ath9k_hw: tweak noise immunity thresholds for older chipsets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Older chipsets are more sensitive to high PHY error counts, and the
|
|
|
|
|
current noise immunity thresholds were based on tests run at QCA with
|
|
|
|
|
newer chipsets.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This patch brings back the values from the old ANI implementation for
|
|
|
|
|
old chipsets, and it also disables weak signal detection on an earlier
|
|
|
|
|
noise immunity level, to improve overall radio stability on affected
|
|
|
|
|
devices.

ath9k_hw: toggle weak signal detection in AP mode on older chipsets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The commit 80b4205b "ath9k: Fix OFDM weak signal detection for AP mode"
|
|
|
|
|
prevented weak signal detection changes from taking effect in AP mode on
|
|
|
|
|
all chipsets, claiming it is "not allowed".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main reason for not disabling weak signal detection in AP mode is
|
|
|
|
|
that typically beacon RSSI is used to track whether it is needed to
|
|
|
|
|
boost range, and this is unavailable in AP mode for obvious reasons.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The problem with not disabling weak signal detection is that older
|
|
|
|
|
chipsets are very sensitive to high PHY error counts. When faced with
|
|
|
|
|
heavy noise, this can lead to an excessive amount of "Failed to stop
|
|
|
|
|
TX DMA" errors in the field.
