hi pavel,
i tried the trunk versions also. pasting below the from the dev-mail list
to track
In the openwrt patch 400-new_hal.patch, which i believe is related to
hardware, also attaching the patch.
+ /* WAR for AR7100 PCI bug */
+#ifdef CONFIG_ATHEROS_AR71XX
+ if ((ar_device(sc->devid) >= 5210) && (ar_device(sc->devid) < 5416))
{
+ ath_hal_setcapability(ah, HAL_CAP_DMABURST_RX, 0,
HAL_DMABURST_4B, NULL);
+ ath_hal_setcapability(ah, HAL_CAP_DMABURST_TX, 0,
HAL_DMABURST_4B, NULL);
+ }
+#endif
+
for the bug ttps://madwifi-project.org/ticket/2333 , i tried with latest
trunk, but no data transfer.

We don't use such preprocessor definitions in MadWifi.
CONFIG_ATHEROS_AR71XX is never defined.

5416)) {
That's pretty much everything supported by MadWifi, except 802.11n capable
devices.

I need a description of the change.

Since I don't have the hardware, I rely on others testing and confirming
that the patch is functional.
If you see a regression from 2333 to the current trunk, please consider
bisection to find the offending change. Chances are it's the switchover
to the free HAL. You could test the madwifi-hal-0.9.30.13 branch to see
if that's the case, since it keeps the non-free HAL that was in the trunk
earlier.
Please put all relevant data to the ticket, so that it's kept in one
place.
