Take the patch or drop it? Well, the way I see it: AR9170's silicon die has been cast before P2P was a thing. And while it was nice back in '10 then to had have something to test ath9k with, by todays standards the lack of features like separate TSF sync and the cacheless BA makes it so that it's holding back the performance and connection quality of all the clients which are connected to it. So, I think we'll just kicking down the can on that and I'm sorry that I gave the people the wrong impression. There are much better chips now that came with P2P in mind. So: please take the patch. Cheers Christian
