+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #621103 +++ Description of problem: We have bunch of new mac80211 and wlan drivers bug fixes in 2.6.32 -stable kernel, need to apply them to RHEL5.
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release.
Customer found an issue where the driver would fail after about 12 hours of use (I don’t have the stack trace from the kernel handy). Only a power cycle would allow the hardware to be used again. He said that after applying the patches below, it works. Could you confirm if the following patches will be applied? commit: a420e9f34f545968efdf414de17c374445ef2589 [PATCH] ath9k: fix beacon slot/buffer leak commit: 1c97637c37d73d0afa0759468eec8132b442452f [PATCH] ath9k: fix eeprom INI values override for 2GHz-only cards commit: 20f774c4adc1f0690b300103b3f046c79d82ed99 [PATCH] ath9k: Fix sequence numbers for PAE frames commit: 31a1e79f7defaeed09b176854a09570a31f4e0fb [PATCH] ath9k: disable RIFS search for AR91xx based chips commit: f58a7b783d3642807ba44af27315b83a7d8ae525 [PATCH] ath9k: fix rate control fallback rate selection commit: 9ba155b84391989fb97ddb210c741d6abc44a613 [PATCH] ath9k: fix beacon timer restart after a card reset commit: 948dc19cef84be418aadc6b3ade94207c0888937 [PATCH] ath9k: Enable IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_TX_ACK_STATUS flag for ath9k commit: 525ad995580f1d760cbf4a3b42df1cba3df6821b [PATCH] ath9k: Enable TIM timer interrupt only when needed. commit: fa8e8558a6874707d8e30c85bb386f43cb61a6e1 [PATCH] ath9k: fix BUG_ON triggered by PAE frames commit: 6b2c1eb8b7f909c827020d2966a7088bd4b253e0 [PATCH] ath9k: add support for 802.11n bonded out AR2427 commit: b260729c8a49452ae9491e3cb94750687f221d2b [PATCH] mac80211: fix NULL pointer dereference when ftrace is enabled commit: de30e10d0080bccca8fe56f8dcb75171fffdb695 [PATCH] mac80211: Fix probe request filtering in IBSS mode commit: 764309980c4e68ea2d3312199e436ac8549e5f84 [PATCH] mac80211: quit addba_resp_timer if Tx BA session is torn down commit: 8900170d176e29c905d959e515b502debc58219c [PATCH] mac80211: Reset dynamic ps timer in Rx path. commit: 10275a53c5ed0ddc826449d6df052bb41a1fcbce [PATCH] mac80211: Retry null data frame for power save commit: afd9fc6961f208b539d6accd49927639d964be23 [PATCH] mac80211: fix deferred hardware scan requests commit: a850f39d86b2fa5a0933ccd6c8e91e9e86d62937 [PATCH] mac80211: tear down all agg queues when restart/reconfig hw commit: 6a45694284d21a5f1f322eea978247edd8916410 [PATCH] mac80211: move netdev queue enabling to correct spot commit: fb85b86ad4989b8d3aa5cbb2aafc9568a22fd3ce [PATCH] mac80211: remove bogus TX agg state assignment commit: 5eef7398c31fcbb13555c8a64ae691034b2cd8be [PATCH] mac80211: fix rts threshold check commit: ea85171617b466c677bfa9e67fc1e526b65d4bea [PATCH] mac80211: Fix robust management frame handling (MFP) thanks!
