[Patch] mac80211: add rts-cts for dynamic SMPS stations

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

 



Checking whether dynamic SMPS is enabled at the receiver station for
which packet is intended to be transmitted. Enable RTS
protection for multi-stream rates for such packets.
