From 6158425be398936af1fd04451f78ffad01529cb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2009 18:18:49 -0400 Subject: ath9k: implement IO serialization All 802.11n PCI devices (Cardbus, PCI, mini-PCI) require serialization of IO when on non-uniprocessor systems. PCI express devices not not require this. This should fix our only last standing open ath9k kernel.org bugzilla bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12110 A port is probably required to older kernels and I can work on that.
