From 64bc099c97abc7b2657351629615a8e9f43d6458 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:08:04 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold commit 2ee0a07028d2cde6e131b73f029dae2b93c50f3a upstream. Currently the maximum noise floor limit is set as too high (-60dB). The assumption of having a higher threshold limit is that it would help de-sensitize the receiver (reduce phy errors) from continuous interference. But when we have a bursty interference where there are collisions and then free air time and if the receiver is desensitized too much, it will miss the normal packets too. Lets make use of chips specific min, nom and max limits always. This patch helps to improve the connection stability in congested networks.
