This patch maintains a beacon interval for each beacon. The SWBA interrupts are based on the shortest interval of the active beacons. This has been tested as a mesh access point with both AP and MESH on one interface. Signed-off-by: Steve Brown --- A patch to wireshark has been posted to lists

Some wireless base stations implement 802.11n mode in ways that open-source drivers cannot handle properly, resulting in very unstable connections. This patch introduces an '11n_disable' option to the ath9k driver, similar to the same option for the iwlagn driver. Tested at the internal wireles
