Hi all,

I've made quite a few changes to my 11n branch and I'd appreciate testing.

* The AR5212/AR5416 HAL code wasn't reinitialising the AID field in
the hardware after a reset; this has been fixed
* I've been fiddling with the multicast group key configuration in STA
mode, but I may revert those changes now that I've identified what the
problem is
* I've chased down and fixed a rather annoying bug with this AR9160 in
station mode, where it seems to occasionally receive frames destined
to other stations.
This messed up all kinds of crypto and A-MPDU state keeping. This
required a patch to net80211 as the driver doesn't have the relevant
information available in the RX process.

If you're trying my code then you'll have to build a replacement
net80211 as well as ath/ath_pci modules.

There are some outstanding issues that Berislav has reported, so I'm
going to work on those now.

I haven't yet tested out AR9285 or AR9287 in STA or hostap mode. I've
not wanted to get too distracted just yet.

There are a few outstanding issues with the first pass of this work
(before I shift focus to tidying things up in preparation for HEAD).
Those are documented in the Wiki (mostly for me, so I don't forget.)

Thanks,


Adrian
