From a549459c96ba99a691aa1cafeabdd327a7a2bfcf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Wagner Date: Tue, 25 Sep 2012 21:32:55 +0530 Subject: ath9k: Fix rx filtering issue for older chips We need to have the promiscuous mode enabled for older chipsets so that the olderchips hardware does not filters out some valid/necessary frames that need to be sent to mac80211. Fix this by enabling promiscus mode for all the chipsets whose macversion <= AR9160 chipsets. This should fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45591 shafi: made the fix generic by having the frame filtering disabled for chipsets older than AR9280.
