From 8bd8beab49fec3f7d014c328641bd94de3df744b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruno Randolf Date: Tue, 9 Mar 2010 16:55:23 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: use fixed antenna for tx descriptors when using a fixed antenna we should use the antenna number in all tx descriptors, otherwise the hardware will sometimes send the frame out on the other antenna. it seems like the hardware does not always respect the default antenna and diversity settings (esp. AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA). also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some times, causing packet loss. this is both verified with the antenna statistics output of the previous patch and a spectrum analyzer.
