[PATCH] ath9k: Store noise immunity values across scanning

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <hidden>
Date: 2011-09-19 14:45:11
Subsystem: atheros ath generic utilities, qualcomm atheros ath9k wireless driver, the rest · Maintainers: Jeff Johnson, Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, Linus Torvalds

CCK/OFDM noise immunilty values are always reset to defaults
during bgscan. This could affect the link quality and
performance when the STA is associated in a noisy channel.
So do not override the learned values across the scanning.
