brcmsmac not working well

[Naveen Goswamy]

I have the BCM4313 [14e4:4727] (rev 01)

When using wireshark, I see that I am getting many {TCP Retransmission,TCP Dup
ACK,TCP RST} with {TCP, HTTP, SSH} when using brcmsmac driver in the 3.2.1
kernel.  I've tried 3.3-rc5 kernel with similar results.

I notice a lot of these popping up in /var/log/messages as well:

ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211:  txop exceeded phylen 155/256 dur
1746/1504
ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211:  txop exceeded phylen 130/256 dur
1546/1504
ieee80211 phy0: wl0: brcms_c_d11hdrs_mac80211:  txop exceeded phylen 130/256 dur
1546/1504


any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks,

Naveen

Now I'm confused, and I probably confused you as well ...

Shouldn't we just remove the sdata/local argument? We don't need it
after all, except for the fallback case that never happens (so we can do
something like "return 1" after the warning)?

Ditto here, though I actually got confused even further ... we shouldn't
remove the local/sdata arguments, we should only remove the use of
local->hw.conf.channel! IOW simply something like this:

-       if (!sband) {
-               WARN_ON(1);
-               sband = local->hw.wiphy->bands[local->hw.conf.channel->band];
-       }
+       if (WARN_ON(!sband))
+               return 1;

should be sufficient instead of doing all the prototype changes?

You're right. I'll resend a new patchset.
