rtwn_usb(4): fix Tx instability with RTL8192CU chipsets
- Fix data frames transmission via POWER_STATUS register setup - it seems to be set by MACID_CONFIG firmware command, which was broken* in r29
rtwn_usb(4): fix Tx instability with RTL8192CU chipsets
- Fix data frames transmission via POWER_STATUS register setup - it seems to be set by MACID_CONFIG firmware command, which was broken* in r290439 and later disabled in r307529.
We can re-enable it later if / when firmware rate adaptation will be ready; however, this step will be required anyway - for firmware-less builds.
- Force RTS / CTS protection frame rate to CCK1 (this rate works fine without any additional setup; no better workaround is known yet).
The problem was not observed on the channel 1 or with CCK1 rate enforced ('ifconfig wlan0 ucastrate 1' for 11 b/g; not possible for 11n networks due to ifconfig(8) bug).
* I'm not sure if it works before r290439 because - AFAIR - I never seen firmware rate adaptation working for 10-STABLE urtwn(4) (It needs EN_BCN bit set and RSSI updates at least).
Tested with RTL8188CUS in STA mode (in regular mode and with disabled MRR - DARFRC*8 is set to 0)
