(Michael Buesh's patch is taping over the > issue.) No it is not. It is fixing the issue. It fixes the following issues: * You must ignore the Txstat-requested bit in the driver. * You must report bad frames with the excessive_retries set. The issue you are (most likely) talking about is that we can not reliably tell whether a frame was good in the driver. That is a different issue completely seperate from the two points above, which my patch fixes. With my patch rate-controlling correctly works. Without it does not. If you find a way to fix the reliable-detection-of-good-TX issue, that's another good fix. But I think it's not release critical, because the device works with the current "guessing-around" code. But without the two points above fixed, it does not correctly work at all (unless you manually tune to the best rate each time you move the machine). -- Greetings Michael. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
