From 3e4fb5faefb57824f2e42305b3d5907845af978c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 14:22:46 -0800 Subject: iwlwifi: Tune radio to prevent unexpected behavior We have seen the throughput dropped due to external noisy environment and the radio is out of tune. There are lot of plcp errors indicating this condition. Eventually the station can get de-authenticated by the Access Point. By resetting and tuning the radio, the plcp errors are reduced or eliminated and the throughput starts to rise. To prevent unexpected behavior such as drop in throughput or deauthentication, - The change provides the driver feature to monitor and tune the radio base on the statistics notification from the uCode. - It also allows the setting of the plcp error rate threshold via the plcp_delta under debugfs interface.
