From: Michael Buesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Drain the Microcode TX-status-FIFO before we enable IRQs. This is required, because the FIFO may still have entries left from a previous run. Those would immediately fire after enabling IRQs and would lead to an oops in the DMA TXstatus handling code.
Signed-off-by: Michael Buesch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- John, Please apply this to wireless-2.6 and push it to 2.6.19. It has already been sent to -stable for inclusion in 2.6.18.3. This patch replaces one with the same name that was sent by Michael on October 19. It had a bug, fixed in this version, that would lock up certain core revisions.
