[PATCH 2/2] ath5k: do not re-run AGC calibration periodically

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

 



All other Atheros drivers run the AGC gain calibration and DC offset
calibration only after reset. Running them periodically has caused stability
issues on some (primarily AR2315/2413/5413/5414 based) devices, leading to
messages such as:

ath5k phy0: gain calibration timeout (2462MHz)
ath5k phy0: calibration of channel 11 failed
