True, but there's currently no way to ensure that unless you want to silently drop the second packet, you can only stop the whole queue or accept all packets, not stop a single destination mac address from getting frames. > I would however still recommend to verify, whether rate-selection > algorithms could work with statistics only. That very much depends on the algorithm. "simple" can probably work with statistics only, but algorithms such as "minstrel" or "SampleRate" will need more detailed information. But we need a framework for indicating hw capabilities to the rate control algorithms anyway, so this can be part of that framework and the more advanced algorithms just won't work with zd1211 then. "minstrel" also requires multiple retry rates per packet. johannes
