From 66f3d999759fd703bf43acc0bd58b422701c77b4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sun, 5 Aug 2012 18:31:46 +0200 Subject: iwlwifi: disable greenfield transmissions as a workaround commit 50e2a30cf6fcaeb2d27360ba614dd169a10041c5 upstream. There's a bug that causes the rate scaling to get stuck when it has to use single-stream rates with a peer that can do GF and SGI; the two are incompatible so we can't use them together, but that causes the algorithm to not work at all, it always rejects updates. Disable greenfield for now to prevent that problem. Reviewed-by: Emmanuel Grumbach Tested-by: Cesar Eduardo Barros Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
