[PATCH 0/7] cfg80211: few regulatory fixes and debugging enhancements

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

 



Easwar reported some odd issues with ath9k regarding regulatory
while during the 2.6.36-rc cycles. Unfortunately I was only able
to address the issues for these reported issues until now as I had
other higher priority items on my plate. It turns out that some of
these issues are pretty serious, mostly the one that does not apply
regulatory updates for disabling a band when that is the intention.

These issues were simply overlooked but they are part of the design,
so we target a few of these fixes to stable. The new debugging stuff
is left only for the development series on the next kernel.

There is one world regulatory domain update we are considering now
for the Atheros cards, but we haven't yet decided on this. I'll send
the patch if we agree on it next. Thanks to Easwar for his reports
and work on this.
