[PATCH v2 07/55] staging: wfx: ensure that retry policy always fallbacks to MCS0 / 1Mbps

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@xxxxxxxxxx>

When not using HT mode, minstrel always includes 1Mbps as fallback rate.
But, when using HT mode, this fallback is not included. Yet, it seems
that it could save some frames. So, this patch add it unconditionally.
