Your patch sets TXOK interrupt on the secondary interrupt mask register but if you don't enable TXOK on the primary imr you won't get any... 2236 sc->imask = AR5K_INT_RXOK | AR5K_INT_RXERR | AR5K_INT_RXEOL | 2237 AR5K_INT_RXORN | AR5K_INT_TXDESC | AR5K_INT_TXEOL | 2238 AR5K_INT_FATAL | AR5K_INT_GLOBAL | AR5K_INT_MIB; ...so this is weird, you shouldn't get any txok interrupt even with your patch. Txdesc/txeol should be enough. -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
