This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled ath9k_htc: Do not support PowerSave by default to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 0bc1854de4b8c003c96e27db63c6f859521905b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleksij Rempel <linux@rempel-privat.de> Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 09:14:53 +0100 Subject: ath9k_htc: Do not support PowerSave by default commit 6bca610d97b6139a1d7598b8009da9d339daa50f upstream. It is a copy/paste of patch provided by Sujith for ath9k. "Even though we make sure PowerSave is not enabled by default by disabling the flag, WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT on init, PS could be enabled by userspace based on various factors like battery usage etc. Since PS in ath9k is just broken and has been untested for years, remove support for it, but allow a user to explicitly enable it using a module parameter."
