iwlagn: 5000 do not support idle mode

2011-08-02T17:50:56+00:00

5000 series has issue supporting power save idle mode:

commit	9dc2153315650eae220898668b6aa56a25c130be

iwlwifi: always support idle mode for agn devices

For agn devices, always support idle mode which help power
consumption in idle unassociated state.

the above changes cause 5000 become not stable when power management is "on"

rtlwifi: Fix kernel oops on ARM SOC

2011-08-01T17:46:47+00:00

This driver uses information from the self member of the pci_bus struct to
get information regarding the bridge to which the PCIe device is attached.
Unfortunately, this member is not established on all architectures, which
leads to a kernel oops.

Skipping the entire block that uses the self member to determine the bridge
vendor will only affect RTL8192DE devices as that driver sets the ASPM support
flag differently when the bridge vendor is Intel. If the self member is
available, there is no functional change.

This patch fixes Bugzilla No. 40212.

ath9k: skip ->config_pci_powersave() if PCIe port has ASPM disabled

2011-08-01T17:46:46+00:00

We receive many bug reports about system hang during suspend/resume
when ath9k driver is in use. Adrian Chadd remarked that this problem
happens on systems that have ASPM disabled.

To do not hit the bug, skip doing ->config_pci_powersave magic if PCIe
downstream port device, which ath9k device is connected to, has ASPM
disabled.

Bug was introduced by:

commit 53bc7aa08b48e5cd745f986731cc7dc24eef2a9f
Author: Vivek Natarajan 
Date:   Mon Apr 5 14:48:04 2010 +0530

    ath9k: Add support for newer AR9285 chipsets.

Patch should address:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37462
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37082
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=697157

however I did not receive confirmation about that, except from Camilo
Mesias, whose system stops hang regularly with this patch (but still
hangs from time to time, but this is probably some other bug).

iwlegacy: set tx power after rxon_assoc

2011-08-01T17:46:45+00:00

If settings of tx power was deferred during scan or changing channel we
have to setup them during commit rxon. Fix problem on 3945 (4965 already
has this fix).

Optimize code to apply tx settings only when tx power was actually
changed.
