From 2249b011432ca3dcce112f0f71e0f531b4bb9347 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Don Fry Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 08:36:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] iwlagn: workaround bug crashing some APs This patch reverts commit 9b7688328422b88a7a15dc0dc123ad9ab1a6e22d which was introduced in 2.6.38-rc1. It works around a problem where the iwlagn driver stimulates a bug crashing (requiring power cycle to recover) some APs under heavy traffic.
