[ath9k-devel] ath9k driver broken since kernel v4.2

[ath9k-devel] ath9k driver broken since kernel v4.2

[Bart Van Assche]

Hello,

The ath9k driver drops more than 90% of all packets with Linux kernel 
v4.4-rc6 on my laptop. This behavior also occurs with kernel v4.2. 
However, with Linux kernel versions v4.1.5 and v3.19.3 the ath9k driver 
works fine on the same laptop. Is this report sufficient for one of the 
ath9k drivers to look further into this or do you perhaps expect me to 
run a bisect ?

Thanks,

Bart.

Many people using this driver. For example it works fine on my laptop.
Since no body knows why your HW is affected try to use git bisect.

[Xuefer]

I'm having exactly same problem, except i'm using openwrt with mac mac80211

it's broken since openwrt 1443a0ca4a5978ffc14d34608f46d8d695289c1b
svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk at 46198

-PKG_VERSION:=2015-03-09
-PKG_RELEASE:=3
+PKG_VERSION:=2015-06-22
+PKG_RELEASE:=1
 PKG_SOURCE_URL:=http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources
 PKG_BACKPORT_VERSION:=
-PKG_MD5SUM:=6d4b04e4ce8a1f54dabfb04f4709453c
+PKG_MD5SUM:=352b2b46d36a72aadc96161a3cefdb1c


i know how to use git bitset, but i don't know how to use it on openwrt's
source, i have to roll back to that svn changeset which build with kernel
3.18.17. current latest is kernel 3.18.23


bug reported at https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20309 yet no one else seems
to care
