As of now the ANI cycle is executed only when the chip is awake.
On idle state case, the station wakes up from network sleep for
beacon reception. Since most of the time, ANI cycle is not syncing
with beacon wakeup, ANI cycle is ignored. Approx 5 mins once, the
calibration is performed. This could affect the connection stability
when the station is idle for long. Even though the OFDM and CCK phy
error rates are too high, ANI is unable to tune its immunity level
as quick enough due to rare execution.
Here the experiment shows that OFDM and CCK levels are at default
even on higher phy error rate.
This change ensures that ANI calibration will be exectued atleast
once for every 10 seconds. The below result shows improvements and
immunity levels are adopted quick enough.
This patch changes the way the driver deals with
command responses and traps which are sent through
the special interrupt input endpoint 3.
While the carl9170 firmware does not use this
endpoint for command responses or traps, the
firmware loader on the device does. It uses it
to notify the host about 'watchdog triggered'
in case the firmware/hardware has crashed.
Note:
Even without this patch, the driver is still
able to detect the mishap and reset the device.
But previously it did that because the trap
event caused an out-of-order message sequence
number error, which also triggered a reset.

would be used as the size parameter of the memcpy() because that

But fortunately when I looked at the callers, bufsize is not controlled

mac80211: connect with HT20 if HT40 is not permitted
Some changes to fix issues with HT40 APs in Korea
and follow-up changes to allow using HT40 even if
the local regulatory database disallows it caused
issues with iwlwifi (and could cause issues with
other devices); iwlwifi firmware would assert if
you tried to connect to an AP that has an invalid
configuration (e.g. using HT40- on channel 140.)
Fix this, while avoiding the "Korean AP" issue by
disabling HT40 and advertising HT20 to the AP
when connecting.
ieee80211_sta_expire will be called by both IBSS and mesh
interfaces to account for inactive stations, so it would be more
appropriate to use sta_dbg instead of ibss_dbg.
