Re: [CFT] if_ath updates - ar5416 (macbook pro, etc)
Hi, I've committed a couple more small AR9160 related fixes. Please test if_ath if you're using AR9160 in any mode (hostap, adhoc, station) and provide some feedback.

Re: [CFT] if_ath updates - ar5416 (macbook pro, etc)
Hi everyone, I've just merged in some changes to the noise floor (NF) internal calibration and NF CCA (clear channel assessment) programming. This may (slightly) improve AR5416/AR9160 behaviour in both AP and station mode in noisy/busy conditions. I've only really tested this in AP mode as I don't (currently) have a laptop or desktop with an AR5416 or AR9160 in it. Thanks!

I have that kernel with the merged from head revisions installing right now. Should be setup to play with in about 15 minutes then I am out of office for the night.

I have the win drivers for this but its a USB device and does not work with NDIS. I am thinking this is just one of those quirks but like I said, I haven't had the time to really get into it since I already have multiple other means to use for wireless. I'd love to be able to use this as a permanent scanning device though. Ive tried a few different things with this device that failed to work so anybodies guess is better than mine right now.

Merge in: r211134 and r211135; these are the AR5416 initval changes. I wasn't even thinking about working on atheros stuff in 2007/2008. :) Thanks for the offer. I've bought a pair of AR5416's for here so I can test regressions to the ar5416 module whilst I work on the AR9160.

has proven to be an improvement with no drawbacks.
