2.6.28-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Luis R. Rodriguez This is a port of: commit SHA1 6158425be398936af1fd04451f78ffad01529cb0 for 2.6.28. 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 Signed-off-by: Luis R.
