This variable was once set to WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE and there's no code that could change the variable to something else. Therefore it seems this is not necessary :-) Signed-off-by: Holger Schurig <holgerschurig@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2: forgot to remove "capability" it from struct lbs_private --- linux-wl.orig/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/dev.h +++ linux-wl/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/dev.h @@ -175,7 +175,6 @@ struct lbs_private { struct bss_descriptor *networks; struct assoc_request * pending_assoc_req; struct assoc_request * in_progress_assoc_req; - u16 capability; uint16_t enablehwauto; uint16_t ratebitmap; --- linux-wl.orig/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c +++ linux-wl/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/assoc.c @@ -807,8 +807,7 @@ static int lbs_try_associate(struct lbs_ } /* Use short preamble only when both the BSS and firmware support it */ - if ((priv->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE) && - (assoc_req->bss.capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE)) + if (assoc_req->bss.capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE) preamble = RADIO_PREAMBLE_SHORT; ret = lbs_set_radio(priv, preamble, 1); @@ -939,8 +938,7 @@ static int lbs_adhoc_join(struct lbs_pri } /* Use short preamble only when both the BSS and firmware support it */ - if ((priv->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE) && - (bss->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE)) { + if (bss->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE) { lbs_deb_join("AdhocJoin: Short preamble\n"); preamble = RADIO_PREAMBLE_SHORT; } @@ -1049,7 +1047,7 @@ static int lbs_adhoc_start(struct lbs_pr struct assoc_request *assoc_req) { struct cmd_ds_802_11_ad_hoc_start cmd; - u8 preamble = RADIO_PREAMBLE_LONG; + u8 preamble = RADIO_PREAMBLE_SHORT; size_t ratesize = 0; u16 tmpcap = 0; int ret = 0; @@ -1057,11 +1055,6 @@ static int lbs_adhoc_start(struct lbs_pr lbs_deb_enter(LBS_DEB_ASSOC); - if (priv->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE) { - lbs_deb_join("ADHOC_START: Will use short preamble\n"); - preamble = RADIO_PREAMBLE_SHORT; - } - ret = lbs_set_radio(priv, preamble, 1); if (ret) goto out; --- linux-wl.orig/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/cmd.c +++ linux-wl/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/cmd.c @@ -842,9 +842,6 @@ int lbs_set_radio(struct lbs_private *pr if (priv->fwrelease < 0x09000000) { switch (preamble) { case RADIO_PREAMBLE_SHORT: - if (!(priv->capability & WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE)) - goto out; - /* Fall through */ case RADIO_PREAMBLE_AUTO: case RADIO_PREAMBLE_LONG: cmd.control = cpu_to_le16(preamble); --- linux-wl.orig/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/main.c +++ linux-wl/drivers/net/wireless/libertas/main.c @@ -839,7 +839,6 @@ static int lbs_init_adapter(struct lbs_p priv->mac_control = CMD_ACT_MAC_RX_ON | CMD_ACT_MAC_TX_ON; priv->radio_on = 1; priv->enablehwauto = 1; - priv->capability = WLAN_CAPABILITY_SHORT_PREAMBLE; priv->psmode = LBS802_11POWERMODECAM; priv->psstate = PS_STATE_FULL_POWER; priv->is_deep_sleep = 0; -- -- 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
