[PATCH v2 06/20] ath5k: run NF calibration only every 60 seconds

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

 



Since NF calibration interferes with TX and RX and also has been the cause of
other problems (when it's run concurrently with ath5k_reset) we want to run it
less often - every 60 seconds for now.
