But I guess that's because iwl-3945-rs is loaded and available so it's chosen first or something. > This looks like the reverse of a dust-up we had a couple of months ago: > > http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=117875332512693&w=2 > > It is possible to change the rate control algorithm now via debugfs. > In the past someone proposed letting drivers request their default > rate scaling algorithm, and I think that makes a lot of sense. > Any thoughts? Apply the patch already? IIRC James made a pretty good one around that time to let the driver choose a default name as part of the hw structure it registers and it can be NULL for the default. Of course, in a perfect world we'd have a 'default' rate control setting somewhere and apply that for drivers that have rate_control==NULL, while default would default to 'simple' to avoid the issue above. johannes
