My 3.3.0 ath9k code doesn't look like that patch at all.  Is some
extra back-porting needed for 3.3.0???


static void ath_node_attach(struct ath_softc *sc, struct ieee80211_sta *sta,
			    struct ieee80211_vif *vif)
{
	struct ath_node *an;
	an = (struct ath_node *)sta->drv_priv;

#ifdef CONFIG_ATH9K_DEBUGFS
	spin_lock(&sc->nodes_lock);
	list_add(&an->list, &sc->nodes);
	spin_unlock(&sc->nodes_lock);
#endif
	an->sta = sta;
	an->vif = vif;
	if (sc->sc_flags & SC_OP_TXAGGR) {
		ath_tx_node_init(sc, an);
		an->maxampdu = 1 << (IEEE80211_HT_MAX_AMPDU_FACTOR +
				     sta->ht_cap.ampdu_factor);
		an->mpdudensity = parse_mpdudensity(sta->ht_cap.ampdu_density);
	}
}


Thanks,
Ben
