If gain offset calibration fails, we can't have i/q correction and we can't tune to that channel propertly. This is a known problem also reported on binary HAL ;-) http://madwifi-project.org/ticket/1869 we miss something in rf/phy initialization i guess... _____________________________________________ > ath5k-devel mailing list > ath5k-devel@lists.ath5k.org > https://lists.ath5k.org/mailman/listinfo/ath5k-devel > -- GPG ID: 0xD21DB2DB As you read this post global entropy rises.
