Subject: [PATCH 5/5 V2] b43legacy: reinit on too many PHY TX errors
Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2007 23:35:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071124233525.7ba147f3@morte> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071124201301.797261738@polimi.it>
Restart the hardware on too many PHY TX errors. A thousand PHY TX errors
per 15 seconds means we won't be able to recover for sure.
