hi!
since it has been a long time since i sent patches, these go first to
ath5k-devel only for you to review.
i have discovered that on 5414 chipsets sometimes the performance is bad
because of wrong antenna diversity settings. it seems like the hardware does
not get diversity right some times when only one antenna is connected - it
sends out way too many frames on the wrong, disconnected antenna (as i noted
in patch 2).
also this prepares ath5k for antenna and diversity setting from userspace, for
now using a debugfs file. i will try to work on proper iw support for antenna
settings next.
greetings,
bruno
