Dang! I just developed a pretty much identical patch locally to solve my wireless connection loss issues and was about 20 minutes into a 5 hour test to make certain it worked correctly. I wish I'd been faster at getting mine tested and out the door. Oh well, at least -somebody- got a fix up. Indeed, please merge this to 2.6.27 ASAP. Having a problem like this hit the 2.6.27 final release would -really- suck. - Steven _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
