[PATCH] ath5k: disable ASPM

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

 



Atheros card on Acer Aspire One (AOA150, Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:001c] (rev 01)) doesn't work well with ASPM
enabled. With ASPM ath5k will eventually stall on heavy traffic with often
'unsupported jumbo' warnings appearing. Disabling ASPM L0s/L1 in ath5k fixes
these problems.

Reproduced with pcie_aspm=force and by using 'nc < /dev/zero > /dev/null' at
both ends (usually stalls within seconds).
