    ath5k: use fixed antenna for tx descriptors · 8bd8beab
    Bruno Randolf 提交于
    when using a fixed antenna we should use the antenna number in all tx
    descriptors, otherwise the hardware will sometimes send the frame out on the
    other antenna. it seems like the hardware does not always respect the default
    antenna and diversity settings (esp.  AR5K_STA_ID1_DEFAULT_ANTENNA).
    
    also i would like to note that antenna diversity does not always work correctly
    on 5414 (at least) when only one antenna is connected: for example all frames
    might be received on antenna A but still the HW tries to send on antenna B some
    times, causing packet loss.
    
    this is both verified with the antenna statistics output of the previous patch
    and a spectrum analyzer.
