In xmit.c the function ath_tx_complete_aggr test if the fi->retries < ATH_MAX_SW_RETRIES. If this condition is true, ATH9K handle software retry. Minstrel set in the frame one or more rates, for each rate minstrel set a retries count. I think is sufficient. Why ATH9K need to manage the software retries? With the test we have a minimal of 30 retries (ATH_MAX_SW_RETRIES is set to 30). I plan to remove the software retry int ATH9K, before I would like to know if theses retries is necessary. Regards.
