From 1dae8d342e842cb9971f44d7b68580c7b9f26174 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helmut Schaa Date: Sun, 30 Jan 2011 13:16:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] rt2x00: Limit beacon updates in bss_info_changed to USB devices Currently there are two places that trigger a beacon update on PCI devices. The bss_info_changed callback and the periodic update triggered by the TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt. Since the next TBTT or PRETBTT interrupt will periodically fetch an updated beacon remove the update_beacon call in the bss_info_changed callback for PCI devices. In the worst case it will take one beacon interval longer to fetch the new beacon then before. For devices that have a PRETBTT interrupt there should be no change at all.
