p54: tx refused but queue active
In the mainline kernel, p54usb will fail because the TX queue length can become < 0. This problem has been reported as Bugzilla #13725. The failure is expressed by the following message in the logs: WARNING: at net/mac80211/tx.c:1325 ieee80211_tx+0x23c/0x298 [mac80211]() Hardware name: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC tx refused but queue active This problem has been recently observed in the wireless-testing tree, where a full solution is being tested. That fix is too invasive for 2.6.31-rcX, but the simple change supplied here will prevent the failure. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
