I thought about this patch some more, and I'm wondering what's the point
in doing this? These statistics are going to be completely useless for
most people and they'll waste some memory/cpu cycles, especially on
small-cache devices. I think it's much more useful to simply pass the
information to mac80211 via rx flags and get them added to the radiotap
header.
I'd like to keep the number of 'poor man's debug hacks' in the driver to
a minimum, and there are some other things that I think should be
removed: rx_frags and rx_beacons in struct ath_rx_stats, the tx/rx MAC
sampling hack, and pretty much anything else that can be just as easily
accessed from mac80211 through regular interfaces.
Does that mean we can just put the stats in mac80211, or do we have
to be running a sniffer to gather the stats?
Thanks,
Ben
