Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ath9k: Fix issue with parsing malformed CFP IE
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:40:58 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1378879859-32290-2-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1378879859-32290-1-git-send-email-sujith@msujith.org>
From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@qca.qualcomm.com>
All QCA chips have the ability to parse the CF Parameter Set
IE in beacons. If the IE is malformed in the beacons from some
APs [1], the HW locks up. In AP mode, a beacon stuck would happen
and in client mode, a disconnection usually is the result.
To fix this issue, set the AR_PCU_MISC_MODE2_CFP_IGNORE to ignore
the CFP IE in beacons - this is applicable for all chips. For
AP mode, if this issue happens, the NAV is also corrupted and has
to be reset - this will be done in a subsequent patch.
