2008-09-28 Thread Brian Prodoehl
I have a patch set which adds pretty nice support to ath5k for the 900MHz cards out there, but right now the regulatory support I have for them is a hack. CRDA devs, are you open to adding the 900MHz ISM band to your database? Have you thought about how you might want to support the 3.65GHz licen

[ath5k-devel] [PATCH] ath5k: write beacon control register twice when resetting tsf

2008-09-28 Thread Bob Copeland
According to the newly-released Atheros HAL code, asserting the TSF reset bit will toggle a hardware internal state, resulting in a spurious reset on the next chip reset. Whenever we force a TSF bit, write the bit twice to clear the internal signal. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
