Hi,

Ok. So r258030 changed the antenna configuration for transmitting to
use the tx chainmask from the EEPROM settings,r ather than hard-coding
it to IWN_ANT_AB. This is needed because a bunch of NICs actually
don't have two antennas and if you feed it IWN_ANT_AB it just plainly
doesn't work.

So, if you try -HEAD, but you set antmask_2stream to be IWN_ANT_AB,
does it fix the problem?

Ie, add this line

linkq.antmsk_2stream = IWN_ANT_AB;

.. just after this line:

linkq.ampdu_limit = htole16(4000);

Thanks,


-a
