Thank you for the reply.
What I want to do basically is changing the backoff algorithm to implement a
modified protocol in Linux (for my thesis). From what I know, the firmware
is inaccessible. Are you aware of any available source code for a firmware
of any driver?
Please, I need this help so badly to continue my thesis work, any ideas?
Thanks,
Maali

I'm speaking for mac80211 only, there is no such implementation. This
stuff is mostly done directly by hw or firmware.. I'm not familiar
with all the drivers though.
Also, where can I find the

look for cw_max cw_min. It is brought to driver through conf_tx handler
