[PATCH 3/6 v2] ath9k: Stop ANI when doing a reset

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

 



The MIB counters are disabled when doing a chip reset.
Since ANI depends on the MIB registers for its operation, relying
on the contents of said registers during HW reset results in sub-optimal
performance.
