[PATCH v4 2/3] wifi: rtl8xxxu: Fix the channel width reporting

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

 



The gen 2 chips RTL8192EU and RTL8188FU periodically send the driver
reports about the TX rate, and the driver passes these reports to
sta_statistics. The reports from RTL8192EU may or may not include the
channel width. The reports from RTL8188FU do not include it.

Only access the c2h->ra_report.bw field if the report (skb) is big
enough.

The other problem fixed here is that the code was actually never
changing the channel width initially reported by
rtl8xxxu_bss_info_changed because the value of RATE_INFO_BW_20 is 0.

Fixes: 0985d3a410ac ("rtl8xxxu: Feed current txrate information for mac80211")

v4:
 - Use the more convenient offsetofend macro.
 
v3:
 - Don't assume bw will always be 1 byte.
 
v2:
 - Eliminate the magic numbers.
