ath9k module spams logs with "ForceXPAon: 0"

Thanks John,

Indeed it doesn't look like this patch has been applied to Jaunty. I'm adding a note for the kernel team that this is going into Intrepid via the 2.6.27.13 stable patch set, see bug 321474.

    ath9k: quiet harmless ForceXPAon messages

    This is a port of one line of upstream patch
    f1dc56003b23d2d5bb5a756de6b1633a76c9e697

    The "ForceXPAon" messages on ath9k were not meant to be printed
    regularly, lets quiet them as this can happen quite frequently
    (scans) and will fill the logs with tons of these messages.

@John -- I brought that patch forward from Intrepid to Jaunty and built some test kernels. If you could test those to confirm that this message is correctly suppressed. If you could test the kernels at the URL below and report back here that would be helpful:

    http://people.ubuntu.com/~apw/lp325469-jaunty/

Yep, that fixes it.

This has been fixed by upstream stable update to 2.6.27.13 (see LP bug #321474)

Has been cherry picked from Intrepid 2.6.27.13 update (see LP bug #321474).

Marking this Fix Released for Jaunty as this patch should be available in the latest 2.6.28-11.42 Jaunty Kernel. This is still Fix Committed for Intrepid since the Intrepid kernel with this patch is still sitting in intrepid-proposed.
