ath5k: reduce exported channel list

2009-04-22T20:54:35Z

Claiming every available 5 ghz channel has a couple of negative side-effects: scanning takes a long time, and the channel list overflows the available buffer space for netlink commands, resulting in: $ iw phy phy0 info command failed: No buffer space available (-105) This patch adds a modparam so people who want to see all the channels can do so by passing all_channels=1. By default users will see a smaller list of channels. This also halves scan time, from 10 seconds down to less than 5 when using world regulatory.

ath5k: properly drop packets from ops->tx

2009-03-28T00:13:19Z

We shouldn't return NETDEV_TX_BUSY from the TX callback, especially after we've mucked with the sk_buffs. Drop the packets and return NETDEV_TX_OK. Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

ath5k: warn and correct rate for unknown hw rate indexes

2009-03-28T00:13:18Z

ath5k sets up a mapping table from the hardware rate index to the rate index used by mac80211; however, we have seen some received frames with incorrect rate indexes. Such frames normally get dropped with a warning in __ieee80211_rx(), but it doesn't include enough information to track down the error. This patch adds a warning to hw_to_driver_rix for any lookups that result in a rate index of -1, then returns a valid rate so the frame can be processed.

ath5k: remove dummy PCI "retry timeout" fix

2009-03-28T00:12:55Z

Remove the PCI retry timeout code, for all the same reasons that Luis Rodriguez removed it for ath9k. Changes-licensed-under: 3-Clause-BSD Cc: Luis Rodriguez Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland Signed-off-by: John W. Linville

ath5k: disable MIB interrupts

2009-03-28T00:12:54Z

The MIB interrupt fires whenever counters overflow; however without support for automatic noise immunity, we can sometimes get an interrupt storm. The get_stats() callback reads the counters anyway so we can disable the interrupt for now until ANI is implemented. This fixes the issue reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12647.
