[PATCH] mac80211: initialize rate control earlier for tdls station

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

 



From: Marek Puzyniak <marek.puzyniak@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently when TDLS station in driver goes from authorized
to associated state it can not use rate control parameters
because rate control is not initialized yet. Some drivers
require parameters already initialized by rate control when
entering associated state. It can be done by initializing
rate control after station transition to associated state
but before notifying driver about that.
