Subject: ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=063279062a8c530cc90fb77797db16c49c905b26;p=GitHub%2Fmt8127%2Fandroid_kernel_alcatel_ttab.git

ath5k: honor FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC in STA mode

We were setting RX_FILTER_BEACON even after entering STA mode,
which leads to a lot of unnecessary wakeups.  This should fix the
bug "Ath5k driver has too many interrupts per second at idle" at
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11749.
