[ath9k-devel] [PATCH V2] ath9k: Re-enable interrupts after a channel change failure

2013-04-02 Thread Robert Shade
ath_complete_reset will not be called if ath9k_hw_reset is unsuccessful, so we need to re-enable intertupts to balence the previous ath_prepare_reset call. Also schedule a reset as a best effort method to recover the chip from whatever state caused the channel change failure. Fixes https://bugzil

2013-04-02 Thread Adrian Chadd
The point behind GPIO pins is that they're generic. There's a multiplexer in the NIC which lets you map various GPIO pins to any internal function. So, you need to find which GPIO pins the bluetooth device is connected to. Once you know that, you can set the GPIO input/output multiplexer bits to

Hello Mr.Adrian, The card manufacturer like Compex systems for AR9287 has these pins available on PCIe interface. But my query is AR9287 specific. AR9287 is a 76 pin IC. GPIO4 is Pin22, GPIO5 is Pin23, GPIO6 is Pin 24 and so on. The question is if I need to access COEX signals (WL_ACTIVE, BT
