This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled iwlwifi: disable TX AMPDU by default for iwldvm to the 3.13-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: iwlwifi-disable-tx-ampdu-by-default-for-iwldvm.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.13 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 205e2210daa975d92ace485a65a31ccc4077fe1a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 12 Feb 2014 15:15:05 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: disable TX AMPDU by default for iwldvm From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx> commit 205e2210daa975d92ace485a65a31ccc4077fe1a upstream. NICs supported by iwldvm don't handle well TX AMPDU. Disable it by default, still leave the possibility to the user to force enable it with a debug parameter. NICs supported by iwlmvm don't suffer from the same issue, leave TX AMPDU enabled by default for these.
