[PATCH] ath9k: Last fix for TX software padding.

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

 



From: Benoit Papillault <benoit.papillault@xxxxxxx>

First, we copy/paste the padding stuff from ath9k_tx to ath_tx_cabq since it
needs to same kind of padding, but for internally generated beacons.
Next, software padding done on TX needs to be removed before calling
ieee80211_tx_status. The code was already there in ath_tx_complete but it
was wrong. Fix it by using ath9k_cmn_padpos. This later code has been
tested by sending packets to a monitor interface and reading packets from the
same interface.
