Hi all,

I'm getting weird values from the debugfs file ieee80211/phy0/tsf: the
value goes up and down rather randomly and only the lower 24 bits or
so seem to ever be used (see below for details).

The only thing running on phy0 is a single ap interface (and the
monitor companion that hostapd sets up). I was expecting tsf to
increase monotonically until all 64 bits had been used.

For a moment I thought it might be the kernel snprintf (on mips)
playing a trick on me so I tried the following patch. But the result
is the same.
IMHO the most likely problem source is stuck beacons. Please compile the
driver with the debug option enabled and load it with
insmod ath9k debug=0x00000100

Humm... I observed a similar behavior a while ago because only the 15 lower bits of rstamp were used when being extended (but rstamp is 32 bits in fact). If so, it has been fixed by Felix in the following commit :
