commit: 2ee0a07028d2cde6e131b73f029dae2b93c50f3a From: Rajkumar Manoharan <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 06:08:04 +0530 Subject: ath9k: fix max noise floor threshold
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.
