Just to be clear - the powersave support when loading ath9k also puts the MAC/PHY to sleep and wakes it up as appropriate. You're seeing 0xdeadc0de which the internal AHB glue reports if there's a transaction timeout (ie, the MAC/PHY is asleep or powered down when you went to access it.) ASPM has to do with the PHYs at both ends being awake (or not.) I think you'd either trigger some pcie error or read 0xffffffff if things were screwed up there. So I'd try with ASPM enabled/disabled as well as ps_enable on or off. It could be an interplay between the two as well. -a _______________________________________________ ath9k-devel mailing list ath9k-devel@lists.ath9k.org https://lists.ath9k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath9k-devel
