[FIX 3.4+][PATCH] b43: N-PHY: increase initial value of "mind" in RSSI calibration

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

 



We're using "mind" variable to find the VCM that got the best polling
results. For each VCM we calculte "currd" which is compared to the
"mind". For PHY rev3+ "currd" gets values around 14k-40k. Looking for a
value smaller than 40 makes no sense, so increase the initial value.

This fixes a regression introduced in 3.4 by commit:
e0c9a0219a8f542e3946fe972a68aacf8c3f906c
(my BCM4322 performance dropped from 18,4Mb/s to 9,26Mb/s)
