From a3dcbae2476f2c32e8f123dd833d789f7f494711 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Kondratiev Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2015 10:23:25 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: ratelimit Tx error message Situations observed when IP stack schedules lots of frames for Tx while no connection (connection lost, for example). In this case, dmesg bloated with error message "FW not connected", printed for every frame. Ratelimit this error message to avoid dmesg pollution.
