Some of the vendor drivers change it to 0x1e before scanning > and then restore it to the original value after. When WiFi gets connected, it will try to adjust initial gain for target AP. If we scan in this situation, change it to 0x1e to have better coverage to find APs. > > Signed-off-by: Bitterblue Smith <rtl8821cerfe2@xxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Ping-Ke Shih <pkshih@xxxxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c | 6 ++---- > 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c > b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c > index 03c0aaa9141c..fd8c8c6d53d6 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c > +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtl8xxxu/rtl8xxxu_core.c > @@ -7034,10 +7034,8 @@ static int rtl8xxxu_start(struct ieee80211_hw *hw) > rtl8xxxu_write16(priv, REG_RXFLTMAP2, 0xffff); > rtl8xxxu_write16(priv, REG_RXFLTMAP0, 0xffff); > > - if (priv->rtl_chip == RTL8188E) > - rtl8xxxu_write32(priv, REG_OFDM0_XA_AGC_CORE1, 0x6955341e); > - else > - rtl8xxxu_write32(priv, REG_OFDM0_XA_AGC_CORE1, 0x6954341e); > + rtl8xxxu_write32_mask(priv, REG_OFDM0_XA_AGC_CORE1, > + OFDM0_X_AGC_CORE1_IGI_MASK, 0x1e); > > return ret; > > -- > 2.39.2 > > ------Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.
