Subject: [PATCH wireless-2.6] iwlagn: fix "Received BA when not expected"
Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:10:23 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110428111011.GA6967@redhat.com> (raw)
Need to use broadcast sta_id for management and multicast frames,
otherwise we broke BA session and get messages like that:
"Received BA when not expected"
or (on older kernels):
"BA scd_flow 0 does not match txq_id 10"
This fix regression introduced in 2.6.35 during station management
code rewrite by:
commit 2a87c26bbe9587baeb9e56d3ce0b4971bd777643
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date: Fri Apr 30 11:30:45 2010 -0700
iwlwifi: use iwl_find_station less
Patch partially resolve:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16691
However, there are still 11n performance problems on 4965 and 5xxx
devices that need to be ivestigated.
