very hard to debug due to the size. I didn't test it on all of my devices, yet. I just tried a 4306, where it doesn't cause any regression. -- 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
