Subject: [PATCH V2 3.2] b43: fill ctl1 word on all newer PHYs, fix PHY errors
Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2011 16:59:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1318863565-27145-1-git-send-email-zajec5@gmail.com> (raw)

This fixes PHY transmission errors reported on some LP-PHY and HT-PHY
cards. For LP-PHY they were quite rare and not really noticable. On
HT-PHY they were critical, OFDM rates were not available at all.

Signed-off-by: Rafa? Mi?ecki <zajec5@gmail.com>

V2: don't use >= for checking "old" vs. "new" PHY type, that was a
little hacky.
