[PATCH] ath9k: Fix IDLE Powersave

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

 



* PS_WAIT_FOR_TX_ACK is used in network-sleep mode and checking
  it for handling IDLE transitions is incorrect. Fix this.

* RX PCU/DMA engines have to be stopped before setting the chip into
  full-sleep mode - otherwise the chip becomes mute.

* Make things a bit clear by checking explicitly for network-sleep
  mode in the tx() routine and add a couple of debug statements
  to aid PS debugging.
