Synopsis: [ath] [patch] [request] allow Atheros watchdog timeout to be tunable State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: adrian State-Changed-When: Thu Dec 22 23:19:14 UTC 2011 State-Changed-Why: Submitter reports thus: == The Soekris box net5501 I use as my router/WAP/server used to report timeouts every few seconds. I upped that timeout value by changing the code to fix it (well, actually, reduce it to a managable level). It seemed that this should be tunable via a sysctl instead. I've added a second antenna for diversity and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. So, I don't need it any longer. == This is a common problem - if not all antennas are configured, the radio/baseband can incorrectly calibrate things and it shows up as a "stuck beacon". http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=143868
