Subject: [PATCH 2/6] ath9k: Fix ANI monitoring
Date: Tue,  4 Jun 2013 15:41:31 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370340695-29003-2-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1370340695-29003-1-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org>

From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>

The commit "ath9k_hw: improve ANI processing and rx desensitizing parameters"
changed various ANI operational parameters to address a specific
card/environment. This is not really applicable for other cards
in general usage.

As per internal documentation, lowering the immunity level can be
done only after 5 periods have passed and the CCK/OFDM errors are
below the low watermak threshold - which have been fixed at 300 and
400 respectively by the sytems team.

Raising the immunity level can be done when CCK/OFDM errors exceed
600 and 1000 (per second).

Set these values once during attach.
