Hi Andriy, I attempted to re-write all bits back, but the result is the same. Strange.
Perhaps the initialization code is wrong somewhere? I will give it another review. -- Farhan Khan PGP Fingerprint: B28D 2726 E2BC A97E 3854 5ABE 9A9F 00BC D525 16EE On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 4:28 AM, Andriy Voskoboinyk <s3er...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > there are some issues that may cause wrong interrupt handling: > > 1) IMR register bits - they were taken from 92c > (and they are not compatible - for example, RXFOVW seems to be moved > to the ext register) > > 2) Try to ACK (write back) all bits, > not masked ones (like it is done for 92c) > > > > 2017-12-22 0:43 GMT+02:00, Farhan Khan <kha...@gmail.com>: > >> Hi, >>> >>> As I wrote a few weeks back, I am working on the extension to rtwn(4) to >>> add >>> RTL8188EE support.
