[PATCH 3/9] ath5k: Fix TX queues stopping

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

 



It does not make sense to stop queues for NF calibration. This will not stop
transmissions from the card, if there are queued packets.

If we run out of TX buffers we need to stop all queues, not only one.
