At the same time, the aggregated +ba_timeout (the number of ba timeout retries) also rises. If the +actual_ack_count/expected_ack_count ratio is 0 and the number of ba +timeout retries rises to BA_TIMEOUT_MAX, no tx packets can be delivered. +Reloading the uCode and bring the system back to normal operational +state. + +Signed-off-by: Trieu 'Andrew' Nguyen <trieux.t.nguyen@intel.com> +Signed-off-by: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com> +Signed-off-by: Reinette Chatre <reinette.chatre@intel.com> + +diff -up linux-2.6.32.noarch/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c.orig linux-2.6.32.noarch/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c +--- linux-2.6.32.noarch/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c.orig 2010-03-22 15:48:54.000000000 -0400 ++++ linux-2.6.32.noarch/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/iwl-agn.c 2010-03-22 16:06:01.000000000 -0400 +@@ -2559,10 +2559,21 @@ static int iwl_mac_ampdu_action(struct i + return ret;
