iwlagn: workaround bug crashing some APs
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch reverts commit 9b76883 which
was introduced in 2.6.38-rc1.  It works around a problem where the iwlagn
driver stimulates a bug crashing (requiring power cycle to recover) some
APs under heavy traffic.
