[PATCH 2.6.38] iwlwifi: add {ack,plpc}_check module parameters

[PATCH 2.6.38] iwlwifi: add {ack,plpc}_check module parameters

[Stanislaw Gruszka]

commit b7977ffaab5187ad75edaf04ac854615cea93828 upstream.

Add module ack_check, and plcp_check parameters. Ack_check is disabled
by default since is proved that check ack health can cause troubles.
Plcp_check is enabled by default.

This prevent connection hangs with "low ack count detected" messages.
