Subject: [PATCH 10/11] ath9k: Mix the received FFT bins to the random pool
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2015 23:51:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1430351482-59418-11-git-send-email-mickflemm@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1430351482-59418-1-git-send-email-mickflemm@gmail.com>

E/M noise is a pretty good source of entropy so we mix the FFT
measurements of the E/M spectrum to /dev/random pool. Note that
this doesn't increase the pool's entropy count but it still helps
on improving the output of /dev/(u)random.
