[PATCH 6/7] ath9k: validate the TID in the tx status information

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

 



Occasionally the hardware can send out tx status information with the wrong
TID. In that case, the BA status cannot be trusted and the aggregate
must be retransmitted.
